Kathmandu, Aug. 2 -- For Liverpool Football Club fans since watching grainy pictures of the team play in their heydays in the 1980s on Doordarshan, since the Miracle of Istanbul in 2005 when they beat the then mighty AC Milan in the Champions League final after being 3-nil down at half-time, since the almost year of 2013-14 but for the painful Steven Gerrard slip, since the arrival of the charismatic straight-talking Jurgen Klopp in 2015 with his gegenpress and direct, relentless brand of football or since whenever for whatever reason, this truly has been a long time coming. Thirty exact years they have waited for this moment. Finally, their team have their hands on the elusive English top division trophy.

It should have been theirs last...
