DBasia.news – Within 11 days of the 2019-20 season Liverpool had lost their dreams.
Liverpool had a promising report card since the beginning of the season. In the Premier League, Mohamed Salah and his colleagues were in their prime and was undefeated and only had one draw. Not surprisingly, the Reds are at the top of the standings and were superior with more than 20 points.

The defeat in the knockout stages made Liverpool be kicked out. As a result, Mohamed Salah and his collagues failed to win the treble this season.
