Klopp-Elf sweeps Arsenal off the pitch
Liverpool shoot warm for Real Madrid
Liverpool FC celebrates a successful dress rehearsal before the Champions League hit against Real Madrid. In the league, Jürgen Klopp’s team managed a convincing victory against FC Arsenal. In the table, the Reds move closer to Tuchel’s Chelsea on two points.
The English soccer champions FC Liverpool had an important success in the race for the Champions League places. The team of coach Jürgen Klopp won in the evening at Arsenal FC well deserved with 3-0 (0-0) and moved up to two points on the current table fourth Chelsea FC. However, three teams could overtake the Reds in the course of the game day.
Before the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League against Real Madrid on Tuesday, substitute Diogo Jota (64th / 82nd minute) and Mohamed Salah (68th) ensured a successful dress rehearsal. It was the 93rd goal for Salah in his 150th Premier League game. Only four players have a better record in league history.
In the Emirates Stadium in London, the Klopp-Elf was completely superior. But especially in the first half against the weak Gunners, Liverpool struggled – as is so often the case this season – at goal completion. Roberto Firmino, Fabinho and Sadio Mané, among others, awarded promising positions to the master.
With 49 points, Liverpool finished fifth in the table on Saturday evening. However, Tottenham Hotspur could oust the Reds from fifth with a win at Newcastle United on Sunday. Everton FC could also overtake Crystal Palace on Monday with a success. West Ham United would do with a draw in Wolverhampton.
