Liverpool FC also wants to play internationally in the coming season. The “Reds” took the next step on Wednesday evening.
Jürgen Klopp and his Liverpool FC kept up the small chance of playing in the Champions League again next year. Due to a narrow 2-1 victory at West Ham United, the “Reds” are only six points behind fourth place, which entitles them to the premier class.
However, Manchester United, who occupy fourth place, have played two fewer games than Klopp’s team. And Newcastle United in third place not only have six points more than Liverpool, but also played one game less.
Liverpool, who won thanks to two goals from Cody Gakpo (18th minute) and ex-Schalke Joel Matip (67th) (Lucas Paqueta had put West Ham in the lead (12th), still has a chance of the Europa League. Plus the “Reds” would have to reach fifth place.
Liverpool untitled – Chelsea remain bottomless
Either way, one thing is certain: Liverpool will end the season without a title. The Klopp team was eliminated in both the Champions League and the FA Cup.
Manchester City beat Arsenal FC late on Wednesday evening. Kevin De Bruyne (7th minute, 54th), John Stones and Erling Haaland (90th + 5) scored the goals for the “Citizens”, Rob Holding was only able to score the consolation goal shortly before the end.
Without the national player Kai Havertz, who is on break due to knee problems, the series of failures of the past few weeks at Chelsea continued. After the 0:2 (0:1) home defeat against FC Brentford, the Londoners have been waiting for a win for eight games. It was manager Frank Lampard’s fifth defeat in five games since returning to Stamford Bridge.
