Liverpool flew home from Madrid on Sunday morning with a very valuable piece of hand luggage.
There were unsurprisingly smiles all round as the players and staff checked out of the Eurostars Madrid Tower Hotel the morning after their Champions League triumph over Tottenham Hotspur.
Captain Jordan Henderson sported sunglasses as he carried the famous trophy onto the team coach as they prepared to fly back to Merseyside for a victory parade on Sunday afternoon.
Manager Jurgen Klopp stopped to give a few interviews to the gathered media as the club celebrated the sixth European Cup victory in their history.
Mohamed Salah's second-minute penalty and Divock Origi's late second handed them a 2-0 win over their Premier League rivals at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano stadium.
Some of the Liverpool party could be forgiven for being a little bleary-eyed as their celebrations continued well into the night in the Spanish capital.
And the same could certainly be said of the estimated 50,000 Liverpool supporters who'd descended on Madrid for the occasion.
It was only right that Henderson should be the one taking the trophy on board their flight home after Klopp singled him and James Milner out for special praise post-match.
Klopp felt putting a trophy in the cabinet was vindication for them and his faith in them.
'I'm happy for the boys. You know what people said about a couple of players of this team,' he added.
'Jordan Henderson is captain of the Champions League winner 2019 - that's satisfying actually. And that Millie did it at the age of 33.
'They are all very important. Without Millie's dressing-room talks before the game - with a non-native manager - I think it would not be possible. It's so important.
'All the things they did during the weeks, how they lifted when we had little downs, it's just incredible.
'It is really emotional, that's my main feeling, it's overwhelming.'
Their season concluded on a high note, Liverpool have the chance to celebrate all over again on Sunday afternoon with a victory parade scheduled for 4pm on Sunday afternoon.
The city council revealed details of the parade route, with tens of thousands of fans who weren't lucky enough to be in Madrid expected to welcome the victorious team home.
