Slot Admits Liverpool Were Outplayed by PSG Despite First-Leg Win

Posted : 06 March 2025

Liverpool manager Arne Slot admitted that Paris Saint-Germain dominated the game on Wednesday, despite his team securing a fortunate 1-0 victory in the Champions League. Substitute Harvey Elliott became the hero with an 87th-minute winner, finding the net just moments after coming on.

 

Liverpool's success was also heavily reliant on goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who made crucial saves to withstand PSG’s relentless pressure. While pleased with the result, Slot acknowledged that the team must deliver a significantly better performance in the return leg at Anfield.

 

Looking ahead to next Tuesday’s second leg, Slot emphasized that PSG will remain confident of overturning the deficit. He pointed out that while the result was positive for Liverpool, their performance was far from convincing.

 

Slot expects PSG to take encouragement from their dominance in the first leg, making the upcoming match a challenging contest. He stressed that Liverpool will need to raise their level considerably if they hope to advance further in the competition.

 

Slot also highlighted the importance of home support at Anfield, not just for the PSG match but also for their Premier League fixture against Southampton on Saturday. He noted that the relentless schedule in English football means his players require the backing of the fans to maintain their energy levels.

 

With Liverpool playing continuously for months, Slot believes the crowd’s influence will be crucial in helping the team push through a demanding period.

 

The Dutchman praised the contributions of Elliott and Darwin Núñez, both of whom made an impact off the bench. He acknowledged that Elliott has limited opportunities due to competition in the squad but credited the young midfielder for his perseverance.

 

Slot also commended Núñez for bouncing back from two difficult games, stating that his presence made Liverpool more of an attacking threat. Their performances, he noted, were key to Liverpool’s ability to snatch a late victory.
