The following is not written in an adversarial spirit.

Manchester United possess one of the biggest fanbases in the world, but this night could not happen with them.

Real Madrid are Europe's most successful club – according to trophy haul, at least – but these scenes would not be replicated in Spain.

Barcelona, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain. None of them could witness what the House of Blues, sitting in the shadow of Fenway Park, did last night.

Thousands of Liverpool fans residing in the United States migrated, pilgrimage'd, to come together in a show of solidarity. Liverpool are the champions of Europe; this is the time to celebrate.

What happened on Saturday night, the night before Liverpool faced Sevilla in a pre-season game in Boston, should be broken down in the most simplistic way possible.

Over a decade ago, Liverpool fans based in Liverpool began a magazine for fans (otherwise known as a fanzine) called BOSS. It touched upon fan culture, and the essence of what it meant to support Liverpool; both the club and the city.

That vision has developed over time. The fanzine is no longer published, but its spirit lived on with special nights held at various venues around Liverpool City Centre. It came to be known as: BOSS Night. Boss by name and nature.

What began as a local night for supporters to enjoy, has now become a relative global phenomenon to Liverpool fans. Because of this, thousands of them packed into this Boston establishment, nearly 3,200 miles from Anfield, for this LFC Fan Event. They sang, they danced, they celebrated.

Perhaps this needs breaking down further. In another country and continent, Liverpool supporters merged to experience their own moment, their own thread in the tapestry of this story. A mass of humanity congregated to sing songs about their club, and watch a talented musician in Jamie Webster (a staple of the BOSS Night) perform.

Liverpool is a club which cares about community, belonging. In the US, to meet a Liverpool supporter is to be reassured about their beliefs. If somebody loves Liverpool FC, then they should buy into the values which have been reflected by the club for over a century.

Nothing says community more than what happened at the House of Blues. Jamie Webster would sing, The Anfield Wrap would entertain, and the fans would respond. Together.

As the evening progressed, more fans filled the floor in front of the stage. Beer was thrown, both in premeditation and euphoria. Those watching Jamie bounced up and down, creating a sea of red waves, shifting with every song. All their favourites, old and new, were sung. Allez, Allez, Allez and Bring on Your Manchester United; You'll Never Walk Alone and The Beautiful South.

This would not happen anywhere else, with any of club. The bond Liverpool now have with their fans (from all over the world) and the club is unparalleled; it is one of the brightest, and best, Europe has to offer; both on and off the pitch. The affinity between supporters and player (and manager, Jurgen Klopp) is unprecedented.

For reasons unknown, this is something which hasn't happened anywhere else, with any other club. That shouldn't concern Liverpool.

Instead, what happened with the Reds inside the House of Blues should be cherished. Nobody will forget the night Boston became Bosston.

The club, team, manager and fans have made this happen, and it is the strongest show of supporter culture you will see (a culture reflected so well in this excellent piece by Goal's Neil Jones).

Right now, Liverpool are champions of Europe, and feel like one of the biggest - if not the biggest - club in the world.
