Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has reportedly expressed serious concern after discovering the club’s Round of 16 opponent in the competition.
Speaking candidly after the fixtures were announced, Gerrard did not hide his frustration:
> “When I saw the fixtures this morning, I knew quite okay that we are already out of this competition because there’s no way Liverpool will defeat them.”
Those strong words have sent shockwaves through the fanbase, with many supporters stunned by the former captain’s lack of confidence in the Reds’ chances.
A DRAW TOO TOUGH TO HANDLE? 🤯
The Round of 16 stage is never easy, but this particular matchup is being described as one of the toughest possible draws Liverpool could have received. Gerrard’s reaction suggests he believes the opposition may simply be too strong for Arne Slot’s men to overcome.
With Liverpool fighting on multiple fronts this season, the pressure is now mounting ahead of what promises to be a blockbuster European showdown.
FANS DIVIDED 🔥
While some fans agree with Gerrard’s assessment and fear an early exit, others believe Liverpool thrive under pressure and have a history of proving doubters wrong on the biggest stage.
One thing is certain — this tie just became even more dramatic after Gerrard’s explosive comments.
Will Liverpool silence the critics… or is a painful European exit on the horizon? 👀💭
