Jurgen Klopp’s return to Mainz — a team he played for and managed — was not a happy one as his much-changed Liverpool side suffered a 4-0 loss in their final preseason friendly of the summer.
After Saturday’s 4-0 win over Barcelona, the Reds’ performance against the Bundesliga outfit in Germany was abject, with goals from Daniel Brosinski, Jhon Cordoba, Yunus Malli and Yoshinori Muto condemning them to a deserved defeat.
There are further injury worries for the Liverpool boss after midfielder Marko Grujic landed awkwardly on his ankle and had to come off in the 40th minute at the Opel Arena.
