Past playersAlberto Moreno
Years: 2014-2019
Appearances: 141
Goals: 3
Honours: Champions League (2019)
Spanish left-back Alberto Moreno spent five years with Liverpool and signed it off by playing his part in the club returning to the summit of European football.
Recruited from Sevilla in 2014 as the Reds sought to build on a second-placed finish in the Premier League and capitalise on their return to the Champions League, Moreno made an instant impression with a stunning solo goal at Tottenham Hotspur.
The No.18 clocked up 91 appearances across his first two seasons on Merseyside, a period of transition as Brendan Rodgers departed and Jürgen Klopp began his project at Anfield.
A Europa League winner before his transfer to Liverpool was completed, Moreno was on course to emulate the feat with the Reds in 2015-16 until former club Sevilla inflicted defeat in the final in Basel.
His opportunities were limited for much of the following campaign, which saw Klopp guide his team back to Champions League qualification, but the defender's application and attitude in response to losing his place would be duly rewarded.
After impressing the boss in pre-season, Moreno regained a starting XI berth in the opening months of 2017-18 and rarely looked like relinquishing his position until an unfortunate injury presented fellow left-back Andy Robertson with a chance.
Robertson's stellar form in the 18 months that followed was such that Moreno made only five appearances in 2018-19 – but Klopp saluted the important role the Spaniard fulfilled in the wider squad as the Reds registered a club-record 97 Premier League points and won the Champions League.
Moreno then bid farewell upon the end of his contract after that unforgettable campaign.
