It may prove to be too late in the end but Liverpool are certainly asking the right questions of those around them. As recently as a few weeks ago the prospect of Champions League football seemed impossible but it is now six wins in a row for Jürgen Klopp’s side. In the city where Eurovision will be held next weekend, Liverpool are hitting the right notes at exactly the right time.
This latest victory was far from their most polished. But that matters little, with Mohamed Salah’s first-half goal enough to see off a game effort from Brentford, putting a dent in the Bees’ own hopes of a first foray into continental football next season. In contrast, Europe of some form looks certain for Liverpool, and they will not have given up hope that it is the Champions League where their destiny lies.
