Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot expressed disappointment over teenager Amara Nallo's red card in their 3-2 Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven. Nallo's dismissal came shortly after his debut, marking the youngest ever Liverpool player sent off. Despite the loss, Liverpool secured a spot in the knockout stages, finishing top of their group with 21 points. Captain Andrew Robertson noted the chaotic nature of the final matchday due to a new group stage format. The match saw five first-half goals, with Liverpool twice leading before succumbing to PSV's comeback.
Nallo was shown a straight red after hacking down Johan Bakayoko in the 87th minute, just four minutes after coming off the bench for his senior debut.
It is cruel when you think I'm making my Champions League debut but you go off a few minutes later.
Liverpool still ended the group phase on top of the standings with 21 points and will be one of the strong favourites heading into the knockout rounds.
The new Champions League group stage format had produced 'carnage' on the final evening.
