Virgil van Dijk said Arne Slot was ‘responsible’ for Liverpool ’s FA Cup humiliation by Manchester City, but acknowledged that his team-mates must also take accountability for their performance. The Reds exited the FA Cup in damning fashion on Saturday after Erling Haaland’s penalty and Antoine Semenyo’s strike saw them beaten 4-0.

The Netherlands defender said he was "hurting" after Arne Slot's side capitulated at the Etihad in their four-goal loss.

Liverpool’s captain didn’t hold anything back in a crestfallen interview after the 4–0 defeat to Manchester City.

Isak's last appearance for Liverpool was on December 20, 2026, against Spurs in the Premier League. Mohamed Salah also returns from injury, but Liverpool will be without Alisson Becker, their first-choice goalkeeper. Alisson suffered an injury days before Liverpool's previous match, which was against Brighton in the Premier League.

On what was an emotional night 20 years on from the Heysel Stadium disaster, Sami Hyypia and Luis Garcia struck to secure a precious first-leg win over the Italian champions. Fabio Cannavaro's second-half goal set things up perfectly for the return leg, but Liverpool held out to secure passage to the semi-final. The rest, as they say, is history.
