#2 Anfield record broken

Anfield is a fortress
Anfield is a fortress

Anfield has been turned into something of a fortress since Jurgen Klopp took over and Liverpool are currently on a record-breaking run of having won 22 consecutive league matches at home (a Premier League record), while they have not lost any of their last 54 league games at home since losing to Crystal Palace in April 2017 (the longest in Europe's top five leagues).

They also carried their impressive form with them to Europe, as the Reds had not lost a home game on the continent since 2014 and this defeat to Atletico Madrid ended this fine run in Europe, while also seeing Liverpool suffer defeat at Anfield in any competition since losing to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup in 2018 (a run of 42 matches).

Furthermore, this was the first two-legged European tie lost since Klopp became manager, having reached the showpiece event of all three previous European tournaments he participated in, losing the Europa League final to Sevilla in 2017 and the Champions League final to Real Madrid a year later, while triumphing over Tottenham last year.
