Liverpool produced a calm and clinical display on Wednesday night as they swept aside Marseille 3-0 at the Stade Velodrome in the UEFA Champions League league phase. Confidence was already high within Arne Slot's squad heading into the contest, as highlighted earlier by SoftFootball when assessing Liverpool's confidence ahead of the Marseille clash , and that belief showed from the opening stages.
The result, shared by the clubs official X account , moves the Reds onto 15 points and firmly into the top four of the table, while Marseille slip further behind and now face a tense fight just to reach the play-off places. Despite the intimidating atmosphere inside the Velodrome, Liverpool never lost their composure.
Marseille started with energy and briefly threatened through Mason Greenwood, forcing Alisson Becker into a sharp save, but clear chances were limited. Hugo Ekitike thought he had opened the scoring against his former club, only for the flag to rule him offside.
