The phenomenal triumph for Liverpool comes only 3 days before the huge match in the Premier League against Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday that can decide the title.
Alexis Mac Allister converted a penalty in the 6th minute to give the Reds the lead, and after that, until the end of the 1st half, Darwin Nunez scored 2 phenomenal goals, and the English team had 3 goals lead after the 1st 45 minutes of the match.
12 – Darwin Núñez has been directly involved in 12 goals in 12 games for Liverpool in 2024 (eight goals, four assists); the joint-most of any Premier League player across all competitions since the turn of the year (level with Kevin De Bruyne). Emphatic. pic.twitter.com/ium8xUr4hq

Conor Bradley replaced Joe Gomez at halftime, and Bradley scored an own goal in the 1st minute of the 2nd half to make it 3-1, but it didn’t concern Klopp’s team at all, and Luis Diaz scored in the 53rd minute to make Liverpool’s lead in Prague 3 goals again.
Dominik Szoboszlai, who replaced Darwin Nunez at the beginning of the 2nd half, scored in the extra time for the final 5-1 and made the 2nd leg in England without an intrigue as Jurgen could rest key players after the 4-goal advantage.
