The victory marked a much-needed boost for the team, which had struggled with a run of just one win in six games in all competitions. Dominik Szoboszlai stepped up to take the penalty in the 88th minute, securing the win after regular penalty taker Salah was left out of the squad following his recent public criticism of the club. The win propelled Liverpool up to eighth in the standings and put them back in contention for a direct spot in the round of 16. In a nail-biting match, Liverpool's players thought they had taken the lead with Ibrahima Konate's header in the 31st minute, but the goal was ruled out for handball after a lengthy video review. However, VAR intervened in the visitors' favor, spotting a foul by Alessandro Bastoni on Florian Wirtz, resulting in a penalty that Szoboszlai converted. In other Champions League matches, Barcelona and Bayern Munich secured comeback wins, while Chelsea suffered a defeat. Barcelona's Jules Koundé scored two headers in a 2-1 comeback victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, while Bayern's 17-year-old midfielder Lennart Karl continued his impressive start to life in the Champions League with a stunning goal in a 3-1 win over Sporting Lisbon. In other results, Atalanta came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1, while Marseille held on for a 3-2 win over Union Saint-Gilloise. Atletico Madrid also secured a come-from-behind win, beating PSV Eindhoven 3-2, and Monaco earned a 1-0 victory over Galatasaray. "
