With the Community Shield – a match part-preseason friendly, part-trophy competition – you can construct any narrative you want.

And then there was one. One last Sunday to say our prayers and hope Manchester City open the door for Liverpool. It had been eight straight wins since a 0-0 draw at Goodison left just enough slack for City to overtake The Reds. The consensus was then that we would have to win out....

Football is a game decided by moments. The Champions League is a competition decided by key moments. Unfortunately, they didn't go Liverpool's way tonight.
I'm disappointed to lose 3-0, but little else. Not pissed at the officials, annoyed at Klopp, angry at a player. Liverpool went to the Nou Camp and created chances kept Messi...
The Liverpool attack was in full flow as Liverpool scored five goals without reply to pile the pressure back on Manchester City. Mané and Salah got a brace each after a club record early goal from Keita. Below are the key talking points.

The full backs were yet again in full flow...
Liverpool took Huddersfield apart in one of their best performances of the season to move back to the top of the Premier League. But what are the key stats from an absolutely superb 5-0 win over the Terries at Anfield?
