\u201cThe focus goes completely to the end of the season for the league,\u201d Wirtz told Liverpoolfc.com following the loss to PSG.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to play [in the] Champions League next season, we owe this to the club and to the fans. We will give our best, like we did today, and hopefully we can make minimum the top five.\u201d<\/p>\n
A much-improved second-leg display from Liverpool gave hope of their 2-0 deficit from Paris being overturned.<\/p>\n
One pivotal block by Marquinhos denied Virgil van Dijk during the first half and the Reds were awarded a penalty after the break that was then rescinded following a VAR review.<\/p>\n
Two strikes from Ousmane Dembele in the latter stages, however, put the tie to bed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe tried everything,\u201d said Wirtz. \u201cI think the whole stadium was on fire and the fans, big compliments to them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe tried everything from the first minute, but we needed that one goal to get the turnaround started. We were just missing the goal. That\u2019s football \u2013 when you don\u2019t score goals, you don\u2019t win games.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThe focus goes completely to the end of the season for the league,\u201d Wirtz told Liverpoolfc.com following the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[607,608,59,596,603,598,609,611,610,134,602,601,597,606,599,604,101,600,56,54,55,605],"class_list":{"0":"post-534345","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-alisson","9":"tag-firmino","10":"tag-gb","11":"tag-homepage","12":"tag-klopp","13":"tag-lfc","14":"tag-lfc-news","15":"tag-lfctv","16":"tag-lfctv-go","17":"tag-liverpool-fc","18":"tag-liverpool-fc-match","19":"tag-liverpool-fc-news","20":"tag-liverpool-football-club","21":"tag-mane","22":"tag-reds","23":"tag-salah","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-the-reds","26":"tag-uk","27":"tag-united-kingdom","28":"tag-unitedkingdom","29":"tag-van-dijk"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
