Liverpool suffers third consecutive defeat: a new setback for the Merseyside team
For the fifth time in the modern history of Liverpool Football Club, the team has experienced a streak of three consecutive losses across all competitions.
This unfortunate series continued after a highly intense match in the 7th round of the English Premier League, where Merseyside faced London’s Chelsea.
The game was full of drama and ended with Chelsea securing a 2-1 victory.
As early as the 14th minute, Chelsea took the lead thanks to a brilliant long-range shot by Caicedo.
Liverpool responded quickly, equalizing in the 63rd minute when Gakpo scored from close range after a cross.
However, the decisive moment came in stoppage time, when Chelsea launched a series of efforts and, after several missed chances, Estévan scored with a shot into the far post, sealing their victory.
The final score was Chelsea 2, Liverpool 1.
This was the third defeat in a row for Liverpool this season after previous losses to Crystal Palace (1-2) in the Premier League and Galatasaray (0-1) in the Champions League.
These results mark a significant crisis for Jürgen Klopp since his departure and the appointment of new coach Arne Slot last summer.
The same difficult period was experienced last spring, when Liverpool lost matches against Bournemouth, Real Madrid, and Manchester City under Klopp’s management.
Experts and fans are considering a tactical reset and potential roster strengthening to restore Liverpool’s competitive edge.
Additionally, recent news about Ukrainian forward Vanya scoring a spectacular goal for Girona, and club initiatives to support families of fallen players, highlight broader themes in football realities.
It was also announced that Liverpool paid the remaining compensation to the family of the late Diógo Jota, reflecting the club’s commitment to honoring its players and their families.
