Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah said he was “totally devastated” by his side’s failure to qualify for the Champions League and felt the club had disappointed their supporters. Manchester United’s 4-1 victory over Chelsea on Thursday ended Liverpool’s hopes of securing a place in Europe’s biggest club competition next season. Juergen Klopp’s side are fifth, four points off the top four, with one game remaining.
Last season Liverpool finished one point behind Premier League champions Manchester City but failed to meet the challenge this year due to injuries and a string of poor results. ‘I’m totally devastated’ , Salah said on Twitter. There is absolutely no excuse for this. We had everything it took to qualify for the Champions League next year and we failed. We are Liverpool and qualifying for the competition is the bare minimum. I’m sorry, but it’s too early for an upbeat post. We disappointed you and we disappointed ourselves.”Liverpool will play their last game of the season on Sunday at Southampton.
