When you’re desperate to win the league title after what is about to become a 20-year wait, there’s not much consolation in finishing runners-up.
But if that is the scenario at the end of this season, then Liverpool should take quite a lot of it.
If you are destined to finish second, then the best you can do is make a challenge while you’re doing it. Even if Manchester United get the four points needed to secure the title before Liverpool go to West Brom on Sunday, then we’re still in the middle of May.
And to keep the title race alive that long into the season is something that Liverpool should take great confidence from going into next season.
They are now looking and playing like champions and if that momentum can be bottled then unleashed again in August, it will provide a great platform for another challenge.
But whatever happens in the last couple of weeks of this campaign, at least United now know Liverpool are capable of giving them a challenge.
And that alone signifies a year of great progress.
