Wembley next to Liverpool
Liverpool has to jump back quickly if you are supposed to claim your first cutlery this season this season, as your next game on Sunday is coming against Newcastle in the EFL Cup final in Wembley.

“It is part of football. I said to the boys, of course you can be disappointed because we are not in competition, but Kinning and make up for the next challenge, a nice weekend. “

Liverpool improves, but still not enough
Liverpool drove her luck last week to secure a 1-0 win at the Princes Parc last week. Goalkeeper Alisson scored a number of good parades before Harvey hit Elliott too late.
They were much better tonight, although PSG had the bigger threat in the course of the game.
“I think we were pretty good today and you want to go as far as possible, but we knew when we drew PSG, it would be very difficult,” added van Dijk.
“We saw (that) in Paris when we had problems, but we won and today we saw a very good side in Liverpool, but we are not in competition.
“When the tiredness for both sides begins, it becomes more open, but particularly regular, we have shown a very good game. We have been able to talk about the game for ages, but we are not in competition, that’s the reality. “
