He opened up on a chat he had with the Liverpool boss during the summer, with Slot seemingly hinting that the Reds’ priorities might lie in Europe this season.

Speaking on Sky Sports’ new special Inside: Liverpool, Carragher revealed: "I actually bumped into Arne Slot in the summer when he was away, we were both on holiday, and he was there with his family, and I thanked him for what he'd done for Liverpool last season in terms of winning the league.

"And I'd almost feel like he thinks, 'That's our next step.' "I could feel it the way he said it, 'We've won the league, but we want to win the Champions League' - it was that type of thing. "And it just stuck with me in his head; you can feel he desperately wants it, as all top managers do, but when you're a manager of Liverpool, the club is synonymous with the Champions League, so we have to go close."
