Mane needed less than 10 minutes to open the scoring in the Stadio Olimpico, as Liverpool’s bid to defend the 5-2 lead picked up in the first leg got off to a perfect start. After Radja Nainggolan’s horrendous pass was picked up, the striker was fed in by Roberto Firmino and finished in emphatic fashion past Alisson. The goal put Liverpool 6-2 ahead on aggregate, with Georginio Wijnaldum later restoring the four-goal advantage following James Milner’s own goal....

Alexander-Arnold is one of the most important players at Liverpool in Jurgen Klopp’s system. The 23-year-old full-back is a constant threat due to his outstanding crossing and set-piece abilities. Alexander-Arnold has contributed two goals and an incredible 18 assists across all competitions this term. Despite his importance to the squad, the Reds do not have an adequate backup for the right-back. Klopp’s gegenpressing system is high in intensity, which requires each player to get some rest after a couple of games....

The highlights of the season were two penalty-kick shootout victories over Chelsea in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Liverpool missed out on making history with a quadruple. If the Reds had managed all four, they would have been the first men’s team in England to win the three major domestic trophies plus the European crown....

Liverpool finished fourth last season, 17 points behind champions Chelsea, but could have delivered more of a challenge had they performed better against some of the lesser lights of the Premier League. Five of Liverpool’s six league defeats were against teams who finished in the lower half of the table. While Liverpool have been relatively quiet in the transfer market, adding only winger Mohamed Salah and 19-year-old striker Dominic Solanke ahead of the new season, they have maintained a core group of top players....

It never did. Arsenal produced nothing short of a gutsy team effort to hold a Liverpool side devoid of ideas scoreless and send the EFL Cup semifinal back to the Emirates with a 0-0 scoreline and the matchup very much in the balance. The Gunners could very well have capitulated once Xhaka was sent to the showers and Cedric withdrawn with an injury, but instead Mikel Arteta orchestrated a masterpiece, as Ben White led the monumental defensive effort while Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli added flair....
