PSG/Liverpool – Slot, “We’re happy to still be alive” | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain won 2-0 against Liverpool (PSG/Liverpool highlights) this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League quarter-finals (second leg on April 14). After the victory, Reds coach Arne Slot spoke to TNT Sports.

Slot: “We can still turn things around at Anfield”

What is your analysis of the result?

I think we are lucky to lose only 2-0. They had chances besides the goals, even if the first one feels harsh since it was a deflected shot when they had not created anything. We can still turn things around at Anfield, which can help us.

Could Mamardashvili’s saves be crucial?

Yes. I watched the match between Bayern and Real Madrid, Neuer was very important. Just like Mamardashvili was for us. You need performances like that, just as you need everyone to defend.

Slot: “PSG put in a huge performance.”

Frustrated not to have had more chances?

Yes, we wanted to create more. But no, because we did not really have opportunities. PSG put in a huge performance. We wanted to press high and it worked a few times, but above all it created chances for Paris.

We had a few promising situations, with one-on-one duels, but that is PSG’s quality—they never stop and they wear the opponent down. We had a similar match in the first leg last year, but the second leg was very different. We are happy to still be alive.
