Liverpool can attest to that as it hits the two-week mark since the team’s last game.

It has felt longer given the disastrous conclusion to the last batch of club fixtures which saw Liverpool dumped out of the Champions League and lose at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final as Arne Slot suffered consecutive defeats for the first time since taking over as manager.

It raised questions about the holes that need to be plugged in this side - despite it sitting comfortably top of the league - while the injuries to Alisson and Ryan Gravenberch didn’t help during the pause in club soccer.



Real Madrid won days after the Alexander-Arnold news, Champions League conquers PSG cruised to a 6-1 victory and, to top it all off, Newcastle United’s post-cup celebrations reached new heights courtesy of a city center bus tour.

Most Liverpool fans have shown humility in the last two weeks, with a grudging acceptance that the better team won at Wembley and deserved to end its 70-year trophy drought.

The Premier League title race should provide little jeopardy and, with no hope of a double, things could feel a little flat.

Oddly, it’s Newcastle that should provide all the motivation needed to get going again.

Those scenes of fans hanging out of windows, flares clouding the sky and star names initiating chants have been a long time coming for fans of the Magpies.

So the wait for Liverpool supporters to commemorate a league title together has now stretched to half of 70 years endured by Newcastle fans.

It was estimated that around 150,000 lined the streets on Tyneside on Saturday; it could be six times that when Liverpool finally gets round to celebrating in May

The scenes when Jurgen Klopp’s Champions League winners returned home from Madrid in 2019 should give a taste of what’s in store - that wait was only 14 years.

That alone should provide all the motivation needed for Liverpool to pick up where it left off in the Premier League, when it beat Southampton 3-1 at Anfield on 8 March
