'Now we hope our fans at Anfield will help us a lot'

Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to TNT Sports after Wednesday's Champions League win against Paris St-Germain:

"There were a lot of similarities with our game against Manchester City, where we faced a team that is so good in ball possession and have some great wingers that dominate one v one situations.

"I said before the game that we would not dominate ball possession over here. The only thing I can blame my players for is that four, five or six times we tried to play through them and it was completely open and the last touch should be better.

"Maybe it was due to tiredness from defending so much. That is sometimes difficult after defending so much.

"If you look at the underlying stats in the Champions League too, it shows you they were number one and they have already played Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Arsenal. To have the best stats after facing that quality tells you a lot.

"For us, the only way over here with their fans behind them was to defend as we did. Now we are hoping that our fans at Anfield will help us a lot. We will need Anfield two times."
