Arne Slot hopes Anfield can spark another Liverpool comeback in Champions League

Arne Slot believes Anfield can help inspire Liverpool to a famous Champions League comeback against Paris St Germain after his team entered “survival mode” to escape the quarter-final first leg with a 2-0 defeat.

Having arrived in France bruised by their 4-0 FA Cup humiliation at Manchester City, the Reds’ passive performance at Parc des Princes could easily have been punished by more than Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s goals.

Under-fire boss Slot knows Liverpool rode their luck in a one-sided first leg in France, where the reigning Premier League champions secured a smash-and-grab 1-0 last-16 win last season.
