Liverpool

Some season ticket holders made the ultimate sacrifice for the Premier League match and watched it from the pub.

He never raised the Premier League trophy as Liverpool captain, but as Aston Villa’s manager had the chance on Sunday to help his old club to victory by beating Manchester City. “If they beat City and we win, we win the league. Their victory in the end is the difference between being able to pay £30m and £80m for a player.” They became champions for the fourth time in five seasons and Liverpool’s title dream was over. A fan for 60 years, he remembered his own father bringing him to games and watching matches from the “boys’ pen”, a small enclosure for children. “I’m absolutely distraught,” said Alexander Pritchard, who had driven up with his girlfriend from Bargoed in the Welsh valleys without tickets: “At the end of the day, we have got to give City credit. She had given her 16-year-old son, Dylan, her ticket, and was left jostling for position with vaping 12-year-olds and a bunch of Egyptian tourists who were beside themselves when Mo Salah scored in the 84th minute.

The Liverpool manager saw his side fall short by a point despite beating Wolves, days before their Champions League final against Real Madrid.

We were close but in the end not close enough.” It’s not cool, but it’s not completely unexpected. We now have five days to prepare the final and we face an incredibly experienced team, but that’s really OK. Losing the league today increases the desire to put it right next week.” Not today the maximum reward, but we will get it. What I learned about life is that if you stay on track and keep going, you get the reward. Klopp insisted his treble chasers would turn their Premier League deflation into a motivation when meeting the Spanish champions in Paris on Saturday. The Liverpool manager said: “I can imagine it was much worse for the people at home watching on TV all over the world who were Liverpool fans.

Manchester City staged a sensational late fightback from 2-0 down to lift the trophy and condemn Liverpool to second place.

Coutinho kept his cool and found the bottom corner. Oleksandr Zinchenko took his place and the back line was reshaped. Cash, running in from the opposite side, met it with a firm header that Ederson could not keep out.

The Good, Bad and Ugly: Liverpool made Jürgen Klopp proud once again with a battling Wolves win after an Ibrahima Konaté error, but it wasn't quite enough.

The cruelty of the comeback was made somewhat more bearable by the fact that it had been completed before Liverpool had managed to establish a lead of their own. It’s never exactly the ideal opening to a game, but given the circumstances, it was shocking. For a long time, it looked as though Manchester City would slip up, only for Liverpool to fail to capitalise. As such, going behind within a matter of minutes was the definition of a bad start. Who knows if that information would even have reached the pitch at the Etihad? It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but Klopp will know that his team have done him proud. Winning it would have been almost literally unbelievable, but becoming champions of Europe next weekend would crown the best campaign in living memory — and certainly the best under Klopp.

City's 15 mins of madness seals Premier League title as relegation battle ends in last-gasp chaos.

To get a place in the Champions League means we did something excellent.” “It was not easy because in England the league is very difficult. I don’t know the results exactly but I know Villa were 1-0 up – were they 2-0 up as well? These are the days you look back to, it was an unbelievable game.” We wanted it all, but now it’s OK. “Finishing second is the story of my life. “We are human beings and after going 2-0 down the chances were just very, very small.

Joe Gomez has been sidelined since picking up an ankle injury in Liverpool's win over Southampton.

The news will be welcomed at Anfield as they look ahead to the Champions League final with a number of key fitness issues. Liverpool were keen to seek out a second scan after an initial one reported good news for the defender and Gomez is now hopeful of a place in the squad at the Stade de France on Saturday evening. It's understood that the 24-year-old is targeting a return to full training before the Reds head out to the French capital next week and the defender was spotted walking freely in the aftermath of Liverpool's 3-1 win at home to Wolves on Sunday.

When votes were cast for the Premier League Player of the Season award, Salah remained the division's top scorer and creator, despite the 'decline'. And yet, ...

It’s also worth noting that De Bruyne was Premier League Player of the Season in 2019/20 despite Liverpool’s glaring supremacy, while Foden has now won Young Player of the Season back-to-back. Only twice in Premier League history has a player led both tables outright — Andy Cole in 1993/94 and Harry Kane in 2020/21. It seems that recency bias has played a large part in De Bruyne’s success. Salah’s goal in the 2-2 draw against Chelsea on 2 January took him to 23 for the season, in addition to his 10 assists. Better than Salah? It’s important to stress the rarity of a player topping both the goals and assists charts. Midway through the current campaign, he looked like he might just be able to challenge those numbers.

In the 85th minute at Anfield, it appears somebody started a false rumour that Steven Gerrard's side had made it 3-3 and the Reds were bound for glory.

It came just seconds after Salah thought he'd scored the goal to win Liverpool the league title, only for a fan in the crowd to inform him that City were 3-2 up. It all ended up in frustration for the Liverpool fans as City snatched the Premier League title Celebrating Liverpool fans thought they'd won the Premier League title after a FALSE RUMOUR spread around Anfield that Aston Villa had made it 3-3 at Manchester City... with Takumi Minamino urging them to calm down and Virgil van Dijk looking furious!

Liverpool just came up short as Man City won the Premier League title again. But for Jurgen Klopp's men it's all about the what-ifs.

It is Liverpool's misfortune to be enjoying their peak years under Klopp at the same time City are collecting trophies under Guardiola. Over the last four years, Liverpool have won one title and finished runners-up behind City twice -- with 92 points this season and 97 in 2018-19. "There are worse scenarios -- we could have been a point ahead [on the final day] and not made it -- but we don't feel good. "I would have preferred they [City] were 5-0 up after 10 minutes so we could just play out game, but the season was close, so close. By the time Mohamed Salah managed to put Liverpool ahead on 84 minutes, City had already turned defeat into victory by scoring three times in five minutes through Gundogan (twice) and Rodri. It was the same story at home to Brighton in October, when 2-0 became 2-2, that time after being two goals clear after 24 minutes. LIVERPOOL, England -- There are always what-ifs when a team gets so close to glory.

The former Liverpool and Real Madrid coach talks UEFA.com through the 2022 final contenders, Istanbul memories and how to prepare for a UEFA Champions ...

"Prepping a league campaign is a game-to-game scenario but you can't lose focus of what’s on the horizon. Your line-up, your set-ups, your gameplan and your substitutions all have to be correct. In general terms, you try and keep everything the same or as similar as you can, so that the players can keep their routines. "Istanbul was unforgettable because, after a long absence, Liverpool returned to the most important club competition final. That is a genuine winning mentality and it takes years to develop. "I spent years at the Real Madrid academy as a player and a coach, and you get used to winning.

The Egyptian was left devastated after Manchester City's comeback denied the Reds the Premier League title on a dramatic final day.

Salah struck in front of the Kop, his 23rd league goal of the campaign, and Klopp’s side led for the first time all day. Their only dropped points have come in draws away to Chelsea and Manchester City and at home to Tottenham; in other words, tight games against the teams directly above and below them in the table. Games against Brentford and Brighton stand out in that regard, and Klopp will certainly wish his side had held on when leading Manchester City at Anfield with nine minutes to go back in October. It deserves that support, that pride and that party. They believed for much of the afternoon, and they were given plenty of reason to as well. Liverpool, you sensed, knew it was gone, and yet still they summoned the strength to make it interesting. The kind of blitz which wins you a league title. The kind of blitz which leaves you dizzy. Hairs on the back of the neck stuff. They stayed behind long after the final whistle to salute their heroes, and rightly so. Good for Salah of course, although the award - his third in five seasons on Merseyside - will feel like scant consolation right now. The next goal.

Just hours after being pipped for the Premier League title by Manchester City, Liverpool have signed forward Fabio Carvalho from Fulham.

"The 19-year-old forward will officially complete a switch to the Reds on July 1." "Liverpool FC can confirm Fabio Carvalho will join the club this summer," the club said in a statement. Liverpool have finally completed the signing of Fulham forward Fabio Carvalho, having failed in a bid to bring the teenager to Anfield in January.

Alisson Becker was speaking after Liverpool were beaten to the Premier League title by Man City.

“We got the win and the points, but it wasn’t enough. He recorded 20 clean sheets in 36 appearances for the Reds this season to earn the trophy alongside City No.1 and Brazil international team-mate Ederson. We were really focused on doing our job.

Daniel Storey reflects on the campaign just gone and looks at the challenges ahead as part of The Score's season reviews for all 20 Premier League clubs.

The biggest moment of Liverpool’s season didn’t come on the pitch and would surely only be surpassed by winning the Champions League final in Paris. On 29 April, Liverpool announced that Klopp had signed a two-year extension to his contract. And remarkable too that it wasn’t enough to give them a shot at the quadruple. Klopp’s side were involved in five 2-2 draws, a 3-3 draw and a 3-2 defeat in the league this season. They were brilliant and they were brilliant to watch. To an extent chaos defines Klopp’s success – “heavy metal football” and all that – and suits the team: a front three of bangs and whistles, a high defensive line and two gloriously attacking full-backs. Liverpool are unfortunate to have peaked at the same time as Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Even if you consider that these two clubs and managers propel each other on, Liverpool would be more triumphant if Guardiola wasn’t here.

A Liverpool statement said: “Liverpool FC can confirm Fábio Carvalho will join the club this summer. Carvalho came through the academy ranks at Fulham and went on to make 44 senior appearances in total for the London club.” “Carvalho played a key role in Fulham’s promotion back to the Premier League in 2021-22, scoring 10 goals and providing eight assists in 36 games as Marco Silva’s side won the Championship title.

Liverpool have announced the signing of Fabio Carvalho from Fulham, with the player set to join on July 1.

Liverpool finished second in the Premier League, behind champions Manchester City. They have already won the League Cup and FA Cup this season, and will face Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday. Carvalho, 19, will join Liverpool for a reported fee of £5 million when his contract with Fulham ends in June. The winger is not available on a free due to his age, so the two clubs have reached a compromise to the prevent the deal from going to a transfer tribunal. Liverpool have announced the signing of Fabio Carvalho from Fulham, with the player set to join on July 1.

Tanya Hanley placed a £100 ($125) bet on Liverpool to win an unprecedented Quadruple a week before the season began at odds of 3671/1.

With a £367,100 jackpot on the line, Hanley didn't cash out. Alas, her optimism was not repaid. Meanwhile, Liverpool were level-pegging at 1-1 with Wolves and needed just one more goal to leapfrog their rivals into top spot. "I just had a feeling that Liverpool could do it and that something big was going to happen," she said. Then came the moment. Betfair then saw fit to boost Hanley's quadruple cash-out offer up to £35,000 ($44,000) on the morning of the match and even gave her the option of a partial cash-out deal that would see her bag £25,000 ($31,400) up front and a further £100,000 ($125,700) if the Reds went on to win the Premier League and the Champions League. Such was Hanley's faith in her side that both offers were rejected.

Liverpool are sweating on the fitness of midfielder Thiago Alcantara, who was forced off late in the first half with an injury which makes him a doubt to face Real Madrid in Paris. "The 19-year-old forward will officially complete a switch to the Reds on July 1." Liverpool have finally completed the signing of Fulham forward Fabio Carvalho, having failed in a bid to bring the teenager to Anfield in January.

ECHO columnist John Aldridge looks back on the final day of the Premier League season and how Thiago Alcantara's injury is a worry for Liverpool.

To lose both Thiago and Fabinho out of the midfield, they are very big spaces to fill. If you look at the past and some of the results - Brighton at home we were 2-0 up, Brentford away - particularly those two games. He’s arguably been the club’s best player. If it wasn’t for Liverpool, Man City would win it every year by Christmas. We’ve won it once, but we’ve been pipped twice and it’s really hard to take. To come so close to winning a quadruple, we nearly got it, but it just wasn’t to be.

Liverpool Star To Miss Champions League Final Against Real Madrid After winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, Liverpool now look forward to the Champions League final against Los Blancos on Saturday. After the disappointment of just missing out on the Premier League title, Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is clearly in a determined mood heading into the Champions League final against Real Madrid at the weekend.

Liverpool are willing to give Thiago Alcantara every chance of being fit in time for Champions League final against Real Madrid on Saturday.

Thiago has suffered final heartbreak once already this season having been injured during the warm-up ahead of the League Cup win over Chelsea at Wembley in February after being named in the starting line-up. With Fabinho also facing a race against time to be fit for Paris having missed the last three games with a hamstring complaint, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp faces a potential midfield headache. Thiago will now undergo intensive treatment at the AXA Training Centre before a decision is made on whether he will be part of the playing squad that travels to France at the end of the week.

Ex-Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves claims Mohamed Salah has been 'astonishing' for the Reds.
