166 Liverpool lost out in agonising fashion to Manchester United as Amad Diallo netted in the final minute to win it in extra-time.
Diallo came off the bench to be the hero and was then sent off for his celebration, albeit he appeared to care little for the red.
For United, it was a huge moment in their season that puts them in the semi-final and with a real chance of their being an all Manchester final as well.
However, for Liverpool, it marked the end of their quadruple hopes. Jurgen Klopp will be disappointed his side didn’t make their possession count in normal time and his frustration was clear in the 78th minute when Cody Gakpo wasted a huge chance.
Jurgen Klopp fuming with Cody Gakpo
£37m Gakpo signing was introduced off the bench but had little impact on the game in the end.
And in a pivotal moment in the second half with the game at 2-1, Liverpool had a golden chance to make it 3-1 as Gakpo broke forward leading a five on two charge for the Reds.
However, while Gakpo had loads of options to choose from, he played a really poor pass and the move simply broke down before Liverpool could really threaten.
The commentators picked up on it at the time, too, as Sam Matterface pointed out that Jurgen Klopp was visibly fuming with the Dutch forward for not making the most of the situation.
In the end, that moment and a few others proved costly, as Liverpool lost it in extra-time.
Liverpool blew it at Old Trafford
Liverpool had so much of the ball in the opening 25 minutes of the second half of normal time.
This was just one moment among many where the Reds failed to capitalise and in the end, it absolutely cost them.
Klopp was right to be annoyed at Gakpo here. If he had done things differently and made the right call, then Liverpool could have been out of sight before United even had a chance to come back.
