Arne Slot backs PSG to win UCL after Liverpool’s 4‑0 aggregate exit
Liverpool manager Arne Slot said Paris Saint‑German have a good chance to win the UEFA Champions League after his side lost 2‑0 at Anfield on Tuesday, confirming a 4‑0 aggregate exit. Slot praised PSG’s quality, pointing to Ousmane Dembele’s brace and his 2025 Ballon d’Or win as reasons the French side can repeat last season’s triumph. PSG had secured a 2‑0 win in the first leg in Paris the previous week, giving them a commanding lead before the Anfield encounter.
The result leaves Liverpool trophyless for the season, as they are already out of the Premier League title race and the FA Cup. Slot admitted Liverpool should have won the second leg but noted PSG’s defence and Dembele’s finishing made the difference. Slot’s remarks were made during his post‑match interview with Prime Video, where he also reflected on Liverpool’s season so far. PSG, who won the Champions League in 2024, now face the semi‑finals with a strong chance to retain the trophy.
With Liverpool now focusing on finishing the league campaign, attention shifts to how the remaining UCL contenders navigate the semi‑finals. For Nigerian football fans following the UCL, will you back PSG in their pursuit of a back‑to‑back title, or hope another side overturns the odds in the semi‑finals?
