Liverpool may have drawn one more, but it meant 11 games without defeat in an unimaginable close to what they had shown a few months earlier when, after the World Cup in Qatar, they were in mid-table. After the defeat to champions Manchester City, Jurgen Klopp spoke harshly, leading the club to the second-best run in the Premiership.

 

The Red's will have to live with the feeling that injuries were the answer to missing out on a Champions League place, while the loss of a number of iconic players early on sealed a season that had Mohamed Salah as the best player and Arthur Melo as the worst.

Salary Sports reported that the 26-year-old midfielder earns £126,000 per week, £6,552,000 per year. This is one of the worst investments FSG have made in the summer. Press such as The Athletic tipped Melo as the possible new Steven Gerrard, the absolute legend at Anfield.

 

An absolute disappointment of 6 million, meant Arthur Melo at Anfield

After the conclusion of the 2015 season, Steven Gerrard said goodbye to his 34 years of age, and made the journey to the United States to join the Galaxy. "Leaving was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made," the great captain told 20 Minutes. Arthur, meanwhile, will return to Turin after Klopp's refusal to take up the option to buy.
