Summary

The numbers are staggering. 30 wins from 38. Just one defeat. 21 clean sheets. 89 goals scored. But Liverpool finish their record-breaking season second behind Manchester City. The Reds held up their end of the bargain. They beat Wolves 2-0 to make it nine straight victories to end the league campaign. But City also held their nerve to win 4-1 at Brighton - and that was enough to ensure the title remained at the Etihad. However, the final Post-Game podcast of the Premier League campaign is anything but downbeat. And why would it? Not least with the little matter of a Champions League final to come. It's a podcast that starts as ever with our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce, continues with every word of Jurgen Klopp's after-match press conference, and also features six of our regular callers, plus many messages left on our Blood Red podcast Facebook page, which you can join HERE.
