Atletico Madrid Champions LeagueArne Slot has given an important update on Alexander Isak’s availability before the clash against Atletico Madrid in Liverpool’s first UCL game of the 25/26 season.
The highest stage of European football is finally back, and the Reds are preparing to face their first big challenge.
Arne Slot is determined to avoid the flaws of the past, like the defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of last season’s UCL.
Slot spoke about Liverpool’s transfer strategy before the Atletico clash, saying: “It’s only a compliment that people say we spent so much, as it shows the players we brought in are very good players.
We did great business, brought in great players and we have already lowered the age of the squad.”
He added: “Sometimes you bring in 27-year-olds as they are already ‘bam,’ but we bring in players who are already ready at 21, 22.
All the money we have spent we have generated by winning the league and selling players, and last season hardly buying at all.”
On facing Diego Simeone’s side, Slot said: “Atletico Madrid has done so well in La Liga with Diego Simeone.
This is a team that is difficult to play against because of the mentality, the team performance, and the individual quality.”
