Bellingham’s Reflections on the Match Against Liverpool

“I think the score reflects the game. In the second half, they created more chances, and we didn’t defend well on set pieces. In the first half, we controlled it well, but in the second half, not so much. When they scored in the second half, we wanted to push hard and lost possession a lot, giving them many more opportunities when we were at our most vulnerable.”

Coach Xabi Alonso’s Post-Match Analysis

“I don’t feel like we were physically outmatched or lost any duels. The game was demanding, played at a high tempo. We lacked a cutting edge in the final third; it came down to details. We talked about it at halftime; we conceded a lot of fouls and corners, but that goal gave them the advantage, and it cost us. It was difficult for us to get into the final third. They were dropping deep, and in the box, it was hard to create danger. It was a game that required hard work, gradually gaining ground, and then it came down to the details. In the end, it went their way.”

Both Bellingham and Alonso emphasize the critical moments and fine margins that determined the match’s outcome against Liverpool.
