Liverpool hero John Aldridge admits he feared the worst before their FA Cup final shootout victory against Chelsea.
Aldridge wrote for the Sunday World: “Somehow, Liverpool did it again
“Jurgen Klopp’s magnificent teams of champions found a way to win the FA Cup on a day when they were not at their best and so many things went against them.
“Mo Salah’s injury, Virgil van Dijk’s injury, a succession of missed chances and even last gasp drama in the penalty shoot out.
“When Sadio Mane missed his spot kick to win it, I feared Liverpool’s moment had gone.
“Then there was a final twist and now the name of Kostas Tsimikas will be etched into Liverpool folklore as the man who score the winning penalty for Liverpool.
“What a moment it was for Kostas and from my seat at Wembley, I have to admit there was a tear in the eye as I saw my old team get their hands back on the FA Cup.
“While I never doubt this team, I’ll be honest here and admit this felt like a day when they might just run out of answers.”
