Reds facing uphill task in Istanbul again
Liverpool went behind in Istanbul as Victor Osimhen converted a first-half penalty after Dominik Szoboszlai’s trailing arm caught Baris Alper Yilmaz. Referee Clement Turpin quickly pointed to the spot, with Mark Clattenburg calling it a “simple decision.”
Arne Slot surprised many by benching Mohamed Salah, instead starting Jeremie Frimpong. Salah might still be Liverpool’s saviour — because let’s face it, the Reds chasing a game without him is like ordering a kebab without bread: technically possible, but why would you?
