This then gave Xherdan Shaqiri more freedom to get forwards and help the attack, which then helped Liverpool to get more balls into the forward players.

We can see from this image how Shaqiri took up a role between the Midtjylland midfield and defence, with those two marked by the white lines. This shows the impact he has on his team when in these areas, and the creativity he offers his team in the final third.

You can see how the attackers know to get behind the Midtjylland defence, because that is where Shaqiri will look to get the ball if he can make the pass.

His role as the creative player behind the main forward line is further demonstrated in this image, with Roberto Firmino having come on by now to join Salah and Mane in the usual forward line, replacing Diogo Jota.

All three attackers are now chasing the ball down, and Shaqiri is behind them, ready to pick up the ball if it comes his way.

Liverpool lacked this type of player in the first half, relying on their full-backs to create chances. However, as we have seen, this was something Midtjylland picked up on and prevented in the first half.

Therefore, Liverpool needed to find another way of getting support to the forward line; allowing Shaqiri to get up the pitch to play in the space behind them was one way that they did this.

In conclusion, this game was a tactical battle for both sides, as this analysis has shown. We have seen how Midtjylland started the game well, playing with a clear game plan, and succeeded in keeping Liverpool at bay for the first half.

Real Madrid have also kicked into gear in Spain, leading La Liga with four games remaining, as Zinedine Zidane's second spell in charge finally begins to take shape.

Barcelona, meanwhile, will have another chance to get it right over the summer after a difficult campaign. That could include playing a goalkeeper at centre-back.

All of these sides will look at Liverpool as the team to beat still however, despite what happened against Atletico Madrid at the start of March.

The Reds will also have scope to improve over the summer, even if Klopp doesn't enter the transfer market. Players like Naby Keita and Takumi Minamino can give Liverpool another dimension as they continue their integration.
