UCL: Why Liverpool lost against Real Madrid – Steven Gerrard

Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard has questioned the quality in Liverpool’s midfield after they lost against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final.

He has urged Liverpool to sign a midfielder after their Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid.

And it has to be a midfielder that scores goals Gerrard believes.

He said: “Liverpool, if you think about the next five, six, seven years, they’re going to need a midfielder, an eight, who can get goals, who can get double figures.

“They are heavily reliant on the front three – or the front five if you include Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino.

“But you always need one of those midfielders that’s going to get in the box and get you goals.”
