With this win, Liverpool has progressed to the quarterfinals
of the Champions League. Liverpool defeated RB Leipzig 4-0 on aggregate as
earlier, Jurgen Klopp's side had outclassed their opponent 2-0 in the first-leg
fixture as well.
The first half of the match between Liverpool and Leipzig
saw no goals and the honours were even at half-time. However, Klopp's side
changed their fortunes around in the second half.
First, it was Salah who got the goal in the 70th minute of
the match and four minutes later, Mane doubled the lead of Liverpool.
Leipzig had no answers and in the end, Liverpool walked away
with a comfortable 2-0 victory to progress to the quarterfinals of the
Champions League.
In the entire match, Liverpool had seven shots on target
while Leipzig just had two shots on target.
Leipzig had 60 per cent of the ball possession in the entire
game, but Liverpool defenders were upto the mark and they did not let their
opponent score a goal.
Liverpool is currently at the eighth spot in the Premier
League 2020-21 standings and it is safe to say that the side would not be able
to defend its Premier League title after being 25 points behind table-toppers
Manchester City.
The Reds will next take on Wolves in the Premier League on March 15. (ANI).
