Second half and Liverpool never seemed to get going. Sevilla dominated and Liverpool couldn't get a foot on the ball. To win the trophy for 3 consecutive years is a phenomenal achievement.

Did anyone else think that throughout the players just seemed on a different wavelength to each other, a lot of flat footed passes, someone nicking a touch which pushed it past the player in a better position and doing the "flair" touch or getting physical (Can) instead of doing the simple thing and playing the ball?

Anyone who says that it's a good thing to not have European football is kidding themselves. This has potential to derail Klopp's recruitment drive for next year. What it may allow is Klopp to be more ruthless in the outgoing's for next season. Without the European football we won't need as big a squad so there will be plenty of movement out.
To win the trophy for 3 years is not an achievement.

How can they not be good enough to get out of the group stage in the UCL the last two years is more baffling to understand
