The UEFA Champions League Final row between Real Madrid team captain Sergio Ramos and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has now entered its next round. The actual match took place back on May 26, but the war of words is still going strong.

Klopp criticized the Madrid defender yet again last week, and at least three times this summer over his controversial entanglements with Liverpool superstar winger Mohamed Salah and goalkeeper Loris Karius that left both Reds players seriously hurt. Sergio Ramos has certainly done his part to keep the beef going as he’s shown zero remorse for his actions and still maintains his innocence in the incidents in question.

Liverpool FC, essentially the champions of the summer transfer window, will begin their 2018-19 Premier League campaign at home against West Ham United. This will be our first chance to see if their blockbuster transfer business will pay dividends or not.

Liverpool don’t get a trophy for it, but they are certainly the champions of the off-season/preseason. Now the 2018-19 season should be the time to get that first piece of silverware of the Jurgen Klopp era, as they have a squad that’s locked and loaded.

With £179 million spent on new players this summer, the expectations are nothing short of ending the 28 year long Premier League title drought. You can’t really point to a true weakness anywhere in the side. The only question here is- have they done enough to close the gap at Manchester City- who are coming off a record breaking campaign?

In analyzing the prospects of the upcoming Liverpool FC season, you got to start by looking at their phenomenal summer transfer window. They have spent £179 million on new players acquired this summer, and the expectations are now nothing short of ending the 28 year long Premier League title drought.
