One was Mamadou Sakho, a footballer who, for at least a while, has become a cult hero at the Kop before banning drugs and liquidating Jurgen Klopp a little overtaken by a roller coaster race in Anfield.
The other, a Europa League winner who would later lift the Premier League, the FA Cup, would play two World Cups, play in some other European final and star in Serie A.
However, almost no one remembers his time in Anfield.
It was Victor Moses, who joined Sakho to make his Swansea City debut in September 2013, having accepted a one-season transfer to Chelsea this month, where he had been an unused replacement in the Europa League’s final win over Benfica. Previous.
Moses had the best start, scoring after just 36 minutes for Brendan Rodgers’ appearance to claim a 2–2 draw.
The 22-year-old Nigerian alien then the next five games before being an unused replacement in the house win over West Bromwich Albion.
Life would be much better for Moses, who made only three more openings, the only one in the Premier League was a 3–1 loss at Hull City, and scored only one more goal, scoring the 2-0 FA Cup win at Bournemouth in January 2014.

Moses played less than 70 minutes combined at the time of the Premier League season when Liverpool pursued the title, his brief departure in a 3–2 win over Manchester City with five games to play proved crucial.
With the Reds in front in time and holding on, Moses had a chance to penetrate deep into the middle.
Instead, a poor touch allowed visitors to immediately return the ball to liverpool, where Jordan Henderson was forced to make his own poor arrangement, resulting in a desperate crack over Samir Nasri and a red card.
To date, Rodgers believes Henderson’s three-game suspension, Liverpool, is the name, as they lost to Chelsea and tied for Crystal Palace.
There was no chance of Moses being held and, without a spot at Chelsea, he spent seasons on loan at Stoke City and West Ham United.
But the arrival of Antonio Conte completely replaced things. Moses was a normal right-back when Chelsea won the Premier League, and was sent off in the FA Cup final loss to Arsenal. The following year he was in the squad that beat Manchester United in the top.
Conte’s departure saw Moses fall ashamed at Chelsea and he accepted an 18-month loan at Fenerbahce, which ended before reconnecting with his former homeman at Inter Milan, where he helped five goals in 12 Serie A appearances to become ultimateist and belatedly replaced the latter. the last defeat of the month 3-2 in the Europa League against Sevilla.
Moses is now back in Chelsea, frozen from the first-team symbol and in danger of being a forgotten guy again.
In Liverpool, however, he will be remembered as absolutely immemorial.
