The Liverpool captain scored on the penalty spot in stoppage time.

Heart-stopping suspense is a familiar feeling that Liverpool has brought to fans of this team recently.

Playing at home, being rated much higher than their opponents, Liverpool could not score during the first 80 minutes.

Amid overwhelming disappointment, Liverpool fans seemed to be pulled back from hell when the home team was awarded a penalty.

Liverpool 2-1 Ludogorets

Liverpool is temporarily ranked second in Group B, behind Real Madrid.

Compared to the shocking 0-1 loss to Aston Villa last weekend, Liverpool played more smoothly against Ludogorets.

However, the Red Brigade has not yet shown the speed and ability to attack like they did last season.

Ludogorets were guests but played with confidence.

Balotelli showed his killer instinct despite not playing outstandingly throughout the match.

Lacking sharpness in finishing situations, a red shirt player finally spoke up at the right time.

Liverpool almost lost victory due to an individual mistake.

Just one minute later, the away team’s goalkeeper carelessly fouled defender Manquillo in the penalty area, giving Liverpool a penalty and the winning goal for The Kop.

Squad:

Liverpool: Mignolet;

Goals: Balotelli, 81, Gerrard (pen), 90+2

Ludogorets: Borjan;

Goal: Dani Abalo 90
