Liverpool's Arne Slot Urges Fans to Boost Team in PSG Rematch
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has called on his team's fans to play a pivotal role in their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield. The Reds are seeking to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg in Paris.
Slot acknowledged that his team were in survival mode during the first leg, but he believes they can still progress to the semi-finals with the help of their home fans. Luis Enrique's PSG side dominated the first leg, with goals from Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia putting them in command of the tie.
Slot highlighted the importance of Anfield's atmosphere, stating: 'We will need to have a better performance and we definitely need our fans to help us create an atmosphere where we can rise to a better level than we did today.'
The Liverpool manager drew inspiration from their previous Champions League comeback against Galatasaray in the last 16, and he is confident that his team can repeat the feat with the support of their fans. 'Our fans do make a big difference for us,' he added.
Luis Enrique, the PSG coach, expects his team to 'suffer' at Anfield but remains committed to their positive approach. 'We are going there to win and to qualify,' he said.
