With impending history looming, Liverpool staged a comeback as they faced Eintracht Frankfurt. After Rasmus Kristensen scored for Frankfurt in the 26th minute, anxieties grew over the possibility of Liverpool facing a fifth consecutive loss. However, the Reds responded emphatically, scoring five times in a dynamic performance that suggested their confidence remains resilient.

This clash felt less like a critical Champions League match and more akin to an EFL Cup fixture, with Arne Slot determined to seize the moment. Despite the ease with which Liverpool exploited Frankfurt’s defenses, the absence of robust competition should serve as a warning for Slot.

Mohamed Salah, who was sidelined for most of the game, must have felt frustration at missing out on a prime opportunity to score against a team that has now conceded a whopping 29 goals in 11 matches this season. Meanwhile, Alexander Isak’s form remains concerning as he struggles with injuries.

Liverpool adapted their strategy and managed to leverage their new signings. The tactical shift to a quasi 4-4-2 formation allowed for fruitful opportunities, with Hugo Ekitike showcasing his abilities against a beleaguered defense.

Despite triumph, questions linger about Liverpool’s emerging vulnerabilities in the backline, especially against more formidable opponents.

Ultimately, Liverpool needed this victory to restore their momentum and optimism for the season ahead.
