Slots Key Takeaways on Liverpools Performance After Their Victory Over PSG

Liverpool’s head coach, **Arne Slot**, reflected on his team’s victory over PSG (1-0) in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

«There were a lot of similarities to our match against Manchester City, where we faced a side that is exceptional at controlling possession and has outstanding wingers who excel in one-on-one situations. I mentioned before the game that we wouldn’t dominate possession here. The only thing I can criticize my players on is that four, five, or six times, when we had opportunities to play the ball, we failed to deliver a better final pass despite having space in front of us. This might be attributed to fatigue from the significant defensive work. It’s often challenging to transition after prolonged defending.

Looking at the statistics in the Champions League, they sit at the top. They’ve already faced tough opponents like Atletico, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal. Having the best results after playing against such high-caliber teams says a lot.

For us, the only way to cope in this atmosphere, with the support of their fans, was to defend as we did. Now we hope our supporters at Anfield will help us,» expressed Slot, as reported by BBC.

The return leg is scheduled for March 11.
