Right from the opening whistle, Liverpool and Leverkusen delivered an exhilarating showdown for the fans.

With the dynamic trio of Salah, Gakpo, and Diaz, Liverpool frequently pressed with rapid plays down both flanks. However, the “Red Brigade” lacked some precision in their finishing touches.

On the other side, Leverkusen also tested Liverpool’s defense multiple times. Near the end of the first half, Frimpong found the net for Leverkusen, but the goal was ruled offside.

The game shifted entirely in the second half when Liverpool upped the tempo. In the 61st minute, Diaz scored the opening goal off an assist from Curtis Jones. Just two minutes later, Salah set up Gakpo to double Liverpool’s lead.

Feeling the pressure, Leverkusen’s defense started to crumble, losing the focus they had early on. Between the 83rd and 90+2nd minutes, Diaz struck twice more to complete his hat-trick, securing Liverpool’s emphatic 4-0 victory.
