Liverpool’s struggles deepened as they suffered a 4-1 home defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, marking their worst run in 71 years. The loss at Anfield was Liverpool’s ninth in their last 12 matches and their third consecutive defeat, during which they have conceded 10 goals. The team, currently 12th in the Premier League table, has lost six of their past seven league games despite heavy investment before the season. This is their first home loss to PSV since 2008 and their first group-stage home defeat in the Champions League in five years. Defensive errors, including a penalty conceded by Virgil van Dijk, and missed opportunities from Cody Gakpo contributed to the collapse. Coach Arne Slot’s decision to bench record signing Alexander Isak also failed to yield results. With qualification for the Champions League round of 16 now uncertain, Liverpool face mounting pressure to recover from their worst form since the 1953–54 season.
