Liverpool FC scored an important triple in the battle for the Champions League. At Wolverhampton Wanderers, Klopp’s team was a goal. However, the victory was overshadowed by a crash shortly before the final whistle.
Klopp’s Liverpool has achieved an important victory in the battle for the Champions League. The Reds won 1-0 (1-0) at Wolverhampton Wanderers and are just five points behind fourth place. Diogo Jota scored the goal of the day in injury time of the first half (45º + 2).
Victoria overshadowed by a long pause in treatment
However, the success of Klopp’s team was overshadowed by a scene shortly before the final whistle. Wolverhampton goalkeeper Rui Patricio faced his own man in the 86th minute and had to be treated for more than 15 minutes. After the treatment was interrupted, he was transferred from the plaza on a stretcher.
Wolverhampton coach Nuno Espiríto Santo commented on the goalkeeper’s health after the match. Patrick suffered a concussion. “We just got an update and it’s fine,” Nuno is quoted in a club statement. “He is fully conscious and knows what happened.” You’ve already talked to Patricio.
“In all these situations, when it comes to a concussion and head, we are all concerned. But he is fine, he will recover,” Santo continued. A doctor has also confirmed that you can get back on your feet with proper precautions.
The club had reported on the final whistle via Twitter with a photo of Patricio – to which several fans reacted and wished the goalkeeper a speedy recovery.
The 33-year-old has been under contract with the Wolves since the summer of 2018, and in 2016 he won the European Championship with Portugal in France.
Despite the shocking scene towards the end of the game, Jürgen Klopp and his team should be relieved. With the victory, Liverpool temporarily jump to sixth place, but are still five points behind Thomas Tuchel’s FC Chelsea and thus qualify for the Champions League first place. The “Blues” did not go beyond a goalless draw at Leeds United on Saturday.
