The 06-07 season's English Premier League had ended and every team in England was disbanded for the holidays except two teams. This had been a good year for the European players because without an international competition, they could finally get a complete break after working hard for a season.
Although the players of those two teams could not rest so early, it was believed that many would envy them because they advanced to their respective championship finals.
Liverpool, who had just lost the qualification for the next season's Champions League, would only be able to continue to fight in the UEFA Europa League next season. The good news was that they ended up in the final against Spain's Sevilla Football Club for this season's UEFA Europa League.
The UEFA Europa League final would be held on May 17th, just four days after the end of the league tournament.
