Jobs done, it was time to watch his previous club torment Sunday’s opponents.

“What made this game special for me was sitting at home, putting the volume up and hearing the Feyenoord fans singing my name,” said Slot of his former team’s remarkable Champions League comeback against Manchester City.

He is worrying City.

The 46-year-old has never met Pep Guardiola nor faced the reigning Premier League champions in his managerial career.

Slot has seamlessly shifted any anxieties Liverpool might have harboured over the post-Jürgen Klopp era on to their Premier League rivals.

Liverpool’s head coach stated at the start of the season that his immediate target was to reduce the gap to City and Arsenal.

Not that Slot will buy into the idea that the threat from the Premier League champions of the past four years is diminishing.

“For me as a Feyenoord fan, I could hardly believe what I saw,” he said of Tuesday’s TV viewing.

A fifth successive win in the Champions League also brought a 10th clean sheet of the season.

Slot’s team have kept an unmatched six clean sheets in 12 Premier League matches and conceded only 12 goals in 19 games compared with 18 at the same stage of last season.

City have kept two clean sheets in the Premier League, their lowest tally since Guardiola’s first season in charge.

Slot has no interest in replacing Klopp as the great rival to City’s most successful manager.
