EXCLUSIVE: 'We maybe paved the way to what they have now': Liverpool hero Alan Kennedy on being a flying full-back, his 60 second medical and his shock winner on the day that Real Madrid last lost a Champions League final

The traders selling flags on Liverpool’s Paradise Street this week have been earning their money from the face of Luis Diaz, and the film playing on loop at a museum near the Albert Dock features the miracle of Istanbul. The early 1980s seem a distant memory now.

But in so many ways, the team who defeated Real Madrid 1-0 in Paris 41 years ago, in the same city where Saturday’s Champions League final takes place, delivered a miracle too. In the process, they helped build the kind of global fanbase that, to this day, Manchester City can only dream of.
