Turkish Football Federation President Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu criticized Liverpool following the Champions League group stage draw, stating that the team "is not the old Liverpool." Speaking to TRT Spor after the draw in Monaco, where Galatasaray was drawn in the same group as Liverpool, Manchester City, and other clubs, Haciosmanoglu expressed confidence that Galatasaray had a favorable draw and could advance from the group.
He said, "Liverpool is not the old Liverpool." and added, "Galatasaray had a good draw. I believe they will qualify from the group… there is Liverpool, but Liverpool is not the Liverpool of the past. In my opinion, they had a good draw."
These comments come at a time when Liverpool enter the Champions League as Premier League champions under new management with Dutch coach Arne Slot, who led the team to the title in his debut season. The remarks are likely to be noted at Anfield, especially given the recent success Liverpool achieved domestically.
