As gigantic institutions as there are in Europe's top five leagues, this does not detract from the fact that one of their main subjective objectives in their domestic league is to get as many points as possible to fight not only for the domestic title but also for a place in the group stage of the Champions League, with Liverpool failing in this 2022-2023 campaign to achieve only a sixth place finish that qualifies them only for the EUFA Europa League.
Without wishing to discredit one of the biggest competitions in football on the old continent, any team with big resources rarely sets foot in this league that usually has great performances from teams that have dominated the circuit for a long time, with matches being so competitive to the point that even those who come from a bad group stage in the Champions League are sometimes eliminated on the way to the Play offs, as has happened with Barcelona this past year.
The Reds must now be aware that their entry into the Europa League is not just down to collective underachievement, with the Anfield Edition account revealing a list of reasons why Liverpool were not their usual selves, with injuries to Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota a casualty of attacking play that had to be filled by a Darwin Nunez who made the mistake of being sent off against Crystal Palace.
Although the list includes situations such as the poor investment in the summer of 2022 or the poor effectiveness in January due to injuries and a lack of collective play, the twitter account and fans who confirm in the comments believe that the loss of that Champions League ticket was due to the punctual defeat of games that were theoretically easy to win, as happened against Nottingham Forrest, Leeds and Bournemouth.
