Arne Slot angers Liverpool fans by saying PSG helped win title
According to Goal, Liverpool fans reacted angrily after head coach Arne Slot suggested Paris Saint-Germain helped the club win the Premier League last season. Slot said the early European elimination allowed the team to concentrate on the domestic campaign, calling the tie with PSG "the best game of football I've ever been involved in" and adding: "Again this is not going to be a popular opinion what I tell you now, maybe the reason we won the league last season is because we played Paris Saint-Germain.
We had a week to prepare for league games (after going out of CL)." The Reds were knocked out on penalties after the two-legged tie finished 1-1 on aggregate. Supporters posted strong criticism on X, with @tdavid22_ writing: "We've been s*** in the league after the PSG game, we won it bc the first half of the season." @NeilLfc_5 said: "He's openly admitting that he can't manage multiple competitions.
How are people still defending this? He's f****** embarrassing." Other posts included @YNWA1980 calling for Slot's sacking and @Samb37153 mocking the idea: "We won the league because PSG beat us hahahahahhagahgahaga his heads gone." Liverpool face Qarabag in the Champions League on Wednesday night and have already secured at least a place in the play-off round.
