Usually in football, moments that hurt you most are just before half-time and just after."So, you go in at half-time, for large spells of the game feeling you went toe-to-toe with City but then you are 2-0 down. Then immediately after half-time you concede the 3-0.Arne Slot, head coach of Liverpool, in the dugout at the Parc des Princes.(Image: Liverpool FC via Getty Images)"Then five minutes in between — and we had two big chances from Mo [Salah], by the way — where it was too open, players were struggling."The good thing for us was that after the 4-0, Manchester City seemed to be OK with the 4-0 and we had the ball and constant ball possession but were not able to create that much anymore."I didn't see players giving up in that part of the game, but I think it is also good from captain that he has a strong and firm reaction after a game like that."Hopefully it's not only immediately after the game, but we can — as a team — show a strong and firm reaction tomorrow evening.Get LFC's 2025/26 season home and away kitsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

But that's the beauty of football — in the 85th minute we scored a goal where it was almost like, 'This was robbery!'"Liverpool starting XI: Mamardashvili; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Frimpong, Ekitike, Wirtz.
