  Liverpool love Lucas
  
  The Special Recognition Award goes to Lucas Leiva to mark his 10 years of service to LFC.
  
  James Milner, Lucas Leiva and Alberto Moreno of Liverpool arrives at the Liverpool FC Player Awards

  Klopp defeated
  
  It went for £10,500. Klopp lost out.
  
  22:31James Pearce
  
  Going up
  
  Klopp is in a battle here. It’s gone up to £8,000.
  
  22:29James Pearce
  
  Be brave, Jay
  
  Klopp has just bid £5,000 for a trip to Milan Fashion Week, arriving by private jet.
  
  Will take a brave man to deny the boss here.
  
  22:23James Pearce
  
  How much?!?
  
  That went for about £8k. Crazy money.
  
  That’s a week’s worth of my expenses.
  
  22:21James Pearce
  
  Win Damien Lewis!
  
  Lot 5 is a meet and greet with Homeland star Damien Lewis after watching his West End hit The Goat.
  
  (Note: this has nothing to do with Shaun Goater, the former Manchester City striker).
  
  22:19James Pearce
  
  Unprofessional
  
  No idea what that went that last lot for, got distracted as I’ve been shifted from back stage to the broom cupboard.
  
  22:19Ian Doyle
  
  Almost there
  
  We are getting very close to finding out the big winners tonight.
  
  We still have the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Goal of the Season and, of course, the Player of the Season.
  
  The tension is bearable.
  
  22:15James Pearce
  
  The never-ending auction
  
  Lot 4, a mascot experience for a child at an LFC home game next season.
  
  22:14Ian Doyle
  
  Oh hey
  
  A big hello to everyone who has been joining us from the Mirror website.
  
  For all your very best Liverpool information, make sure you check out both the Liverpool ECHO website and the Mirror website, and buy both newspapers.
  
  I should be on commission, seriously...
  
  22:12James Pearce
  
  Lot 3
  
  Now it’s a behind the scenes tour of Melwood, watching the first team train and then having a photo opportunity with them.
  
  That’s put another £3,500 in the coffers.
  
  22:11James Pearce
  
  James outbid again
  
  That’s gone for £6,000. At this rate LFC will have enough to buy Virgil van Dijk (this is a joke).
  
  This is of course all about raising funds for the LFC Foundation.
  
  22:09James Pearce
  
  Auction goes on...
  
  Lot 2, a training session for two people with Henderson and Lallana at Melwood.
  
  22:07James Pearce
  
  Bad night for Jay
  
  It’s gone for £8,000.
  
  Needless to say, I didn’t win.
  
  22:06James Pearce
  
  It goes on...
  
  Make that 6k. We’re still going.
  
  22:04James Pearce
  
  We're not making this up
  
  Right, now it’s the auction.
  
  Item 1: a meal out at Fazenda in town with Lucas, Coutinho & Firmino plus 4 of your choice.
  
  My initial bid of £25.80 has been blown away.
  
  We’re now on £3,000.
  
  22:02Ian Doyle
  
  All smiles
  
  Now here are some bona fide Liverpool legends.
  
  David Fairclough, Phil Thompson, Ian Callaghan, Phil Neal ex players of Liverpool with Steven Gerrard after winning the Outstanding Team Achievement Award during the Liverpool FC Player Awards at Anfield

  Difficult times for Jay
  
  Another break for dessert, which I’m delighted to say did also reach back stage.
  
  Some kind of sponge with pistachio ice cream. A solid 7.5 out of 10.
  
  There is actually a spare but I’m trying to avoid temptation.
  
  21:48Ian Doyle
  
  Meanwhile
  
  Juventus beat Monaco 2-1, so that’s a 4-1 aggregate win.
  
  At the moment the final whistle went to confirm Juve in the Champions League final, their bitter Italian rivals Inter Milan announced they’d sacked their manager.
  
  Talk about trying to bury bad news...
  
  21:47Ian Doyle
  
  Meanwhile
  
  The mutual appreciation society has some new members!
  
  21:46Ian Doyle
  
  Casual Klopp
  
  Hands out of your pockets, Jurgen.
  
  A Liverpool employee talks to another Liverpool employee at a Liverpool function
  
  21:39Ian Doyle
  
  Klopp hug Klaxon
  
  There’s no way he was going to get through the entire night without embracing someone!
