Andoni Iraola's Liverpool suffered a 3-2 defeat at Fenerbahce, surrendering their 100% Champions League record. The loss extended Liverpool's winless run in Türkiye to one victory, one draw and seven defeats. The visitors twice led through Trey Nyoni and Alexander Isak, but conceded four sloppy set-piece goals.
Mason Greenwood and Archie Brown leveled the scores before Vedat Muriqi's 79th-minute winner. Liverpool's defensive frailties from last season resurfaced despite prior improvement. Iraola fielded five changes from the starting XI, yet insisted the result stemmed from individual errors rather than rotation.
The defeat marked Liverpool's first back-to-back losses since Sunday's reverse to Arsenal, dealing a significant morale blow. Iraola praised his side's attacking threat but emphasized the need to tighten set-piece defending ahead of crucial fixtures.
