In a stunning display of tactical dominance, reigning champions Real Madrid made short work of Liverpool in their second-leg clash in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. The Spanish giants outclassed the Reds in almost every department, putting three goals past Alisson Becker and booking a semi-final spot. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was gracious in defeat, admitting that the better team had progressed. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the encounter and analyze what went wrong for Liverpool.

Liverpool’s hopes of a Champions League miracle were dashed when Real Madrid sent them crashing out with a 6-2 aggregate result in the last 16. Despite a 2-0 lead early in the first leg at Anfield, Liverpool faltered and were beaten 5-2. The second leg in Madrid was no easier, with Liverpool losing 1-0 thanks to a Karim Benzema goal. Following the defeat, Liverpool were left with only the Premier League to focus on, with the team needing to secure a top-four finish to play in next season’s Champions League. Jurgen Klopp credited Madrid, admitting they were the “better team” over both legs. The team gave it their all but couldn’t find the special performance needed to secure a miraculous comeback. Klopp admitted that if Liverpool played the same way in the first leg at home, they would have gone out as well, underlining how consistent Madrid were throughout the knockout stages. Former Blackburn Rovers striker Chris Sutton said Liverpool’s inconsistent form made it imperative that they focus on securing a top-four spot. As it stands, Brighton trails Tottenham by six points with two games in hand with Liverpool currently chasing both Newcastle United and Antonio Conte’s Tottenham.

In the end, Liverpool was no match for Real Madrid. But despite the disappointment, there is no denying that Klopp’s team put up a good fight. The German manager may insist that the better team went through, but the fact remains that Madrid played exceptionally well on the night, proving once again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League. For Liverpool fans, it is a bitter pill to swallow, but there is always next season, and under Klopp’s guidance, there is no doubt that the team will come back stronger and ready to fight for the elusive European crown once more. Until then, we can only applaud the efforts of both teams and look forward to what promises to be a thrilling conclusion to this year’s Champions League.

Klopp: Now I think that everything is already decided in the Liverpool-Real pair – Football, Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Champions League – Spoil

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp commented on the result of yesterday’s Champions League match against Real Madrid (2:5).

“I think everything is more than obvious. I liked the beginning of the game, and the first half, with the exception of two goals conceded, was probably the best we have had this season.

In the second conceded moment, we couldn’t have defended better, it was pure farce, very similar to how we scored the second goal, okay. But in the first conceded situation, we should have defended better. The break went in a positive way, we had a good talk. We understood what had happened and knew what to do next.

But the second half began with the third missed goal, which was decisive, in my opinion. Terrible goal, it changed the course of the game, we lost momentum and never got it back. In the first half we could have scored more, we had chances, but in the second half the game was dictated by Real Madrid and they scored two more goals. We lost the ball at inopportune moments, which is obviously a big problem against Real Madrid with their counter-attacking potential, and this led to this result. That’s all.

I think Ancelotti thinks everything is already decided. And I’m thinking the same thing right now, but in three weeks… The closer to the second leg, the more your chances increase and the less likely it is that it’s all over. We will need to score three goals in Madrid, which means we will have to take risks. In fact, I don’t even think about it right now. We will go there, I can say it now, and we will try to win. Whether it will work or not, I don’t know, but we’ll try to do it, and then we’ll see.”

Sacrifice for the team? Salah may leave his position in Liverpool for his favorite colleague!

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 18, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Salah may have to accept a new role in Liverpool to completely change the position of the team.

The Egyptian Mohamed Salah, the star of the English club Liverpool, has a close relationship with Harvey Elliott, the young “Reds” star who arrived at the club in July 2019, as he gives him advice permanently, but it seems that the captain of the Egyptian national team may have to sacrifice his position on the right wing for the sake of the young player. .

The English newspaper “Liverpool Echo” shed light on Elliott’s brilliance in the right wing position, during Liverpool’s match against Wolverhampton, in the third-round replay of the FA Cup, in which the young player scored the winning goal for the “Reds” in it.

Salah was on the bench against Wolverhampton, while Elliott occupied the right wing position instead of his usual position in the middle of the field, and gave his best performance since his arrival in Liverpool.

Elliott’s performance against Wolverhampton was a reminder of his outstanding abilities, and this may affect Salah, who is currently the number one star at Anfield.

The newspaper shed light on Salah’s presence in the position of the outspoken striker during the recent matches, starting with the horrific defeat against Brighton by 3 goals in the last round of the English Premier League, and then when he entered the Wolverhampton match from the bench on Tuesday evening.

The constant change of the front line in Liverpool during the current season did not help Salah show his best, as rival clubs found it easy to control the “Egyptian King”.

But whenever Salah suffered, Klopp would put him close to the goal, in an attempt to increase his influence, and it seemed that this might be repeated by moving Salah to the position of the outright striker permanently, and relying on Harvey Elliott in the right wing position.

Klopp demands a return to basics

Liverpool (Reuters)
Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp urged his team to get back to basics, as they prepare to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday, in the FA Cup third round replay, after a humiliating 3-0 loss in the English Premier League against Brighton.
Cup holders Liverpool drew 2-2 at home against Wolverhampton earlier this month, after Hwang Hee-chan scored the equalizer in the 66th minute, and were lucky to get away with this draw after the referee canceled a late goal for Wolverhampton due to offside.
And if Liverpool beat Wolverhampton, they will face Brighton again, who scored three goals against the Merseyside team in both league matches this season and dominated from the start in the victory on Saturday.
“Football’s problems are solved by football’s mechanics,” Klopp told reporters on Monday. “The team should have played better against Brighton. The match shouldn’t have been so difficult.”
“We have to play aggressively, close the spaces and put pressure on the opposition. We have to defend better. In many moments the spaces are too big and we have to defend hard. We have to go back to basics, that’s what we have to do”.
Klopp said Liverpool would put together the strongest squad possible against Wolverhampton.
He added: “Wolverhampton is going through a good period, and is playing well at home. He won the match at the weekend 1-0 at home against West Ham United. It will be a difficult confrontation.
“Not all the players who played the last game are ready for various reasons and we will make changes. We want to win the game.
“I can say to the players who lost at Brighton, you put us in this situation. Let’s see how we get out of it.. I will make decisions and we will make changes, it makes sense.”
The German coach, who previously indicated that Liverpool were unlikely to sign more players in the January transfer window, said his team was not weak.
He added, “We are also looking at the matter in the transfer market. The club is not stubborn and does not think of keeping the current squad until 2060.”
“If the solutions are there, doable and available, of course we will buy players. We have a squad that is under-performing but I can’t blame anyone else. I have to take responsibility. That’s my responsibility.
“Our squad is not small. Of course we have to strengthen the squad but is this the right time to do it? I can’t judge very well because of the situation we are in now”.
