Yeah Nobody thought Liverpool could 7 scored without conceding, it was a goals party for them. This very bad defeat will be the most valuable lesson for Ten Hag, because in the EPL there are many big clubs which can't be underestimated, even clubs that are in the relegation zone can make a surprise here. Meanwhile, for Liverpool which has been big win, they possibility will certainly be on fire to at least win a ticket in top 4 because the gap is also not too far anyway.
What the hell. Maybe LFC can even thrash Real Madrid in the second leg and progress to the next round. It would be hard but they'd only need half the number of goals they scored against Utd. Anything's possible at this point.
The poor results Chelsea have achieved in recent weeks have made Potter even more scrutinized, his quality is increasingly doubtful that he can make Chelsea triumph again in the Premier League and also in Europe. Even though they have been equipped with several quality players, Chelsea are so easy to lose under Potter's leadership, they are also in danger of dropping out in the Champions League after defeat in the first leg.
Champions League is only hope left for Chelsea. They lost in a first leg but in a second leg, they will host Dortmund at Stamford Bridge and with a minimal loss in a first leg, their hope is there. Winning 2 goals will help Chelsea to go to quarter final round and continue to chase for a third Champions League in their history.
This isn't 2021 anymore. Now you can get a CL position if you have a high-enough club coefficient.
