And yet the current Liverpool is not lame in both legs. Obviously, Jurgen Klopp’s team will not be able to defend their championship title in the Premier League. But Liverpool without the Champions League, or even without European cups, are practically incompatible concepts. However, such an alignment is quite possible. After twenty-eight games played in the championship, the Reds are only eighth, two points behind the seventh. At the same time, the closest neighbors in the ranking have a match in stock. Up to fourth position and seven points in total.
To qualify for the Champions League next season, Liverpool need to win the tournament’s current campaign. Fortunately for the team’s fans, things are going pretty well here for the Merseysides.
Almost a month ago, in the same stadium, Jurgen Klopp’s team made a serious claim for success in a two-legged match. Also, the result of the entire fight was made at the beginning of the second half. In the 53rd minute, Mohamed Salah took advantage of a serious mistake made by RB Leipzig, and 6 minutes later Sadio Mane converted a one-on-one 2: 0 start.
Before the return match, the “bulls” had to show not only their maximum, but also win the favor of fortune. However, Julian Nagelsman did not speak for a long time that he expected a miracle, but simply stated that the situation was clear to everyone, the mistakes made in the first meeting were seriously worked on. But he noted that he would very much like to score first and as quickly as possible.
The bull trainer’s wishes did not come true. On the contrary, it was Liverpool who grabbed the ball from the start of the game and kept the rival away from their goal with a lot of pressure. And he himself did not forget to attack. Moments in Gulachi’s possessions appeared quite frequently. And often the Leipzig players themselves created tension in their goal. The Germans’ goalkeeper saved the team several times, in particular the moment when Tiago beautifully conceded the play to Salah and Mo went head-to-head with the Hungarian. “Leipzig” responded with his attack, which ended with a slightly inaccurate left hand from Forsberg – it was very close.
After the break, Liverpool continued to double their line, but still missed the dangerous attacks from the guests. In one of them, after a pass from Hvan, Serlot hit the crossbar.
Well, in the 70th minute we saw a goal. Zhota passed Salah, the Egyptian entered the penalty area and beat Gulachi – 1: 0! Less than five minutes later, the score was already in double digits. Beautiful perepasovka “red”, the cross of Origi, who has just come out in the substitute, and Mane hit the ball in the goal – 2: 0 and already 4: 0 on aggregate!
Well then “Leipzig” just wilted. And Nagelsmann, apparently, no longer believed that after this, something could already be changed. The miracle did not happen. Except for the fact that the game ended without any yellow cards. As they say, you also need to be able to lose with dignity. And Leipzig definitely has it …
