Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp unveils a unique request made to Mohamed Salah, a demand unlike any he has ever made of a player.
I told him not to defend any more – I never told a player that before. Mo is just delivering and delivering and delivering, his desire doesn’t stop, his quality is there and his desire to score doesn’t stop
Despite Veljko Birmancevic clawing one back for the visitors before halftime, Liverpool’s dominance was further solidified with a fifth goal from Dominik Szoboszlai and a crafty second from Gakpo, sealing an 11-2 aggregate triumph.
This comprehensive victory not only sends Liverpool sailing into the quarter-finals but also highlights their formidable presence in European competition this season. The Reds, now firmly in contention for the Europa League title, demonstrate a relentless pursuit of glory across all fronts.
