Liverpool lost heavily to PSV in the Champions League

Liverpool entered the match determined to win, but what fans witnessed was a lackluster performance, full of individual mistakes and sharpness that almost disappeared from the attack.

In the 5th minute, Virgil van Dijk let the ball touch his hand in the penalty area, giving Ivan Perisic an easy chance to score from the penalty spot, opening up an early shock for the away team.

Although Dominik Szoboszlai quickly brought the match back to balance in the 16th minute with a chance kick after the ball bounced out, the game was almost entirely up to PSV.

Liverpool tried to find more goals but Gakpo headed the ball over the bar, Szoboszlai was blocked while Mohamed Salah was almost missing for the first 45 minutes.

At the beginning of the second half, the chaos continued to surround the home team. In the 56th minute, Guus Til rotated his shot neatly, raising the score to 2-1 for PSV against Liverpool's defense that was almost at a standstill.

The Kop's attacking efforts were meaningless when in the 73rd minute, Couhaib Driouech appeared at the right time to kick the rebound, raising the score to 3-1. The PSV winger ended the day brilliantly with a delicate chip in the 90+1 minute, sealing a heavy 1-4 defeat for Liverpool.

Salah was almost quiet throughout the match, failing to create any dangerous chances or notable shots. Liverpool's defense kept making mistakes, Van Dijk was easily overtaken, and Mamardashvili had to operate overloaded to save the danger. Liverpool's rare notable mark was Van Dijk's header in the 32nd minute.

This defeat shows that Liverpool are having serious problems with focus and ability to impose on the match. At the same time, it also raises a big question mark about their mettle in the Champions League this season.
