Of course, the most exciting thing to have happened in English football over the last 12 months is the incredible title race between Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the Premier League.

Heading into the campaign, many had expected Klopp's side to provide a challenge for City, but no-one had expected it to be quite as incredible as it was.

After months of twists and turns, the race came down to the last day, with the reigning champions defeating Brighton away 4-1 to retain their trophy, though, Liverpool played their part, beating Wolves 2-0 and ensuring that they finished only one point their rivals.

Klopp's team finished on an astonishing 97 points and only lost one game all season, a points tally that would have seen them win the Premier League every single year in the competition's history except for the last two when Pep's team have been champions.

While Liverpool fans will no doubt be dissappointed, football fans the world over can be grateful that they have got the chance to witness such an exceptional title battle.
