The Reds, aware that their situation was becoming increasingly challenging, made an impressive start in the first 7 minutes. A handball by the Bergamo Player resulted in a penalty, which Mo Salah successfully converted, giving fans hope for a historic comeback.
However, Mo Salah missed a golden opportunity to further narrow the deficit after a sublime pass from Cody Gakpo.
Liverpool’s manager motivated the team, drawing parallels to their 2019 performance against Barcelona. Unfortunately, despite some compelling play driven by Trent Alexander Arnold, they managed only one goal, insufficient to erase the opponent’s lead.
Liverpool’s recent poor performances have begun to haunt them. Klopp’s frustration was evident as they squandered the contest at Anfield last week.
Reflecting on the situation, Klopp acknowledged, “We set ourselves a massive hurdle,” while expressing determination to give their all in pursuit of Premier League glory.
In a month filled with setbacks, Liverpool crashed out of the FA Cup against rivals Manchester United, fell behind in the title race to Manchester City, and exited European competition against Serie A’s sixth-placed side. Klopp’s dream farewell now hangs by a thread.
