Manchester United down Chelsea and clear Champions League – Liverpool’s hopes have been blown

Team manager Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool must bury their remaining hope of reaching the Champions League. Since Manchester United won the catch-up match in Round 32 against Chelsea 4-1 (2-0) on Thursday, the Reds have no chance of climbing into the top four of the Premier League. Fifth in the table, Liverpool will compete in the Europa League.

“Totally shattered,” Mohamed Salah said on Instagram on Thursday evening. “There is absolutely no excuse. We had everything we needed to get to the Champions League next year and we failed. We are Liverpool and qualifying for the tournament is just one thing.” minimum. I’m sorry, but it’s too early for any encouragement or optimism. We have failed you and ourselves.”

As the season approaches Sunday, Klopp and Liverpool (66 points) are four points behind Newcastle United in fourth place. Manchester United (72 points) jumped to third place after defeating Chelsea.

Casemiro (sixth), Anthony Martial (45 + 6), Bruno Fernandes (73, penalty) and Marcus Rashford (78) ensured the Red Devils participation in the first division with their goals, Joao Felix (89) scored for Chelsea. League champions Manchester City and runners-up Arsenal also qualified.

After a very mixed season with bitter defeats, Liverpool have recently been able to quietly dream of the Champions League again. In the past ten league matches, Klopp’s side have remained unbeaten with seven wins. Finally, Liverpool travel to downhill Southampton on Sunday.
