"Ouch!"
Suddenly, a cry echoed across the field, capturing everyone's attention.
This time, no one was injured, but Andy Carroll, backed against Koscielny's defense, fell to the ground while turning around and spread his hands towards the referee.
"Beep!" The referee didn't hesitate, pointing to the penalty spot, ruling Koscielny for pulling and committing a foul.
"Me?!" Koscielny spread his hands, with a look of disbelief, and rushed towards the referee at lightning speed.
"Yeah.....!" A shout came from Anfield Stadium, as Liverpool fans waved their hands excitedly. A penalty kick was essentially no different from a goal.
They played a defensive counterattack today, aiming to score one or two goals without conceding any, and achieve a minor win!
Once this tactic proved feasible, they could bring it to the Emirates Stadium for the second leg, playing a counter-offensive game in their favor with a lead.
