Liverpool’s captain, Virgil van Dijk, apologized for handing their championship rivals an early edge and commented that their stalemate with Manchester United “feels like a loss.”

The only reason the Reds led 1-0 is because of Luis Diaz’s incredible effort, even though they dominated the first half.

United responded with two goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo, but Mohamed Salah’s late penalty kept Liverpool in the game.

Though leading by twenty-five points and having missed a number of excellent opportunities, Van Dijk was far less victorious than his manager at the conclusion of regulation.

The BBC quoted him as saying, “It feels like a loss, it is our fault again.”

Jurgen Klopp was disappointed but pleaded for calm as his side now look to get back on track

Despite his disappointment, Jurgen Klopp asked for composure as his team looked to get back on track.

“We need to win the game because we had so many opportunities.”Unfortunately, even though we had plenty of time to fix the individual equalizer issue, we hurried to do so.

“Even though we were behind 2-1, we still produced a lot.”

Before Van Dijk’s center defense partner Jarell Quansah bungled his pass and allowed Fernandes to equalize, Van Dijk and his teammates feel they should have made United pay on the opposite end.

Regarding the amount of chances that were lost in the first half, the Dutchman said, “We should have been up 2-0 at least, but in football unfortunately if these things don’t happen you give them the impression they could come back and it happened.”

Van Dijk expressed little interest in discussing if Quansah was still impacted by his mistake when the question was posed.

He went on, “He shouldn’t feel bad.”

“Everyone who plays football makes mistakes; the only thing you can do is learn from them.”

Even yet, Klopp was eager to instill calm at the final whistle, stating that the title fight is still very much alive despite their draw with their fierce rivals.

Regarding the amount of wasted opportunities in the first half, Klopp said to Sky Sports, “We were in a bit of a rush – I’d have loved us to take an extra touch.”

You must always learn new lessons from the game.
