Can it be said? "Frimpong" fires a sharp remark that "Liverpool" still has a chance at the title before facing Qarabag in the UCL.
On 28 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Jeremy Frimpong, Liverpool's right-back, spoke at a press conference ahead of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League league phase final group match. Liverpool will host Qarabag from Azerbaijan tonight at 03:00 GMT+7.
Before this match, Liverpool ranks 4th with 15 points, already securing a playoff spot as a seeded team, and still aiming to finish in the top 8 to automatically advance to the round of 16. Qarabag is 18th with 10 points and also still has a chance to advance.
Liverpool hopes to erase the disappointment from their recent 2-3 away loss to Bournemouth, which ended their 13-match unbeaten streak (7 wins, 6 draws). Their chance to win the 2025-26 Premier League is now slim, sitting 6th with 36 points from 23 matches, trailing leader Arsenal by 14 points.
Jeremy Frimpong was asked by the media about Liverpool’s performance this season and their chances for success, given they appear unlikely to defend their Premier League title. He replied, "I think sometimes football is like this. Sometimes things go as we want, sometimes they don’t."
"Of course, we give our best effort in every game, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. That’s all I can say about the recent results."
"But in the Champions League, we have done well. We are in a good position. If we win this game, we can advance to the round of 16. So we are very focused on that."
"(Regarding what would be considered success for Liverpool this season) We are still in the FA Cup and Champions League, so if we win both, we would be very happy."
