Giorgi Mamardashvili - Three saves in loss Mamardashvili made three saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 1-0 loss against Galatasaray.

Impact Mamardashvili made three saves on four shots faced while starting for the injured Alisson. It was a decent showing, but the team in front of him didn't offer Mamardashvili any sort of goalscoring help. If he remains the starter for the second leg he will need to shut up shop and hope the team in front of him can pull it back.

Dominik Szoboszlai - Frustrated Tuesday Szoboszlai registered three shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat versus Galatasaray. In addition, he was given a yellow card in...

Impact Szoboszlai only put a single shot on goal during Tuesday's clash, and failed to get much done throughout the match. The midfielder had a solid role on set-pieces as usual, but just couldn't do much with that role. Szoboszlai has been crucial to Liverpool's attack this season and will be called upon in the second leg to try and pull off a comeback.

Joe Gomez - Quiet at right-back Gomez generated four crosses (zero accurate) and three clearances in Tuesday's 1-0 loss versus Galatasaray.

Impact Gomez got the start at right-back on Tuesday and was generally defensive, as usual when he lines up at full-back. The defender's four crosses were pretty disappointing, but he did his defensive duty well. Gomez remain a depth option as a more defensive full-back or a depth center-back.

Milos Kerkez - Quiet in loss Kerkez registered three clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat versus Galatasaray. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 33rd minute.

Impact Kerkez was limited going forward throughout Tuesday's clash, and most of his volume came defensively. It was a day to forget for the most part, as the left-back just couldn't get involved in the attack. It's been a frustrating season for Kerkez and co. as they look to get back to their best.

Ugurcan Cakir - Incredible for win Cakir had seven saves and allowed zero goals in Tuesday's 1-0 victory versus Liverpool.

Impact Cakir stopped all seven shots he faced during Tuesday's win, earning man of the match honors with a brilliant showing. The goalkeeper was astounding throughout the match and now has a goal lead to work with in the second leg. He's likely to be under siege in that match.

Gabriel - Busy in win Gabriel Sara registered one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and six corners in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Liverpool.

Impact Sara took eight crosses during Tuesday's clash, as well as building off six corners. The midfielder was brilliant with his chances and built a solid floor with his good volume. He's likely going to struggle for as much time on the ball during the second leg at Anfield. Still this sort of volume is encouraging moving forward.
