Liverpool at the races! Arne Slot's side soak up Cheltenham Festival atmosphere following Champions League exit as Reds enjoy downtime ahead of Carabao Cup final

Premier League

Fulham

Liverpool

<p>Among the players enjoying a day at the races was Diogo Jota, who dressed the part in a brown overcoat and matching flat cap, embracing the traditional race-day style. Caoimhin Kelleher, the Reds’ backup goalkeeper,<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-sir-alex-ferguson-cheltenham-festival-tv-star-legendary-manager-man-utd-struggles/bltdfc353c91c54110c" target="_blank"> also took part in the festivities</a>. The Irishman opted for a more formal look, sporting a three-piece suit, and was captured celebrating a race outcome. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Meanwhile, Andy Robertson, the club’s energetic left-back, decided to forego the full suit, instead choosing a smart blazer and shirt combination. Rounding out the group was Conor Bradley, who took a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/peter-crouch-slip-up-live-on-air-cheltenham-festival-wife-abbey-clancy-england-striker-leaves-itv/blt117e6a27f65b82a1" target="_blank">more traditional approach</a>, arriving in a coordinated blue three-piece suit, completing his outfit with a slightly darker tie for contrast, as reported by <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-players-party-cheltenham-three-34856799" target="_blank"><em>Daily Star.</em></a></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The trip to Cheltenham came after a gut-wrenching night at Anfield, where <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/harry-kane-ballon-dor-dark-horse-winners-losers-champions-league-last-16-marco-asensio-aston-villa-diego-simeone-atletico-madrid/blt318f9c94ae711385" target="_blank">Liverpool fell short in their Champions League</a> last-16 tie against PSG. The Reds had carried a slender one-goal advantage into the second leg but were soon undone by an early defensive misunderstanding between Ibrahima Konaté and Alisson Becker. The two teams remained deadlocked after 120 minutes, leading to a tense penalty shootout. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mohamed-salah-liverpool-talisman-caught-snubbing-darwin-nunez-crucial-champions-league-penalty-miss-psg/blt60e4172b623b7602" target="_blank">Darwin Núñez and Curtis Jones</a> both saw their spot-kicks saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma, allowing PSG to claim victory and book their place in the quarter-finals.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>With their European campaign over, Liverpool will now set their sights on Sunday’s Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium, where they will take on Newcastle United. The Reds will be eager to bounce back from their midweek setback by securing their first silverware of the Slot era. </p>
