- Liverpool head coach Arne Slot said the overturned penalty was another decision that had gone against his side, said he could name similar penalties given against Liverpool earlier in the season, and said he was not surprised by it.
- He recalled players at another club complaining about refereeing luck a month earlier, and said that if they felt that way, it was worth remembering how the decisions had gone in both of their meetings with Liverpool.
- Slot said his first-half substitution was not the one he had intended. The player asked to come off because he did not feel able to keep sprinting, so Slot made a different change rather than risk an injury.
- On the injury to Hugo Ekitike, Slot said the pictures did not look good but that he could not say how bad it was, had not spoken to him, and expected the club to assess it the next day.
- He said he had always planned to take his returning striker off at half time, because playing him deep into a game that could go to extra time was not realistic, and said the striker had twice gone close to scoring.
