Liverpool vs Bayern Munich: reaction after Reds lose out in seven-goal thriller
Liverpool new football season is almost here, and they have been busy rebuilding their midfield after a disappointing last season, which resulted in them missing out on Champions League football. Players like Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have moved to the Saudi Pro League, and in their place, Liverpool has brought in Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister. The Reds are hoping their early transfer business pays off, and their new signings can make an immediate impact.
In a pre-season match against Bayern Munich in Singapore, Liverpool's new midfield duo of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai started together for the first time. Liverpool named a strong lineup for the game, and they faced a tough challenge against the Bundesliga champions.
The match was filled with action and goals:
- Cody Gakpo scored for Liverpool in the opening two minutes (LIV 1-0 BAY).
- Virgil van Dijk powered a header into the net from a corner to make it 2-0 for Liverpool (LIV 2-0 BAY).
- Serge Gnabry pulled one back for Bayern, making it 2-1 (LIV 2-1 BAY).
- Leroy Sane netted the equalizer for Bayern before half-time, leveling the score at 2-2 (LIV 2-2 BAY).
- Luis Diaz finished off a great move to put Liverpool ahead again (LIV 3-2 BAY).
- Josip Stanisic had a tap-in to equalize for Bayern, making it 3-3 (LIV 3-3 BAY).
- Frans Krätzig scored in stoppage time to give Bayern a late victory, with the final score being Liverpool 3-4 Bayern Munich (LIV 3-4 BAY).
