'I was Liverpool's INCREDIBLE Champions League hero but now I'm bottom of League Two' | OneFootball

The 2020/21 season was most definitely Liverpool's worst season under Jurgen Klopp and yet it will likely be one of the campaigns that fans will most fondly remember.

The side finished their last 10 Premier League games unbeaten - winning eight - most notably succeeding away against Arsenal and Manchester United to qualify for the Champions League after their hopes had been all but written off.

In what proved to be perhaps Liverpool's most challenging season in recent memory, the Reds somehow managed to secure top four in the Premier League on the last day of the season.

Virgil van Dijk had torn his ACL in a controversial challenge from Jordan Pickford in the derby match against Everton earlier that season and the Reds' defensive personnel was left battered and bruised.

As such, Jurgen Klopp had to make drastic alterations to his first-team lineup and before long he was requiring fringe players to deliver standout performances as the games came thick and fast.

Rhys Williams: Emergency centre-back

Rhys Williams is one such young Liverpool academy graduate who instantly came into the spotlight.

Aged just 19, the English centre-back was highly rated by Jurgen Klopp and in that injury-ridden season, Liverpool quickly had to call on the youngster's services.

Most notably, he was given his Champions League debut in Liverpool's group with Ajax, Atalanta and Midtjylland, featuring in all six matches and helping the Reds to top the group with 13 points.

He partnered Joe Gomez, Fabinho and Joel Matip at centre-back in that time.
