"Szoboszlai" expressed deep disappointment, citing three reasons for Liverpool's heavy 0-4 defeat to Manchester City and subsequent FA Cup elimination.
On 4 April 2026, Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai spoke after the FA Cup quarterfinal loss to Premier League rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, 0-4, ending hopes of winning two trophies this season.
Liverpool still has a chance to win the UEFA Champions League but will face defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, and must also compete for a UCL spot next season against Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Chelsea. Currently, the Reds sit fifth in the Premier League standings.
Dominik Szoboszlai opened up after Liverpool's heavy defeat to Manchester City, citing three reasons for the lopsided scoreline: "I don't know. When you do something and it doesn't work, it means nothing."
"We had chances but missed them. We conceded an easy penalty. Losing 0-4, we shouldn't have let in so many goals. There's nothing more to say."
"Winning here is tough. After falling behind 0-1, you still believe, but going down 0-2 was our own fault, conceding another goal just before halftime. Being two goals down, chances kept decreasing."
"When you come out to play again wanting to show you can come back, you concede the third goal, and then there's no chance to recover."
"What was missing was enough fighting spirit and readiness of mind. None of us were fully prepared. It's a difficult time, but we must stay united."
"We have another opportunity this Wednesday (UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first leg away at PSG), but we must stay focused. This is not how we wanted the season to end."
"Why we lacked determination? That's a good question. I honestly don't know. I have no words. We really wanted to win this game. Losing 0-4 to City is not a good result."
"Regarding trying to come back and win in the Champions League, our last chance for a trophy this season: we must forget the past as much and as quickly as possible, then keep fighting."
"I always say, when we perform well, we win; when we don't, we lose. You have to fight, work hard, and support each other — and sometimes that's what we lacked."
