Others, such as Dejan Lovren, Daniel Sturridge and Alberto Moreno, decided to take the opportunity to remain closer to home.

Lovren returned to his humble beginnings in Bosnia And Herzegovina and posted a picture of him on social media visiting a Franciscan monastery.

Moreno, meanwhile, travelled back to sunny Sevilla with his wife while Sturridge spent some time with his father, who celebrated his 80th birthday this week.

While some spent their time basking in the foreign sun or returning to their roots, Alisson Becker, who won this season’s Golden Glove award for most clean sheets in the Premier League, wasn’t tempted to go a luxury vacation and opted to stay put.  

The goalkeeper remained in Liverpool and posted a picture of himself enjoying the recent upturn in weather as he cooked a barbecue and drank Mate tea.

Klopp will hope the well-earned break will help his players recuperate and focus ahead of the final with the Liverpool boss eager to go one step further after falling short at the last hurdle last season.
