Champions League: "Liverpool" fail to solve "Basel" puzzle (PHOTO, VIDEO)

"Anfield" stadium did not help the "Liverpool" club. Brendan Rodgers's players could not beat the "Basel" team and missed the last chance to qualify for the Champions League knockout stage. From the beginning of the match, the "Liverpool" team tried to rewrite their unfavorable history and defeat the Basel club for the first time. However, it was the guests who scored first - Fabian Frei, who received the ball in the penalty area, accurately directed it into Simon Mignolet's goal. The English team, having suffered a blow, tried to rectify the situation but almost conceded another goal. In the second half, Lazar Marković appeared on the field after a substitution and received a red card after 16 minutes for allegedly elbowing B. Safari. Despite being a player down, "Liverpool" did not give up, and S. Gerrard scored a penalty in the 81st minute to equalize - 1-1. To the disappointment of the home fans, the "Reds" failed to score more goals, and they will have to continue their battles in the Europa League next year.
