It's surprising they flew to the funeral so soon after their title win, I wonder if that disrupted their training more than we realize.

I see your point, but top clubs can adjust schedules. That trip likely fit into their training plan without major setbacks.

I get the emotional toll, but many teams face tragedies and still keep up results, Liverpool surely had more than enough depth to cope.
