Liverpool’s flight delay adds fuel to their fire

Liverpool’s trip to Frankfurt took an unexpected four-hour pit stop thanks to aircraft issues, forcing Arne Slot to cancel his press conference. The Reds, on a four-match losing skid, hope to finally take off in the Champions League—because right now, even gravity seems against them.

Slot insists the delay won’t derail preparations and refuses to offer excuses. With Frankfurt’s defence leaking goals, Liverpool’s stars could find the lift they need to end their run. A win hasn’t felt this vital since 1953—takeoff pending, captain Slot ready.
