The 2022–23 season was Liverpool Football Club's 131st season in existence and their 61st consecutive season in the top flight of English football. Coming off their 2021–22 campaign, Liverpool competed in this season's editions of the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League.

Liverpool kicked off the season with a 3–1 victory over reigning Premier League champions Manchester City in the FA Community Shield for their 16th Community Shield and 68th official trophy, the latter being an English record. Furthermore, that piece of silverware completed the set for Jürgen Klopp, as he had won all available first-tier trophies with Liverpool.[1]

After narrowly missing out on a possible quadruple the previous season, the 2022–23 campaign was a bitter disappointment for Liverpool. Inconsistent form in the Premier League ruled them out of the title race, whilst the Reds were knocked out of both cups in the fourth round. Liverpool's Champions League campaign also ended in disappointment as they lost 6–2 on aggregate to Real Madrid in the round of 16. Despite a 11-game unbeaten run in the league at the end of the season – including 7 straight victories – this was not enough to secure a top-four position and Liverpool ultimately finished 5th, failing to qualify for the next season's Champions League for the first time in seven years. Overall, the team's form was poor all season, which spurred major changes in the squad for the following campaign.

This season was the first since 2015–16 without Sadio Mané, who transferred to Bayern Munich. At the end of the season, it was announced that Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keïta were confirmed to leave the club as their contracts would not be renewed.[2]

Season overview[edit]

On 30 July 2022, Liverpool opened the 2022–23 season by achieving victory in the 2022 FA Community Shield with a 3–1 win over Manchester City.[3] On 27 August 2022, Liverpool achieved a 9–0 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League in which Roberto Firmino scored his 100th goal for Liverpool.[4] The match was the joint-largest win in the history of the Premier League,[5] and equalled Liverpool's biggest ever win in the top flight, achieving the same scoreline at Anfield in the 1989–90 season against Crystal Palace. The match was also Bournemouth's worst ever top-flight defeat. On 12 October 2022, Liverpool achieved a 1-7 away victory over Rangers in the UEFA Champions League. In the game, Mohamed Salah broke Bafétimbi Gomis's record for the fastest Champions League hat-trick of all time.[6][7]

On 28 December 2022, Cody Gakpo agreed to sign for Liverpool for a transfer fee of between £35.4 to £44.3 million (€40 to €50 million) once the transfer window opened on 1 January 2023.[8][9] On 5 March 2023, Liverpool recorded their biggest ever competitive win against Manchester United with an historic 7–0 victory at Anfield. Cody Gakpo, Darwin Núñez, and Mohamed Salah all scored braces with Roberto Firmino netting the final goal. This surpassed Liverpool’s previous record set in October 1895, a 7–1 victory in the Second Division. Furthermore, this was Manchester United's joint-biggest ever defeat and the heaviest since Wolverhampton Wanderers beat them by the same scoreline in 1931.[10][11] On 10 March 2023, Liverpool announced Firmino would leave Liverpool at the end of the season after he decided not to extend his contract. Klopp stated that he was a "little bit surprised" by the decision but wished Firmino good luck, saying that he would “be grateful forever” for his contribution to Liverpool.[12][13] On 20 May 2023, Roberto Firmino scored his last Liverpool goal at Anfield in a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.[14][15] Firmino also scored in his last ever game for Liverpool on 28 May 2023, being assisted by fellow Brazilian Fabinho.[16]

Aftermath[edit]

Liverpool narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification, with winger Mohamed Salah describing himself as "totally devastated".[17] It was suggested that reasons for their failure to quailfy for the Champions League included the declining form of key members of the team Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho[18][19][20][21][22] and the vast amount of injuries suffered by Liverpool players.[23][24][25] On 21 May 2023, addressing the reality of being in the Europa League next season, Klopp stated that Liverpool would "make [the Europa League] our competition".[26]

After the season ended, many prominent players departed the club. Captain Jordan Henderson left to join Al-Ettifaq for a reported transfer fee of £12 million[27] and Fabinho left to join Al-Ittihad for £40 million.[28][29][30] With the expiry of their contracts, Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all departed the club.[31][32] Following Jordan Henderson's departure, Virgil van Dijk was named as Liverpool's new captain on 31 July 2023.[33][34] Trent Alexander-Arnold succeeded James Milner as vice-captain.[33][34] With a midfield rebuild necessitated, Liverpool duly signed Alexis Mac Allister for £35 million[35][36][37] and Dominik Szoboszlai for £60 million.[38][39] Moreover, with attempts to sign first and second-choice defensive midfielders Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia having failed,[40][41][42][43][44] Liverpool signed Wataru Endō from Stuttgart for £16 million.[45] Upon Endō’s transfer to Liverpool, Klopp stated on 18 August 2023 that he was “really happy” and also commented that the Japanese captain was also a “machine on the pitch”.[46]
