Liverpool manager Arne Slot freely admitted his team was “very, very, very lucky” in their 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain. Outplayed for most of the match, Liverpool claimed the victory through a late Harvey Elliott strike.
Slot conceded PSG’s dominance, stating, “If we had drawn, we would have already been lucky.” He also referenced Michael Jordan’s famous quote: “The harder you work, the bigger luck you have.”
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker was the hero of the hour, making nine crucial saves to keep PSG at bay. Slot hailed him as “the best goalkeeper in the world,” crediting his heroics to the unexpected victory.
While luck had a role to play, Slot emphasized the effort and determination of his team, demonstrating how hard work can turn the tables on luck.
