Liverpool made history in the Champions League for an unfortunate reason

After an outstanding league stage in the Champions League, Liverpool exited the main tournament. It turned out that this was the first time in such circumstances.

Details: Liverpool became the first team to defeat four out of five champions of the top leagues (England, Italy, Spain, Germany, France) in a single season and not win the Champions League.

Previously, teams with such a record invariably won the main European tournament. This feat was achieved by: Real Madrid (1957), Inter Milan (1964 and 1965), AC Milan (1990), and Barcelona (2009 and 2015).

Reminder: In the current season, Liverpool defeated Manchester City in the league (twice 2-0), Bayer Leverkusen (4-0), Real Madrid (2-0), and PSG (1-0). However, in the second match against the Parisians, the "Scousers" lost 0-1 in regular time and 1-4 in the penalty shootout, exiting the tournament.
