Liverpool lose 3-2 to Turkish side Fenerbahce after the hosts come back twice in Istanbul, ending the Premier League club’s perfect Champions League start after four games.
Several outlets say Andoni Iraola faced questions about his squad changes and in-game defensive structure. Coverage highlights that Liverpool lead twice—through goals credited to Trey Nyoni and substitute Alexander Isak—before Fenerbahce equalise, with Vedat Muriqi scoring the winner in the latter stages. Dirk Kuyt, now linked with Fenerbahce’s interim spell, is also mentioned as the former Liverpool figure involved in the match.
The papers differ in emphasis: some focus on Liverpool’s set-piece or general defensive lapses and the “messy” nature of the goals conceded, while others foreground Iraola’s tactical gamble reshuffling his attack and using Bradley Barcola in a central role. One report characterises the defeat as underlining challenges of managing a squad across multiple competitions.
