Ousmane Dembele and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia showed Liverpool the levels needed from forwards in games as big as Champions League knockouts.
The Dutchman is fortunate to have navigated the campaign without a prolific centre-forward and has Mohamed Salah to thank for scoring the goals set to propel Liverpool to silverware.
If Salah departs, Liverpool must upgrade up front.
Jota has not scored in his last 17 Champions League appearances and has struck only five Premier League goals this season.
With a move to Real Madrid seemingly on the horizon, the 26-year-old’s Liverpool career in the Champions League might have ended with him hobbling off after suffering an ankle injury.
If Alexander-Arnold does depart for the Spanish capital, it will be a sad conclusion to a wonderful European career with the Reds.
