Cody Gakpo has warned Liverpool must keep focus after making it three wins out of three in the Champions League with Wednesday’s 1-0 victory away to RB Leipzig.
Darwin Nunez’s first-half goal was enough to bring another three-point haul, although Liverpool needed big saves from Caoimhin Kelleher at the end to stay in front as Leipzig caused them plenty of problems both early in the game and at the end.
The win means that Liverpool are, alongside Aston Villa, one of only two teams to have taken maximum points from their first three Champions League games in the new format. “Obviously it’s the Champions League, a different set-up, maybe some more difficult games,” Gakpo said. “We started off very well but there’s a few more matches in the group stage, so we are not done yet and have to stay focused.
But it shows the good start of us.” The win saw this Liverpool side become the first in club history to win their first six away games of a season, and the first to have won 11 of their opening 12 games.
