Szoboszlai Slams Lack of 'Fighting Spirit' and Sends Warning to Team-Mates
Szoboszlai said Liverpool’s mentality was missing after City scored four times in 20 minutes, and warned the team could miss the Champions League.
- On Saturday, April 4, 2026, Manchester City defeated Liverpool 4-0 at Etihad Stadium, eliminating the Reds from the FA Cup. Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick and Antoine Semenyo added a goal to secure City's semi-final spot.
- Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized his team's defensive collapse during an 18-minute spell surrounding half-time, calling it an 'unbelievable disappointment' and citing a lack of 'fighting spirit' after conceding four times.
- Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai admitted it is 'hard to find words' to sum up the performance, noting the team failed to maintain necessary mentality. He emphasized the group must 'stick together' despite the difficult result.
- Liverpool faces Paris Saint-Germain in a Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, marking their final opportunity for silverware. Szoboszlai warned that repeating this defensive effort could jeopardize their Champions League participation.
- The Reds have won just two of 19 games this season when falling behind, reflecting ongoing struggles with adversity. This 4-0 defeat marked the heaviest loss of Slot's tenure and Liverpool's largest margin since October 2020.
