Unable to secure an advantage in the Champions League quarterfinals, Sloot hopes Liverpool can turn things around at home.

Liverpool, nicknamed "The Reds," suffered a 0-2 defeat to defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie, conceding goals in both halves. In an interview, Sloot stated that Anfield gave him confidence and that the fans would play a crucial role.

In the 11th minute of the match, Due received the ball, broke into the penalty area, evaded the defense, and fired a shot. The ball deflected and flew into the net, giving Paris Saint-Germain a 1-0 lead.

In the 65th minute of the second half, João Neves played a through ball to Kvalatschria, who broke through the defense and fired a low shot into the net, giving Paris Saint-Germain a 2-0 lead over Liverpool.

Ultimately, Liverpool lost 0-2 to Paris Saint-Germain away from home.

Liverpool manager Sloot said, "Looking back at the whole game, I think we were lucky to lose 0-2 because they created more chances than they scored. Although the first goal was hard to accept because they hadn't really created any threats before the ball deflected into the net, they certainly had plenty of chances to score more after that."

“It is very important to us that we are still in this round of the competition and can take them to Anfield. We all know how much Anfield can help us.”

Slott pointed out, "The opponents controlled possession for long periods of time, and the pace and speed of the game were amazing. We could see that we tried high pressing many times, and it worked a few times, but more often they were able to break through our pressure. When we used man-marking, especially in the first half, there were two or three times when they directly put the ball behind us, and similar situations occurred in the second half."

"Last season's experience at Anfield gave me a lot of confidence that we could turn this around. Our performance at Anfield last season was completely different; we could even have been 2-0 up in the first 10 minutes, and our fans will play a very important role."

Slott added, "They have incredible speed no matter where you look at them. Nuno Mendes and Achraf are especially fast on the wings. Whenever we try to press high, that's exactly when they break through our defense, which shows how difficult it is to play against a team like this."

“We always feel we can do better and force our opponents to make mistakes. For most of the game, we're in survival mode. We were the same here last season. They are the better team, but we didn't give up. It's because they missed some chances that we've been able to stay in the competition.”
