Mo Salah didn't play in the first leg, so he's not like some of the players who played last week and then played at the weekend in the Premier League.WORLD CUP LEGENDS: The stars who lit up football's greatest tournament - Buy the Special Edition todayREAD MORE: Wayne Rooney points finger at Liverpool 'leaders' over no show after PSG lossREAD MORE: Alan Shearer slates Alexander Isak as Liverpool star taken off early in Champions League exit"He played in the Premier League, he scored a goal, he's still one of Liverpool, probably Liverpool's best goalscorer.

I don't think Arne Slot would, but is it because he's already announced he's leaving? Have your say in the comments section."I don't know, it's the only thing I can think of, but even that doesn't make sense, because it's about the here and now, so I'm flabbergasted Mo Salah's not playing."Slot explained his decision to bench Salah by saying that he wanted two strikers who Liverpool could 'play into' as they chased two goals.

The Reds boss also defended his decision to start Isak, stating post-match: "I think he was ready and if I thought he wasn't ready, then I wouldn't have played him."The goals didn't come, though, and his side will end the season without a trophy.
