Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

One week on from the incredible scenes that accompanied the Liverpool’s triumphant return to the city, with European Cup number six in the bag, Dan Kay and Paul Philbin join host Paul Wheelock for a View from the Kop fans’ podcast. Dan and Philbo were both in Madrid to see the Reds win the Champions League, but has it sunk in yet? And how does the feeling differ to the last time the Reds won Ol’ Big Ears in Istanbul in 2005? The Anfield season-ticket holders answer those questions and then marvel at the big difference Jurgen Klopp has brought about in the past 12 months. From Alisson – who Philbo makes a big claim about – to Joel Matip and Divock Origi, there is plenty of praise for members of Klopp’s squad. But the biggest accolades go to the Liverpool manager himself, who if history proves anything, will be here for another three seasons at least. But why shouldn’t it be longer? Philbo and Dan discuss that and then turn their thoughts to the summer and the ‘lovely position’ the Reds find themselves in. Also on the agenda is the plans to increase the capacity in the Anfield Road end before our panel answer four quick-fire questions about what will go down as one of the greatest seasons in this great club’s history.

Liverpool are champions of Europe. What’s more, they are the best team on the continent... and they look very hard to stop. That is the overriding feeling on the latest episode of Analysing Anfield with Kristian Walsh and Josh Williams, as the pair meticulously go through the 90 minutes in Madrid - and beyond. The Reds’ long ball game is discussed as the match provides several record-breaking stats for the season - including the lowest number of passes in a single match. Josh rallies against the argument this was a poor spectacle, with Kristian keen to compare Jurgen Klopp to the good José Mourinho... except he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The likes of Sadio Mane, Alisson Becker and James Milner are also lauded, while the final question is asked: can Liverpool make it seven times in Istanbul? A must listen.

Like millions of Reds fans all over the world, it was back down to earth for our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce when he returned to work at the office after a historic weekend in Madrid. But such is the nature of following the Reds, there is very rarely a quiet day, and late last Tuesday afternoon it was confirmed that Daniel Sturridge and Alberto Moreno are leaving the club. And, in his last podcast before he has some very well-deserved time off, James Pearce speaks to Paul Wheelock to give his reaction to the news and look back on Sturridge's rollercoaster Anfield career, which started in a blaze of goals and ultimately ended on a glorious high. Paul asks James whether Jurgen Klopp will be targeting replacements at left-back and up front, with the answer to the latter question particularly interesting. Our man in the know at Anfield also talks the future of Champions League final goalscoring hero Divock Origi as well as key men James Milner and Joel Matip before James gives us the latest on Liverpool's pre-season plans and what is still to come. - And if you'd like to hear more from James, Ian Doyle, Neil Fitzmaurice and Peter Hooton about the Champions League win, there are still tickets available for our latest Blood Red Live event, taking place at the Baltic Market in Liverpool on Wednesday (June 5).

Nothing will beat those scenes when Jordan Henderson got his hands on Liverpool’s sixth European Cup and lifted Ol’ Big Ears high into the Madrid sky to the utter delight of Reds supporters in the Wanda Metropolitano and all over the world. But that was just a culmination of a magical weekend in the Spanish capital. And one of the definite highlights was when thousands upon thousands of Koppites crammed into the Fan Park before the final itself. With music from the likes of BOSS Night favourites Ben Burke, Kieran Molyneux and Jamie Webster, Chelcee Grimes, a very special performance from Cast singer-songwriter John Power, plus a DJ set from Colin Murray and an appearance from The Anfield Wrap’s John Gibbons and Neil Atkinson, it was a swelteringly hot afternoon to remember. Producer Michael Pearson was out in Madrid for the ECHO and he captures the mood in Plaza Felipe II in this special audio portrait, which includes music from Webster, an interview with Dan Nicholson, who is one of the men behind BOSS night, and an interview with and music from Power, whose spine-tingling rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone closes the podcast.

It's 2.15 in the morning at the Wanda Metropolitano and, with their final copy filed and the last of the jubilant Liverpool players spoken to, James Pearce, Ian Doyle and Conor Dunn sit down to record a very special Blood Red podcast to react to Liverpool's historic 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final. It starts with James and Connor giving their verdict on a match that saw the Reds crowned the kings of Europe for the sixth time before picking out individuals for particular praise. Alisson's performance, which was in stark contrast to the one produced by Loris Karius in last year's final, is hailed, as is the culmination of Divock Origi's incredible comeback. But the biggest accolades are saved for the manager Jurgen Klopp and the captain Jordan Henderson. There are also kind words for the magnificent Mohamed Salah, who banished those memories of Kiev by firing Liverpool into an early lead, and for the club's remarkabe supporters. And, after being moved from the pressbox to behind the goal where Origi blasted in the goal that sealed the European Cup, our trio select their favourite moments from a night that will never, ever be forgotten.
