Hugely, hugely important imo.
1. In this season of all seasons finishing empty handed would be dreadful.
2. Getting the first one of the season takes huge pressure off and gives belief in getting more.
3. After the captains call to arms, it’s fitting and morale boosting he gets the winner
4. For the kids and newbies, that first trophy lift will gel the whole team and give them belief
5. For new managers potentially lined up, is shows this is a team of winners
6. For Klopp, what a way to go
Halcyon days, we may never see their like again…
