UCL: Why PSG eliminated us – Liverpool manager, Arne Slot
by Ifreke Inyang · Daily PostLiverpool manager, Arne Slot, has admitted that his side “ran out of luck” as they were eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
The Reds won the first leg 1-0 at Parc des Princes, despite the Ligue 1 side dominating most of the game.
However, it was PSG who scored the only goal at Anfield, before the game eventually went to penalties.
Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones both missed from 12 yards, while PSG converted all their four kicks.
“First 20/25 minutes, we were all over them, created chance after chance and all of a sudden we were 1-0 down,” Slot told Amazon Prime.
“Probably it was almost the opposite, maybe we ran out of luck because the margins were so small tonight.
“After 90 minutes it felt we deserved more than being 1-0 down. I was waiting for us to score.
“I don’t think the second half, apart from the last five minutes, when they threatened us once or twice.
“We played the perfect game except from scoring goals, it was the same for PSG last week when they played the perfect game and didn’t score and it happened to us today.”
