Liverpool continued their way to the Premier League title last weekend after recording the victory over Southampton.
The healthy advantage of the Reds at the top of the table is safe because they set a ruthless pace in the division. The largest week of the Arne Slot season, however, is now waiting with cup success on the horizon.
First Liverpool will be charged with defending their lead on Paris Saint-Germain to make the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Then there is the small issue of a visit to Wembley, where a victory over Newcastle will earn his first trophy since he took the lead at Anfield.
That said, Spiegelvoetbal looks at the latest news and rumors around the club.
Slot's anger
Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed that Baas Arne Slot was a lot angry when Liverpool entered the dressing room with 1-0 against Southampton. The Dutch coach had the opportunity to immediately give his opinion about his performance during the break after he was forced to look out of the stands because of his ban.
The vice-captain of the Reds believes that his boss's reaction was justified, but thinks it is a good sign that his team could overcome, despite their level of performance.
“Probably the most (angry) that we have seen him so far, I think it's good that he is not too animated so far, but I think about it lawfully,” said Alexander-Arnold.
“It was not good enough, we deserved to go down, but we arrived the second half with a point to prove and did it very early. As a team and individuals you would like to be very good every game, but it is not possible.
“You are going to have such days where you are not playing well, you are not proud of the implementation. It is a day that you look back on and think we have the three points, that's the most important thing. “
PSG Rest
Paris Saint-Germain sent a warning to Liverpool, prior to their Champions League collision in Anfield, and rested their stars in Ligue 1. Luis Enrique brought eight changes to his side and seemed to give priority to the European meeting after starting without Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf, Achraf, Achraf, Achraf, Achraf, Achraf, Vitinha, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, khvare, ,, ,,, khvare, Khvare. Dembele.
The French side still came away as a victor against Rennes, away from home. Enrique has already captured the glove, because PSG tries to overcome their 1-0 deficit.
“I think we are in the best possible form for the Liverpool game,” said Enrique. “We have nothing to lose. Our only goal is the victory and that is what we are going for.
“Football causes surprises; It is true that we were down and sad after the first match, but because we analyzed the game and after beating Rennes, a difficult team, it makes us hopeful. I repeat, we have nothing to lose, which makes us a more dangerous team than we are usually. “
Elliott -PloDooi
Liverpool Ace Harvey Elliott hopes that Mo Salah will stay with the Reds after the end of his current contract. The Egyptian star enjoys his most productive season since he arrives at Anfield, but must not yet agree with the news conditions, with his deal to expire in the summer.
After a brace against Southampton, Elliott was happy to praise his teammate whose efforts are 32 years old. Salah is at the top of the Premier League scor cards and has already tied the record in one season for the most target contributions.
“I said too much about him, he just continues to prove that the whole world is wrong every season,” said Elliott.
