  • Jurgen Klopp refuses to give up Champions League dreams despite Barcelona defeat

It’s the first time Liverpool have lost a game since January 7, when they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Wolves.But an even more surprising statistic emerged about Liverpool following their defeat at the Camp Nou.This is their fourth defeat in the Champions League this season, which is more defeats than they’ve experienced in all other competitions combined this campaign (3). Liverpool were beaten at Napoli, Red Star Belgrade and Paris Saint-Germain in the groups but made it to the knockout stages due to their brilliant home form.In England, however, they’ve lost just three times – against Chelsea and Wolves in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup respectively and they were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City in the Premier League this season.And yet it’s still looking like it will be another trophyless campaign for the Reds barring a miracle. Football, eh?!
