Overview
- PSG, who beat Liverpool 2-0 on Wednesday in Paris, carry a two-goal lead into the Champions League second leg at Anfield next week.
- Liverpool failed to record a shot on target, posted only 0.17 expected goals, and saw just 26% possession in their worst attacking display of Slot’s tenure.
- Arne Slot said Liverpool were in survival mode late on and explained the switch to a back five to counter PSG’s pace, leaving top scorer Mohamed Salah on the bench.
- PSG coach Luis Enrique said his side deserved more goals and noted surprise at Liverpool’s rare use of a five-man defense.
- Pundits delivered a blistering verdict, with Jamie Carragher likening Liverpool to a lower‑division team and the defeat marking their 16th of the season before the return leg.
