  • Liverpool suffered a 2-0 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday, with manager Arne Slot admitting they were "lucky" to only lose by two goals.
  • Jamie Carragher criticised Slot's tactical decision to start with a back-five system, stating it made Liverpool more open than a back-four.
  • Carragher defended Virgil van Dijk, who he said looked "uncomfortable" in the new system, instead stating Ibrahima Konate has been “awful all season” and claiming he “makes a mistake every game”.
  • Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored for PSG, giving Liverpool a substantial challenge for the second leg.
  • Carragher expressed deep concern over Liverpool's "startling" decline in performance compared to last season, despite the club's significant transfer spending last summer.
