My Top 3 Favourite Games From Last Season: No2

I would like to share my personal favourite games from last season that I attended. I was lucky enough to attend a lot of games so here is number 2.

14th May 2022. FA Cup Final day. A trip London to pay a visit to Anfield South for the second time this year. Throughout the day all I saw was Red, no blue in sight. The sun was shining and a good day was ahead of us, we could feel it. 

The unofficial Liverpool fan park was at the Green Man in Wembley. A see of red shirts and red smoke filled the pub garden up. A day full of singing and drinking was ahead. 

Making our way down the steep hill from the Green Man to Anfield South was memorable, we sang the whole way down, nothing in our way. Getting into the stadium was quick and easy (unlike a certain stadium). I made my way to my seat and enjoyed the view of s slowly filling Wembley.  

After the barely heard national anthem, the game started. Chances came thick and fast for both teams but no one could find anything. 90 minutes past and shots that were inches away from a winner were not enough. 

Another 30 minutes of close chances passed and the game was forced to go to penalties. Alonso hit the woodwork so Mane had to slot it home for the Reds to win it, however Mandy had other plans. Mount stepped up and had his dreams crushed by Alison. Tsimikas stepped up, if he scores Liverpool are FA Cup Winners. He put it away nicely! Liverpool we’re crowned champions for the 8th time, the first under Klopp. 

This is one of my favourite games because it was the first trophy I have seen won in person and because of the hopes of the quadruple. After that win, we were all hopeful, it wasn’t meant to be.
