That opportunity for Mohamed Salah after an innovative ball over the head of Thiago Alcantara. That attempt by Sadio Mane to head off the rebound.
That Trent Alexander-Arnold moment where he decided to cross into a crowded six-yard box instead of shooting. I could go on.
It was a Liverpool clearly lacking in confidence in the face of goal. That’s something Jurgen Klopp is desperate to rediscover on his side.
The Alexander-Arnold of yesteryear buries that ball in the far corner. The mane of the last two seasons is not upset with just RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi to beat.
At halftime, the fear was that Liverpool would live to regret all those missed opportunities. An opening goal for Leipzig was always going to create panic in Klopp’s players.
But the important thing is that Liverpool is over. This is precisely what they needed, given that winning the Champions League quickly resembles their best bet of returning to this competition next season.
Liverpool’s defense has come under great scrutiny this season, but with Nathaniel Phillips and Ozan Kabak at the back, they did their job and protected that 2-0 lead in the first leg. It was a professional performance in that sense.
If they could have found their shooting boots it would have been a lot more comfortable.
