In the aftermath of Liverpool's 2018 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid in Kiev, Jurgen Klopp was in his Formby home when he picked up a framed photograph of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The midfielder, who was crucial to the club reaching European football's showpiece, had suffered damage to multiple knee ligaments a month earlier. Klopp held the image up, telling assistant manager Peter Krawietz as well as his friend Die Toten Hosen lead singer Campino and a German journalist of his sadness at the English midfielder's injury situation.
He felt as though "Ox" had sacrificed his body to get Liverpool so far, only to be robbed of the chance to affect matters at the most pivotal juncture.
