Jurgen Klopp became the first Liverpool manager to secure 50 European victories, as Liverpool triumphed over LASK in their opening Europa League group stage match. Klopp humorously remarked that “everybody will hate it” if he still has 50 wins after the group stage. This win also propelled Liverpool to the top of Group E. Klopp acknowledged the changing landscape of European competitions and the achievements of past Liverpool managers. This match marked Klopp’s 82nd European game in charge of Liverpool.
