- 2-1 in Anfield. Narration and statistics
The two previous losses to Chelsea and Watford, coupled with the injuries of Jordan Henderson and Alisson had thinned the atmosphere of euphoria in Anfield in the hours leading up to the last commitment prior to the crucial Champions duel against Atlético. The Bournemouth, with only one point in the previous four days, seemed like an auspicious opponent, but at nine minutes, the 0-1 forced more efforts than those planned for the 'reds', which went back thanks to Mohamed's goals Salah and Sadio Mané, although far from their best version.
In any case, the triumph, the 22nd consecutive in his fief, places the Jürgen Klopp team with 25 points ahead of Manchester City, which has two fewer games. A margin more than enough for the remaining nine days, mere procedure prior to the desired celebration of the first title of the Premier in 30 years.
Aware of the latest difficulties, Klopp reiterated one of his most repeated messages in recent weeks. "Confidence is not something you have, keep in a pocket and keep for the rest of your life. But it comes and goes," warned the German coach, who lined up his best troops despite the proximity of the aforementioned Champions duel.
