Liverpool FC has marked yet another feat in its defensive history, by eclipsing the previous record it set for the most minutes without conceding in European competition. Previously standing at 572 minutes in the 2005-06 season, Liverpool now proudly possesses the record with its 599-minute score. This is the start of yet another chapter in the club’s defensive story under Jurgen Klopp, as they had last conceded a goal way back in September from the reverse of Christian Pulisic when Chelsea played AC Milan in the Champions League.
Since they hung their heads in shame after conceded the early goal, Liverpool has closed up shop defensively against top opponents like RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, and Girona. Organized and disciplined, their defense has continued to command much respect, with commendable backline performances from goalkeeper Alisson Becker and a line that has proven sturdy throughout their European odyssey.
The record continued against Ligue Ligue due to Jonathan David in the 62nd minute in the last match-the turning point to sBrake Liverpool’s record. Despite conceding, this is a major badge of commitment indeed to keep-a-clean-sheet and team spirit. Yet these days have strengthened Liverpool’s credentials as one of the toughest teams to penetrate in continental competition.
