Liverpool lost 3-2 to Fenerbahce in the Champions League despite twice taking the lead against the Turkish giants.

Liverpool suffered an embarrassing 3-2 Champions League defeat against Dirk Kuyt's Fenerbahce at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. The Reds led twice through goals from Trey Nyoni and substitute Alexander Isak, but defensive lapses allowed Fenerbahce to fight back. Mason Greenwood leveled with a deflected free-kick, Archie Brown capitalized on a mix-up to score, and Vedat Muriqi headed the late winner.
Express Sport assessed Liverpool's squad critically after the collapse, handing out four 4/10 ratings following a disjointed team display. Goalkeeper Alisson struggled with command of his area despite several saves and expressed visible frustration with teammate Jeremy Jacquet during the defeat, while Liverpool's backline crumbled under pressure in the second half.
