Liverpool fans wonāt thank us for reminding them, but itās been exactly six years since Steven Gerrardās infamous slip against Chelsea.
A fortnight previously, the Reds had beaten title rivals Manchester City and in a huddle with his team-mates after the final whistle, captain Gerrard was captured uttering the famous last words.
āThis does not fucking slip now,ā he said.
On 27 April 2014, Gerrardās words came back to haunt him.
JosĆ© Mourinhoās Chelsea were the visitors to Anfield and in first half stoppage time, the former England midfielder slipped while trying to turn in the middle of the pitch, allowing Demba Ba to run through and score the gameās opening goal.
The Blues went on to win the game 2-0 thanks to a bus-parking masterclass from Mourinho, and Man City were crowned champions on the final day of the season.
He said āThis does not fucking slipā and then he slipped.
The irony.
