Dutch captain blames his teammates and apologises to the fans

The Reds' star put in a lacklustre performance against Pep Guardiola's men

Manchester City winger Antoine Semenyo has been left in awe of Rayan Cherki's technical ability, and described the Frenchman as "one of the world's best" after the pair inspired Manchester City to a statement victory over Liverpool. The duo were in scintillating form at the Etihad Stadium as Pep Guardiola’s side secured their place in the FA Cup semi-finals with a 4-0 rout.

Another disaster for the Egyptian king with Liverpool

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has delivered a scathing assessment of his side's mental fortitude following their bruising 4-0 FA Cup exit at the hands of Manchester City. The dejected skipper suggested that his team-mates may have actually stopped fighting as Erling Haaland and company ran riot at the Etihad Stadium.

Liverpool have been warned that replacing Mohamed Salah with just one player is an "impossible" task. Former England winger Chris Waddle stated that it will be difficult for the Reds to recruit a replacement for Salah, as there are currently few players with the striker's abilities. Waddle suggested Liverpool should sign two players at once, such as Three Lions duo Jarrod Bowen and Anthony Gordon.

Pep Guardiola insisted last month that Real Madrid were not his biggest rivals during his time at Manchester City, instead giving that particular honour to Liverpool. He did at least clarify that he meant Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, which is just as well after Arne Slot's Reds failed to cause Guardiola any stress while he watched his side run out 4-0 winners in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final from the comfort of his seat in the stands.

Dominik Szoboszlai has delivered a scathing assessment of Liverpool’s current form, labelling their campaign "catastrophic" following a demoralising 4-0 defeat to Manchester City. The Hungarian midfielder pulled no punches after the FA Cup quarter-final exit, warning his team-mates that they risk disappearing from Europe’s elite competitions if things don't change immediately.

Dominik Szoboszlai found himself at the centre of a heated exchange with travelling Liverpool supporters following a disastrous 4-0 defeat to Manchester City. The Hungarian midfielder appeared to lose his cool as the Reds crashed out of the FA Cup in humiliating fashion at the Etihad Stadium.

Erling Haaland proved he is back to his best with a hat-trick to dump Liverpool out of the FA Cup. As he showed off the matchball after the 4-0 win, a teammate left a hilariously blunt message, branding him a "big f*cking weirdo" for his relentless scoring.
