Liverpool’s defender Jarell Quansah has received high appreciation from manager Jurgen Klopp for “saving” the squad during Thursday’s 4-0 victory over LASK.
With one game remaining, Liverpool secured their place as the winners of their Europa League group thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and Luis Diaz.

the game had a lot of fantastic football and many positive aspects. i told the boys at halftime that this game ought to have been over by then. that was the one thing i didn’t really enjoy. a third, fourth, fifth goal—you can’t finish it better obviously, but we didn’t—you can’t play better, you can’t set it up better.
“so, what happened? when did we score the third, fifty-something [minutes] in? then, that is also quite beneficial. we altered things and somewhat lost our groove. then it becomes clear to you right away that you will lose control of the game if you don’t participate. if balls are lost at the wrong time, lask was there, had opportunities, and caoimhin put effort into his clean
