Liverpool had a great 2021/22 season. He managed to play every possible game for the team, reaching the final in all competitions and fighting to the end in the Premier League. However, he ended up losing on the most important fronts and finally won two titles. Now, the team is living a different present and is struggling to get back on track.

The Reds' great year was, in part, thanks to their excellent attack. The combination and alternation between Roberto Firmino, Luis Díaz, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Sadio Mané was a boom that allowed them to fight in all competitions. In the present, after the departure of the Senegalese, Jürgen Klopp and company have lost a very important player.

Last season, Liverpool lost just four games, winning the FA Cup and League Cup. One of the defeats came against Real Madrid in the Champions League play-offs, and in the Premiership they were just one point behind Manchester City.

In the current season they have already accumulated two defeats and several draws, complicating their intentions of fighting at the top of the English league. Of course, the departure of Mané to Bayern Munich meant a hard blow for the team. This was made clear by Lucho Diaz, who has been paying every penny they put in to get his services.

Sadio Mané's departure caused sadness at Liverpool

The Colombian commented on how Sadio's departure hit the squad. "He is a player who will be needed in any team. The team was devastated. He went to a big club and is working to achieve his goals," he told ESPN Brasil. He also stressed that they must turn the page and remain determined to repeat what they have done in the recent past: "We are aware of the great group we have here, we are working hard every day to improve. Everyone is here to help and that shows in the games.
