Overview
- Liverpool drew 3-3 at Leeds and remain eighth in the Premier League, extending a poor run with just two wins in their last ten league matches.
- After a third straight league benching and no minutes at Leeds, Mohamed Salah said he felt the club had “thrown [him] to the dogs” and suggested next weekend’s Brighton match could be a farewell before the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Arne Slot previously insisted he still counts on Salah but, post-match, also admonished Ibrahima Konaté for a penalty-conceding tackle, saying the defense must improve.
- PSG routed Rennes 5–0 as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored a brace and Matvey Safonov, starting in goal, kept a clean sheet with key saves and earned praise from teammates.
- Illya Zabarnyi was a late scratch with illness according to Luis Enrique, who firmly denied any political motive despite media and supporter speculation about the Ukrainian defender not featuring alongside the Russian goalkeeper.
