Last season, the Reds were knocked out of the competition by the French team after losing a penalty shootout.PSG went on to win the Champions League last season and demolished Chelsea in the last 16 this season, winning 8-2 on aggregate.

"They haven't dropped their standards, but after tonight, they won't be happy to play us."On his team's performance against Galatasaray on Wednesday, Slot added: "I liked the way we played, and I liked the way we pressed."Also, the reaction from the fans when Galatasaray were trying to do what I expected them to, being on the floor and trying to kill the momentum."The only complaint is throughout the whole season we've had so many chances where we've not scored, that's the only thing."The positive thing is we've had good halves and then spells of 10 minutes, where we've usually given a moment for the other team to score. We've not conceded many chances, but we concede goals."But tonight we didn't even concede a chance."Salah's goal was his 50th in the Champions League, making him the first African player to reach the milestone.
