Liverpool's exit from the UEFA Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain caused a sense of frustration within the team, after the match ended in a heavy defeat that confirmed a trophy-less season.

Despite coach Arne Slot's attempt to maintain a positive tone about the team's future, midfielder Ryan Gravenberch's statements were more realistic, describing what happened as a "major failure," clearly indicating the extent of the decline compared to last season.

The club's management had invested substantial amounts to rebuild the team, with high hopes of competing for titles, but the results did not meet expectations.

With only six matches remaining in the league, qualification for the Champions League is still at risk, which increases the pressure on the coaching staff, especially amid the decline in overall performance and loss of stability.

The team suffered a series of setbacks during a critical period of the season, losing three of their last five matches and exiting two tournaments with harsh results. Injuries also played a significant role, most notably the injury to Hugo Ekitike, who might be out until the end of the season, exacerbating the struggles of the attacking line, which did not gel as expected despite having prominent names like Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz.

On the other hand, Slot's tactical decisions failed to make a difference, whether by involving Isak after a long absence or by changing the style of play against the French team.

While the coach sees the future as "bright," the current reality presents significant challenges, as Liverpool now has to fight in the final rounds to secure a European spot and avoid a disappointing end to a season that was supposed to be different.
