Liverpool faced a sudden defeat of 3-2 against Toulouse in Europa League Group E, which was a French team, on Thursday. The English team had a chance to level the score in the last added minute, but unfortunately, it was deemed unacceptable.

The game was at a standstill for 36 minutes until Aron Donnum grabbed the ball in the center of the field. He then made his way into the box and shot the ball, which ended up deflecting off another player and going into the net, giving the hosts the lead. Thijs Dallinga extended their lead in the 58th minute with another goal.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Liverpool scored a goal thanks to Cristian Casseres' own mistake. However, just three minutes later, Frank Magri regained the home team's two-goal lead by successfully kicking the ball into the net from a deflected cross that was delivered from a close distance.

Diogo Jota's move buoyed the Premier League team with a sense of optimism as he deftly maneuvered past opponents and neatly slotted the ball into the lower region of the goal.

During the match for Liverpool, Luis Diaz was not very influential and got substituted by Jota with only nine minutes left. Diaz's dad had been released by kidnappers earlier that day.

Liverpool believed they had secured a tie when Jarell Quansah scored a goal during the final minute of added time. Nonetheless, the video assistant referee (VAR) invalidated it since Alexis Mac Allister touched the ball with his hand before the play occurred.

Klopp stated that he believes our team successfully achieved a third goal during the game. He recalls that the ball was in a challenging spot for some time and is uncertain if it was touched with a hand. Nonetheless, that is the current reality.

Since you possess all of the necessary resources, it is reasonable to expect that you would be able to create even more, but it simply doesn't make sense to allow three goals to be scored against you in this situation.

Klopp's conversation was rudely disrupted by loud applauds and shouts from rejoicing fans of Toulouse.

"The press conference was quite disorganized, similar to our team's planning," remarked the German. "I wonder whose decision it was to hold the conference at this location?"

Toulouse are two points behind Liverpool in Group E, with Liverpool maintaining their position at the top.
