Liverpool finished the campaign just two points behind Manchester City. This was the closest that they have come to ending the league title drought that has gone on for more than two decades. Liverpool may have lifted 18 championships until now, but they are yet to win the Premier League. Brendan Rodgers managed to put together an incredible team that was spearheaded by Luis Suarez.
The Uruguayan scored 31 league goals last season and was crucial in ensuring that the club returned to the Champions League after a five-year absence. He did not stay to enjoy the benefits of it after moving to Barcelona in a £ 75 million deal. Suarez appeared to be in tears after seeing his team threw away a three goal lead to only draw the match.
Manchester City, who eventually won the title, moved ahead in front after this match. Liverpool will be facing the demonswhen they travel to Selhurst Park after a defeat against Chelsea. This was the exact scenario last campaign, although Liverpool now find themselves much lower down the table.
“Luis [Suarez] was in tears and I felt so sorry him for him because he had given so much for the team.Everyone had worked so hard to put the club in a position to win the title. There had been so many highs during the season and there was a real sense of togetherness in the squad.But with that result everyone knew it was over. Palace burst the bubble and brought Liverpool crashing back down to earth,” said former Liverpool defender Martin Kelly, who now plays for Crystal Palace.
