Mohamed Salah posts damning career-worst Liverpool stat as Reds talisman goes missing in Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle

Liverpool

<p>Liverpool failed to win their first silverware of the 2024-25 campaign on Sunday as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-vs-newcastle-mo-salah-carabao-cup-final/bltaf9a448b7f32c99c" target="_blank">were defeated 2-1 by Newcastle at Wembley</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Merseyside club, who were dreaming of winning three titles this season until the start of last week, suffered <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-big-problems-winners-losers-newcastle-lay-bare-reds-biggest-issues-carabao-cup-final-arne-slot-lack-rotation-dan-burn-thomas-tuchel-england-call-up/blt9118a7bf021db04a" target="_blank">back-to-back heartbreaks at Anfield and Wembley</a>. Last Tuesday, Arne Slot's side crashed out of the Champions League to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties and then went down 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final. The club, however, remain firm favourites to win the Premier League title for a record-equalling 20 times as they continue to enjoy a healthy 12-point lead at the summit.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After consecutive losses against PSG and Newcastle, questions have been raised over the Liverpool players' fitness, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/outplayed-in-their-style-arne-slot-insists-liverpool-s-carabao-cup-final-defeat-newcastle-nothing-to-do-with-running/bltb7d4aeb5cf0d1f38" target="_blank">Slot has batted away that scepticism</a> as he believed the defeat on Sunday had nothing to do with stamina.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Slot will enjoy a much-needed break during the international break to recover from the double blow. His team will be back in action on April 2 as they take on arch-rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby.</p>
