Liverpool boss Arne Slot (Picture: TNT Sports) Arne Slot was keen to remind Paris Saint-Germain how close Liverpool came to beating them last season as the two sides prepare to meet again in the Champions League. Liverpool booked their spot in the competition’s quarter-finals with an impressive 4-0 home win against Galatasary at Anfield.

Mohamed Salah, who missed a penalty in the first half, then scored a brilliant effort to complete Liverpool’s 4-0 win. Slot’s side now face the defending champions in the last eight after Luis Enrique’s side dismantled Chelsea over two legs to win 8-2 on aggregate.

The two sides did come to blows last year, with Liverpool ultimately knocked out on penalties despite an impressive 1-0 away win in the first leg.
