#3 Liverpool's front three failed to stamp their authority
Liverpool did manage to create a stream of chances throughout the game but most of the credit for that has to be afforded to their midfield trio of Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson, and Georginio Wijnaldum, all of whom were immense on the night.
Mo Salah's reputation as a goalscorer can also act as an inhibitor for the Egyptian as was seen on the night. Bayern prepared well for the Liverpool No.11 as they almost always succeeded in nullifying his runs forward.
Salah never managed to get into his stride, getting marked by multiple players whenever he ambled forward. Besides the underwhelming shot from Henderson's through ball and the missed header in the first half, Salah failed to concoct anything meaningful for the hosts.
Roberto Firmino was no better either. The Brazilian was involved in a few plays towards the end of the first half but that was all about it for him. Sadio Mane, on the other hand, always got into good positions but was either thwarted by some astute defending or was guilty of committing horrendous howlers on his end.
With Liverpool's triumvirate failing to make the desired impact on the game, it was hard to see Jurgen Klopp's side get the better of Bayern which is what happened in the end.
