On Wednesday, for the first time since 2007, Liverpool are in a European final.

Sevilla will be their opponents in the Europa League final in Basel.

Nine years ago, it was the Champions League final against AC Milan. It's actually 15 years since they were in the final two of European football's second tier trophy. On that night, they defeated Alaves 5-4 (a game we remembered here).

Against Sevilla Jurgen Klopp will be without the services of usual centre-back Mamadou Sakho after the French international last month tested positive for a fat-burning drug and was subsequently banned by UEFA.

It was a tribute to left-back Joey Jones.

Anthony Grice's patio is also now a tribute to Mamadou Sakho's misdeeds.
