Liverpool FC takes an expensive loss to Sparta Prague, and Darwin Nunez shows what kind of player he is

Liverpool went to Sparta Prague for the first leg of their last-16 Europa League match.

Liverpool scored five goals away at Sparta Prague to get closer to the Europa League quarterfinals. The second game of the last-16 matchup is next week. The Reds won 5-1, with goals from Darwin Nunez (2), Alexis Mac Allister (1), Luis Diaz (1), and Dominik Szoboszlai (1). However, there are a few things that could go wrong before their game against Manchester City on Sunday. In this article, Express Sport goes over four important points from the game…

Liverpool takes a heavy hit

Jurgen Klopp will need everyone to do their best when his team plays City at home on Sunday. The Premier League title race could change a lot because of this game. However, the Reds’ defense got two new worries while they were in the Czech city.

Starting middle back Ibrahima Konate had to leave the game hurt in the second half because he couldn’t run fast enough. It will be very hard to be without him if he doesn’t get back in time for the weekend. At halftime, Conor Bradley came on to replace Joe Gomez, which caused worry about another possible injury blow.

The Uruguayan wasn’t bothered by being passed over, and he responded with two stunning goals that put Liverpool in charge. His first shot was a speculative right-footed shot from far away that confused the goalie. His second was a cracking finish that hit the bottom left corner of the net on the half-volley.
