The teams emerged for the league-phase finale to the backdrop of a din inside Philips Stadium, a venue the Reds last visited back in 2008.
A lively start only gave way to snatches of chances at either end, with Chiesa firing one decent effort from outside the area into the gloves of PSV goalkeeper Walter Benitez.
The Italian was unable to make the most of space right of goal when later picked out by Elliott, before Joey Veerman swerved a good free-kick just too high of Caoimhin Kelleher’s net.
Chiesa had been an energetic presence throughout the early phases and that paid dividends for the visitors prior to the half-hour.
His latest foray along the right-hand side was partially dealt with by PSV, but the home team were caught playing out and Chiesa’s press on Veerman drew a foul inside the box.
Elliott immediately swiped the loose ball past Benitez but the referee pulled play back to award a penalty, which Gakpo calmly stroked into the bottom right corner.
Liverpool’s lead was short-lived, though. From a lofted pass into their area, Pepi’s deft flick teed up Bakayoko, who feinted as Robertson and Jarell Quansah slid in and clipped a clinical effort inside the left post.
A frenzied end to the half ensued.
In a thrilling match at the Philips Stadion, Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven. Despite the loss, the Reds secured their spot at the top of the UEFA Champions League group stage, thanks to their impressive performances in previous matches.
PSV took an early lead through a goal from Donyell Malen, but Liverpool fought back with a goal from Mohamed Salah to level the score. However, PSV regained the lead with a late goal from Cody Gakpo, securing the victory for the Dutch side.
Despite the disappointing result, Liverpool’s strong performances in the group stage ensured they finished at the top of their group, setting them up for a favorable draw in the knockout rounds of the competition.
Overall, it was a tough loss for Liverpool, but their focus now shifts to the next stage of the Champions League as they look to continue their quest for European glory.
Liverpool lost their 100% record in the Champions League but you suspect Arne Slot will be over the disappointment before the team’s flight lands back on Merseyside. PSV Eindhoven secured the victory they needed to guarantee a playoff place with a rousing comeback against a youthful Liverpool side, who had debutant Amara Nallo sent off four minutes after his introduction.
Nallo’s misfortune – the 18-year-old defender looked distraught after receiving a straight red for denying Johan Bakayoko a clear goalscoring opportunity – tainted an encouraging display from Liverpool’s youngsters. But Slot’s side retained top spot in the table regardless of defeat. And, as the Liverpool head coach admitted beforehand, the final placing hardly matters when his team are guaranteed to face the 15th, 16th, 17th or 18th placed side in the last 16.
Former PSV favourite Cody Gakpo and Andy Robertson were the only players retained from Saturday’s starting lineup against Ipswich. Liverpool had earned the right to rest regulars ahead of the weekend trip to Bournemouth, a key game that Slot admitted was on his mind when planning for PSV, although Darwin Núñez was an enforced absentee after falling ill on the day of the game. His place in attack went to Jayden Danns, who became the youngest player to make his full debut for Liverpool in a European Cup/Champions League fixture aged 19 years and 13 days.
It is testament to the work being done from academy to senior level at Liverpool that Slot’s makeshift, youthful side were still recognisable in style. Danns and James McConnell both impressed in a rollercoaster of a first half although it was an old head in the centre of defence who influenced the visitors’ assured start. Robertson took Virgil van Dijk’s position and captain’s armband for the night. He must have taken distribution tips from Van Dijk too as he dropped a series of pinpoint deliveries behind the PSV defence.
Conor Bradley and Gakpo both almost capitalised on long Robertson passes before the Scotland captain sprayed another fine ball to Federico Chiesa on the right wing. Mauro Júnior regained possession and gave it to Joey Veerman to complete the clearance. The PSV midfielder was far too casual, however, and took a heavy first touch inside his penalty area that invited Chiesa to intercept. Veerman’s second touch wiped out the Italy international, who required lengthy treatment, and resulted in a clear penalty. Gakpo sent Walter Benítez the wrong way from the spot and raised his hands in apology to his former club. The contest had lift off.

The hosts hit back for the first time with an exquisite goal from Bakayoko. Released into the Liverpool area by a deft touch from striker Ricardo Pepi, the winger put both Robertson and Jarell Quansah on their backsides with a dummy and curled an unstoppable finish inside Caoimhín Kelleher’s right-hand post.
Liverpool retook the lead five minutes later when Gakpo turned Wataru Endo’s long ball into the path of Chiesa, whose low drive was parried into the path of Harvey Elliott by Benítez. The midfielder, who scored the winner against Lille last week, made no mistake from close range.
Back came PSV against a vulnerable Liverpool defence and an exposed Bradley at right back. The visitors wanted a foul when Endo was dispossessed by Tygo Land in central midfield. Referee Tobias Stieler was not interested and Veerman released Ismael Saibari inside the box with a perfectly-weighted pass. The left winger lashed an unstoppable shot into the roof of Kelleher’s net.
PSV profited down their left again to take the lead in the sixth minute of first-half stoppage time. Mauro Júnior broke into the area and played a low cross towards Pepi. The delivery deflected off Bradley, diverting it away from both the striker and Robertson, and sailed inside the far corner.
PSV came into the game with a chance of finishing in the top eight, the playoff places or the elimination zone. The fightback underlined that the occasion was of greater importance to Peter Bosz’s team.
Gakpo was given a rousing reception from all four sides of the Philips Stadion when he was replaced by Tyler Morton early in the second half.
With Slot introducing more young talent and PSV seemingly content to protect their advantage, the game unsurprisingly petered out following the late first-half flurry. Morton made a superb block to prevent Pepi adding a fourth from a PSV counterattack and also tested Benítez from distance. That was a rare threat from Liverpool in the second half. Their task became even more difficult when Nallo accidentally clipped Bakayoko as they pursued a long ball over the top and was shown red.
In a thrilling Champions League match, Pepi settles the score for PSV Eindhoven as they secure a crucial victory. However, despite their win, Liverpool manages to hold on to the top spot in the group standings. The match was filled with excitement and drama as both teams fought hard for the win.

El Liverpool, líder de la fase liga de la Champions League con pleno de 21 puntos tras ganar los siete partidos disputados hasta ahora, tiene el acceso a los octavos de final asegurado, pero mañana, en la última jornada, se juega acabar primero en su visita al PSV Eindhoven ya que el Barcelona, segundo con tres puntos menos antes de recibir al Atalanta en Montjuïc, puede aún superarle en la clasificación final por diferencia de goles, ahora favorable a los azulgrana (+15 contra +13 de los ‘reds’).
Sin embargo, a Arne Slot no le preocupa la posición en que termine el Liverpool como demuestra el hecho de que ayer dejara en Inglaterra a nueve de los once titulares que empezaron el sábado el partido de la Premier League ante el Ipswich (4-1).
Los nueve que se quedan en Liverpool
Son Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis MacAllsiter, Ryan Gravenbech, Luis Díaz y Mohamed Salah, a quienes Slot da descanso de cara a la difícil visita del sábado ante el Bournemouth con el objetivo de consolidar el liderato liguero.
Andy Robertson y Cody Gakpo son los dos únicos jugadores titulares en Ipswich que han viajado a Eindhoven, mientras Joe Gomez y Diogo Jota son baja por lesión.
Quedar primero o segundo no afecta al sorteo
“Creo que estamos jugando, como todos los equipos de Europa, muchos, muchos, muchos partidos”, dijo hoy Slot en la conferencia de prensa previa al partido ante el Stuttgart. Al Liverpool le basta con empatar para confirmar su primer lugar.
“Me llevó un tiempo entender este nuevo formato, ahora puedo decir que estoy 100% seguro de que no importa en absoluto si terminamos primeros o segundos”, dijo Slot, ya que, según el sistema de competición ideado por la UEFA, para el Liverpool, acabar primero o segundo, no supondrá ninguna diferencia a la hora de conocer el rival en el sorteo de octavos de final. “Jugaremos con un equipo situado entre el 15º y el 18º lugar y luego al final se sortea a qué equipo nos vamos a enfrentar”.
Una decisión mirando a largo plazo
Slot mira a largo plazo. “Si nos fijamos en nuestra temporada, casi todas las veces, después de tres, cuatro o cinco semanas, les dimos un descanso durante la semana en que había un partido de la Copa de la Liga o la FA Cup, si había momento para que recuperaran un poco de frescura, siempre lo hemos hecho”, argumentó sobre su decisión.

“Por lo tanto, es una elección que hemos tomado a largo plazo. No nos dice nada sobre los resultados a corto plazo, pero definitivamente nos ayuda a largo plazo”, sentenció. “Dado que empezamos principalmente los partidos con 13 o 14 jugadores que han compartido la mayor parte del tiempo de juego, los que no han jugado mucho es muy útil para ellos tener 90 minutos. Porque si nos metemos en problemas de lesión, estos jugadores también tendrán un poco de ritmo de juego”.
El Liverpool deja en casa a nueve titulares contra el PSV
En una decisión sorprendente, el Liverpool ha optado por dejar en casa a nueve de sus titulares habituales para el partido contra el PSV en la Liga de Campeones. Jugadores clave como Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk y Sadio Mané no estarán presentes en el encuentro, lo que ha generado controversia entre los aficionados y expertos del fútbol.
El entrenador del Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp, ha defendido su decisión diciendo que es importante rotar a los jugadores y darles descanso en una temporada tan exigente. A pesar de las críticas, Klopp confía en que los suplentes y jóvenes talentos del equipo puedan dar un buen rendimiento y obtener un resultado positivo en el partido.
La ausencia de tantos titulares sin duda será una prueba difícil para el Liverpool, pero también una oportunidad para que otros jugadores demuestren su valía y se ganen un lugar en el once titular. Los aficionados estarán atentos para ver cómo se desenvuelve el equipo sin sus estrellas, y si la decisión de Klopp resulta acertada en este importante encuentro de la Liga de Campeones.
Liverpool disputará su último partido de la fase liga de la UEFA Champions League con una plantilla alterna, dejando fuera a varias de sus principales figuras, incluyendo a Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker y el colombiano Luis Díaz. También se ausentarán Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konaté, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister y Dominik Szoboszlai.
El técnico Arne Slot justificó la decisión asegurando que la clasificación a octavos de final ya está asegurada, por lo que priorizó el descanso de sus jugadores clave. Liverpool también lidera la Premier League y sigue en competencia en la FA Cup y la EFL Cup, lo que obliga al neerlandés a tener una gestión cuidadosa de la plantilla.
Slot destacó que la posición final en la fase liguera no altera el sorteo de octavos de final, ya que los clasificados enfrentarán a equipos ubicados entre el puesto 15 y 18 de la tabla general. A pesar de esto, el entrenador aseguró que el equipo saldrá a buscar la victoria: “Nunca he visto nada bueno salir de una derrota, así que vamos a hacer todo lo posible por ganar”.
En la tabla de posiciones, Liverpool ha ganado sus siete partidos en Europa y podría ser superado por Barcelona si cae antePSV. Sin embargo, Slot no mostró preocupación. Por su parte, PSV ocupa el puesto 19 con 11 puntos y necesita sumar ante Liverpool para asegurar su presencia en los playoffs del torneo.
El Liverpool se enfrentará al PSV en la Liga de Campeones sin dos de sus principales jugadores, Luis Díaz y Mohamed Salah. Ambos jugadores se perderán el partido debido a lesiones, lo que es un duro golpe para el equipo de Jurgen Klopp.
Sin embargo, el Liverpool no se dará por vencido y buscará obtener una victoria importante en este partido crucial. Con jugadores como Diogo Jota, Sadio Mané y Roberto Firmino en el ataque, el equipo tiene la capacidad de superar la ausencia de Díaz y Salah.
El PSV, por su parte, no será un rival fácil y seguramente pondrá a prueba la defensa del Liverpool. Será un emocionante enfrentamiento entre dos equipos de alto nivel que luchan por avanzar en la competición europea.
Los aficionados del Liverpool estarán ansiosos por ver cómo el equipo se desempeña sin dos de sus jugadores estrella, pero confían en que los Reds puedan salir victoriosos en este desafío. ¡Vamos Liverpool! ¡YNWA! #ChampionsLeague #LiverpoolvsPSV #LuisDíaz #Salah #YNWA

El equipo dirigido por Slot llega en la primera ubicación con 21 puntos en siete partidos disputados. El objetivo para este duelo es quedar en la primera posición de la Liguilla con puntaje perfecto y no dejar esto en manos de Barcelona que también hace una buena campaña y es segundo.
Sin embargo, el entrenador dejó por fuera de este partido a hombres como Luis Díaz, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch y Virgil Van Dijk entre otros.
Este duelo será clave para hombres como Endo, Elliot, Chiesa y Núñez que quieren un cupo en la titular. “Un momento para que recuperen la frescura, siempre lo hemos hecho. Me llevó un tiempo entender este formato, pero puedo estar 100% seguro de que no importa en absoluto si terminamos primero o segundo”, afirmó el entrenador cuando preguntaron por las bajas para el duelo.
El local necesita ganar para jugar los playoffs, debido a que está en la posición 19 con 11 unidades, producto de tres victorias y dos empates.

Arne Slot says he is protecting his squad for the key months ahead as tomorrow’s Champions League game with PSV Eindhoven has “no importance to the league table”.
“It took me some time to understand this new format but now I can say that I’m 100 per cent sure that it doesn’t matter if we finish first or second because we will play the team in 14, 15, 16 or 17, then it is a draw of which team we will face,” Slot says. “We cannot drop to number three so this is a game for us that has no importance to the league table.
“But a very wise man said to me that he’s never seen anything good from losing a football game so we will do everything we can to try and win it.”

‘Un-be-liev-able’: How Szoboszlai became essential for Liverpool
Slot has worked closely with his staff to decide which players need a rest ahead of a continued busy period.
He decided to take Cody Gakpo along as he wanted to give him the opportunity to face his former side, who he joined Liverpool from two years ago.
“These players are ready and all the players who were left behind could have played tomorrow,” he says.
“But in the long-term — so it doesn’t tell us anything about Saturday’s game — if you look back at our season, after four or five weeks, we gave them a break during the week if there was a moment to give them one. We’ve always done it to keep them fresh.
“Also, because we mainly start with 13 or 14 players who have shared most of the playing time, some of the others haven’t played a lot.
“It’s very useful for the other players to now get 90 minutes because if we do get into any injury problems, it will be useful to have these players. It’s a choice we have made for the long term.”

Arne Slot says he is making ‘choice for the long-term’ in resting Liverpool regulars for PSV clash
Arne Slot, the head coach of Liverpool, has made the bold decision to rest several key players for their upcoming clash against PSV. Slot has stated that he is making this choice with the long-term success of the team in mind, as he believes that giving some of his regular starters a break will benefit the team in the long run.
While some fans may be concerned about the impact of resting key players in such an important match, Slot is confident in his decision and believes that the squad has the depth and quality to still perform well against PSV. He emphasized that he is looking at the bigger picture and wants to ensure that his players are fresh and fit for the challenges ahead.
Slot’s decision to rest players for the PSV clash may raise some eyebrows, but his focus on the long-term success of the team is commendable. It will be interesting to see how the squad performs without some of their regular starters, but Slot’s commitment to making decisions that benefit the team in the long run is certainly a positive sign for Liverpool fans.

Jan 28 (Reuters) – Liverpool can afford to rest a host of regular starters for their last league-phase game in the Champions League and giving players a break is more of a priority than maintaining first place in the standings, manager Arne Slot said on Tuesday.
Liverpool, guaranteed a place in the Champions League’s last 16, also lead the Premier League and are still in the FA Cup and League Cup, so will have plenty of big matches to come this season.
“I think we are playing, like all the teams in Europe, many, many, many games and these players have already, so all the ones that are left behind could have played tomorrow,” Slot told reporters.
“If you look back at our season, it’s been almost every time after three or four or five weeks, we gave them a break during the week when it was the League Cup or the FA Cup.
“If there was a moment for them to get some freshness back, we’ve always done that.”
While Slot’s side have won all seven games in the competition, Liverpool could still be overtaken at the top by Barcelona if they lose at PSV, but the manager was not overly concerned about their final position.
Liverpool cannot slip out of the top two, and when it comes to the round of 16 draw, whether they finish first or second will make no difference to whom they will face next.
“It took me a while to understand this new format, but I always say when I think I’m 100% sure I used 99.9%, but now I can say I’m 100% sure that it doesn’t matter at all if we end up first or second,” Slot said.
“Because we will play a side between 15th and 18th place, and then in the end it’s a draw which of the teams we are going to face.
“So this is a game for us, because we are now number one, or two, we cannot drop to number three.
“But a very wise man once said to me, I’ve never seen anything good coming from losing a football game, so we are not going into the game tomorrow trying to lose the game, we will do everything we can trying to win it of course.”
