Klopp’s men surpass (0-2) a Newcastle that has only lost this against the ‘reds’
Liverpool this Saturday defeated Newcastle (0-2) on matchday 24 of the Premiership, before hosting Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday, a good result, which was lacking, and some punch, but not much football .
Jurgen Klopp’s men benefited from a very favorable 20 minutes of barrage, with fine goals from Darwin Núñez and Gakpo, which were rounded off with the exclusion of local goalkeeper Nick Pope, who will miss the League Cup final. The reds’ moment of weakness was not long in coming, however, and Newcastle responded without the same goal.
Allan Saint-Maximin swept the goal, which was avoided between Alisson and the wood, and Newcastle came in better at half time despite being down to 10. At the restart, Liverpool added to their concerns over Darwin Núñez’s possible shoulder injury, although Klopp was able to shoot down Jota and Firmino. Virgil van Dijk, who had not played since early January, entered the eleven ready for Real Madrid.
The ‘reds’ secured a balsamic win, thanks in part to Alisson’s saves, to find some regularity and regain their strength before hosting Real Madrid at Anfield. Klopp’s also hold up so that fourth place of entry into the Champions League does not go away from Newcastle, who conceded their second defeat of the season against Liverpool.
