"If there was ever a moment for Liverpool to emphatically restore confidence following the crushing 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth, it came on Wednesday night at Anfield in the Champions League against Azerbaijani side Qarabag. The Reds made no mistake, cruising to a 6-0 win in which nearly every player enjoyed a standout moment. From a potent attack to a defense that kept a clean sheet, it was a completely comprehensive performance- one that has cemented Liverpool's place in the Champions League league phase's top eight."
"It's no small feat, as the Reds can now sit out the opening stage of the knockout rounds, buying valuable time to focus on a top-four push in the Premier League and their FA Cup campaign. With sparkling performances across the board, how did the Reds fare on an individual level? Starting XI: Alisson Becker: 8/10- His services were rarely required tonight, but he still made two solid, decently skillful saves. He must have enjoyed watching his teammates rack up the goals."
"Virgil van Dijk: 9.5/10- A complete turnaround from his poor outing against Bournemouth. He anchored a dominant clean-sheet performance and marshaled a backline featuring two out-of-position players, helping them gel seamlessly. He also grabbed a whopping trio of assists and came close to scoring from a couple of corners, culminating in a commanding MOTM display from the captain. Ryan Gravenberch:"
Liverpool recovered from a recent 3-2 defeat with a dominant 6-0 victory over Qarabag at Anfield.

Individual performances shone throughout the lineup, including Virgil van Dijk’s commanding display with three assists, Alisson’s two solid saves, and versatile contributions from Ryan Gravenberch and Andrew Robertson.
