Two first-half strikes from Milan Pavkov, a 24-year-old scoring his first European goals in only his 11th appearance, were enough to beat the off-colour Reds.
A third successive Champions League away defeat, taking into account May's semi-final reverse in Rome, equalled the run of 1979 which was 'achieved' over three seasons, not three successive matches.
It posed plenty of questions for manager Jurgen Klopp, whose decision to leave Xherdan Shaqiri, of Kosovar-Albanian parentage, at home in order to lessen local hostilities, had no bearing on this performance.

30 mins: Red Star 2 - 0 Liverpool
Liverpool have been sloppy so far. They have a corner that comes into the box, the resulting header pushes the ball to Salah on the edge on the area and he boots the ball over the bar.
33 mins: Red Star 2 - 0 Liverpool
Liverpool have upped the tempo a bit. They win two corners and Red Star make two last ditch efforts to clear the ball. Maybe it's not the night for the Reds.
36 mins: Red Star 2 - 0 Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp won't be happy with this performance. Liverpool are creating chances, getting into good areas and moving with pace but they've been poor in front of goal. Lallana dives in on Marko Marin and gets a yellow for a rough challenge.
39 mins: Red Star 2 - 0 Liverpool
It's evident that Liverpool are frustrated with the way this match is going. They're looking to hold onto possession but Lallana is ruled offside and the ball is turned over.
42 mins: Red Star 2 - 0 Liverpool
Mane again beats Stojkovic with his pace and tries to get the ball into the box but the cross is too close to Borjan and he claims it easily.
45 mins: Red Star 2 - 0 Liverpool
Savic challenges Mane and gives away a free kick, Liverpool take it quickly and try to find a way into the box but Stojkovic shuts them out.
There's one minute added time in this first half.
Red Star 2 - 0 Liverpool
Liverpool have been off the pace in the first 45 minutes, they go into the break two goals down and they have a lot to do in the second half.
Rumours have it that Jurgen Klopp will be making a double change at half time. Gomez and Roberto Firmino the two players expected to come on.
SECOND HALF: Red Star 2 - 0 Liverpool
Liverpool have changed to their strongest eleven as Gomez and Firmino are on. The players making way, Alexander-Arnold and Sturridge.
