This was the sixth defeat for Liverpool in the last seven games, considering all competitions.

“What is true is that losing six out of seven games is not up to the standards of this club,” admitted the Dutch coach.

In the English Championship, the 'Reds' lost in the last four rounds and next Saturday they host Aston Villa, again at Anfield, with no room for error.

In Wednesday's game, coach Arne Slot made changes to the team and fielded several reserves, resting players like Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil Van Dijk.

“We had a game tonight and then only two days of rest before the next one [against Villa]. Two more days of rest and we will play against Real Madrid. A few more days and then we will play against Manchester City. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but with the squad we have, this was the decision I made,” said Slot after the defeat.
