The 2022-23 campaign was a season of bitter disappointment and stark transition for Liverpool as The Reds ultimately finished a challenging 5th in the Premier League, missing out on Champions League football for the first time in seven years. Despite the collective struggles, the season was anchored by the elite form of Mohamed Salah, whose 19 league goals (30 overall) led the team, and memorable highlights like the historic 7-0 thrashing of rivals Manchester United and a record-breaking 9-0 win over Bournemouth. Manager Jürgen Klopp oversaw a late-season 11-game unbeaten run that proved too little, too late, marking a defining chapter that necessitated a major midfield rebuild for the club.
