Liverpool put on a dominant display as they thrashed Sparta Prague to secure their spot in the Europa League quarter-finals, sending a resounding message of intent under departing manager Jurgen Klopp.
Already holding a commanding 5-1 lead from the first leg in the Czech Republic, Liverpool wasted no time in extending their advantage at Anfield. Darwin Nunez opened the scoring with a clinical finish after a precise cut-back from Dominik Szoboszlai, setting the tone for a blistering start.
Teenager Bobby Clark added to the onslaught, notching his first senior goal just over a minute later, while Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo also found the net in a relentless first-half performance. Salah’s goal marked his 20th of the season and a historic milestone as the first Liverpool player to achieve 20 goals in seven consecutive campaigns.
Despite a brief response from Sparta, Liverpool maintained their dominance after the break. Szoboszlai’s deflected strike and Gakpo’s improvised finish from Harvey Elliott’s delivery sealed a comprehensive victory for the Reds.
Speaking after the match, Klopp praised Salah’s consistency and hailed the team’s relentless desire to succeed under his tenure. The emphatic win not only secured Liverpool’s progression to the quarter-finals but also demonstrated their hunger to win every trophy possible as a tribute to Klopp’s legacy at the club.
As Klopp prepares to depart, Liverpool’s pursuit of silverware in multiple competitions remains undeterred, with the FA Cup and Premier League still within their sights.
