Liverpool lost to Paris Saint-Germain, Sloter said it was the most exciting football game he had ever participated in

Liverpool lost to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties in the Champions League round of 16. Despite the regretful elimination, coach Arne Sloter still described the game as "the most exciting football game I have ever participated in."

In this thrilling match, Premier League leader Liverpool lost 0-1 in the second leg at Anfield. The two sides tied 1-1 in the total score of the two legs. In the end, they lost 1-4 in the penalty shootout and missed the quarterfinals.

In the first leg in Paris, Liverpool's overall performance was at a disadvantage, but they won with a lucky goal from Harvey Elliott at the last minute. However, back at home, Paris broke the deadlock soon after the start of the game by Dembele, and Sloter admitted that Liverpool may have run out of luck in the first leg.

"It was the best football game I've ever been involved in," Sloter said. "It was an incredible performance, especially compared to last week. In the first 20 to 25 minutes we were completely dominating the opposition, creating chance after chance, and then all of a sudden we were 1-0 down."

"This may be a reversal, we may have run out of luck, because today's victory or defeat was a matter of millimeters. After 90 minutes, we felt that we deserved more, and we were waiting for the goal to come. Except for one or two threats from Paris in the last five minutes, we played almost a perfect game."

"PSG also played perfectly last week, but they didn't score. This time, we encountered the same situation."

"The first 25 minutes we played were like nothing I've ever seen, they showed extreme aggression and intensity, but when you look back at the scoreboard you're 1-0 down and the goal was unlucky."

"When you give everything you have, the game ends up in penalties and as Dutch we all know how to lose on penalties."

Slot admitted that it was disappointing to be eliminated in such a way: "It feels a bit unfair to be eliminated at this stage. You are at the top of the Premier League, but you have to face an opponent like PSG in the round of 16. But this is also the charm of football. Fans all over the world enjoy this game, and victory or defeat often depends on subtle differences."
