As Liverpool trailed LASK in their opening Europa League game, fans immediately teased them.
The Reds only managed a fifth-place finish in the Premier League previous season, and as a result, they are currently participating in the secondary European club competition.
The team led by Jurgen Klopp is one of the favorites to win the competition after reaching the championship game in 2016.
The first stop on their European tour was a trip to Austria, live on talkSPORT 2, although the first half was far from ideal.
With a thunderous strike from the edge of the box, Florian Flecker stunned Liverpool and gave LASK the lead.
Rival Reds supporters were on hand to gloat, with one writing on X, “Liverpool losing. Perhaps all they want is to win the Conference League.”
Due to LASK’s goal, Liverpool has only managed one clean sheet in their past eight matches in all competitions.
Klopp made 11 changes to his starting lineup from the weekend victory over Wolves, a move he might come to regret if they lose.
Darwin Nunez, though, equalized the score from the penalty spot early in the second half to spare Liverpool’s face.
