Wirtz: This is a great step forward, giving us a good chance to qualify for the Champions League.

After a recent three-game winning streak in the Premier League, Liverpool are in a good position to secure Champions League qualification. German midfielder Wirtz said that the team's goal is not yet achieved, but they have taken a solid step forward.

In a key match of the 34th round of the Premier League, Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 at Anfield after goals from Isak, Robertson and Wirtz broke through the goal.

After securing three crucial points, Liverpool are currently fourth in the standings with 58 points, giving them a strong chance to qualify for the Champions League.

However, this also means that Slaughter's team has no room for error in the remaining games of the season.

22-year-old German star Wirtz said, "We really needed these three points, especially at home, so it's great to keep the win here. We knew how they would play before the game because we've played Crystal Palace three times this season. So we knew they would play a lot of through balls, not take too many risks, and look for deep runs, and I think we defended that aspect quite well."

“They certainly had some chances, but it’s always difficult to completely keep them away from the goal. So I think the whole team played well, and everyone was excellent defensively. At the same time, we know we have the ability to create chances, and we did create some good scoring opportunities, so a 3-1 score is acceptable.”

Speaking about Champions League qualification, Wirtz said, "I think these three points are very important. We know very well how important this game is for securing Champions League qualification. The mission is not over yet; we still have a few games to play, but this is a very good step forward."

In addition, Wirtz said, "Scoring goals is always important as a striker, so I'm very happy for Isak. Hopefully this is just the beginning and he can continue this form."

"Freddy Woodman was incredible in this game. I remember he made two or three top-class saves, and I'm really happy for him. He's a fantastic guy. As for the goal we conceded, he was a bit unlucky. I don't want to talk too much about that goal, but there's no doubt that his performance saved us those three points."
