After 56 games, 135 goals, the most prolific debut season in club history, an eighth European Cup final – and much more – the 2017-18 campaign is now consigned to the record books.

So, with a helping hand from official LFC statistician Ged Rea, here are the best facts and figures from the past nine months…
