Liverpool Manager Admits PSG Was the Better Team in Champions League Game
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has admitted that Paris Saint-Germain was the better side in their Champions League Round of 16 first-leg clash on Wednesday.
Slot wasn’t surprised by PSG’s dominance, acknowledging the quality in their squad. The French giants created more scoring chances, but Liverpool managed to escape with a 1-0 win thanks to Harvey Elliott’s late goal.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker was the hero for the Reds, making nine crucial saves and earning the Man of the Match award. Speaking after the game, Slot admitted Liverpool was fortunate to come away with the victory.
“Even if we had drawn, we would still have been the lucky ones. They were the better team today,” he said.
“It’s a great result for us, but we could feel the quality of Paris. Every stat shows they’ve been the best side in the Champions League, so I wasn’t surprised by how good they were.
“We weren’t below our level—it was just their quality. They showed it today. Luis Enrique has built an incredible team here.”
Kylian Mbappé has named former Spanish international Sergio Ramos as his ideal captain, calling him a natural-born leader. In an interview with Canal Plus, the French forward praised Ramos for his commanding presence and influence both on and off the pitch.
“My dream captain? Sergio Ramos,” Mbappé said. “He was born to lead. Whether it’s in the dressing room or on the field, his presence speaks for itself. Even without the armband, it feels like the armband chooses him.”
Mbappé and Ramos shared two seasons together at Paris Saint-Germain, appearing in 51 matches as teammates. The connection between the two clearly left a mark on the 25-year-old striker. Ramos eventually returned to La Liga with Sevilla after leaving PSG. As for Mbappé, he made headlines by joining Real Madrid in 2024 after choosing not to renew his contract with PSG, leaving on a free transfer.
Former Cameroonian player, Geremi Njitap claims that Inter Miami has no chance of winning the FIFA World Cup this season.
The former player shared that despite Lionel Messi being on the team, there is no chance of winning the FIFA cup, he also added that Messi has passed his prime.
“Lionel Messi is no longer young, he is going to come up against great clubs who have great players in the peak of their careers. Does he have a chance of winning it? I don’t think so.”
Ex Chelsea Striker, Tore Andre Flo praises the club for their recent decision on signing in AC Milan goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
The former striker explained the decision as a smart move on Chelsea’s part and highlighted how strong the team’s defense will become.
“It sounds like a good signing to me. A club like Chelsea would improve the squad straight away if there was any doubt [over Robert Sanchez]. To me it sounds very, very smart.”
