Andy Robertson explains the reason why Liverpool lost to Man United

Manchester United defeated Liverpool 4-3 in a thrilling match at Old Trafford to advance to the FA Cup quarterfinals, with Amad Diallo scoring the game-winning goal in extra time. For both sets of fans, the game was an emotional rollercoaster, with both brilliant and missed moments influencing the result.

After just ten minutes, Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils took the lead thanks to a rebound that Scott McTominay put United ahead of. Before halftime, though, Liverpool mounted a valiant comeback and turned the deficit around with two goals in as many minutes. First, a deflection goal by Alexis Mac Allister hit the back of the net, and then Mohamed Salah finished clinically.

Liverpool dominated the second half of the match, but they missed their chances to take the lead, which let United re-enter the contest. Late in normal time, United’s substitute Antony tied the score, advancing the game into extra time. In a thrilling finish, Diallo proved to be United’s hero, putting them in the semifinals with a spectacular winner—though he was later sent off for his wild celebrations.

After the disappointing loss against Manchester United in the FA Cup, Andrew Robertson, the stalwart left-back of Liverpool, faced the press in the post-match interview. With a mix of frustration and determination evident in his eyes, Robertson didn’t shy away from addressing the team’s performance.

Andrew Robertson of Liverpool spoke to the media and explained why his team lost to Manchester United in the closing seconds of the game.

He said: “It shoudn’t have gone to extra time in the first place. But credit to Manchester United.”

“We came into this match with high hopes, but unfortunately, we fell short today,” Robertson began, his voice tinged with disappointment. “We had our chances, but ultimately, it was a lack of concentration at a crucial moment that cost us the match.”

He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts before continuing.

“Nunez, one of our key players, made a costly mistake that led to Manchester United’s equalizing goal,” Robertson stated bluntly. “In matches like these, every moment counts, and we can’t afford such errors, especially against a strong opponent like United.”

Robertson’s words were measured, but there was no mistaking his frustration with Nunez’s performance. However, he also emphasized the need for collective responsibility.

“That being said, football is a team sport,” Robertson continued. “We win and lose together as a team. While Nunez’s mistake was costly, we all have to take responsibility for our performance and work together to bounce back stronger.”

As the interview concluded, Robertson’s determination to learn from the defeat and come back stronger was evident. Despite the setback, he remained focused on the challenges ahead, knowing that with unity and hard work, Liverpool would rise above this defeat.
