- Slot said that for the first time this season, when they hit the woodwork, the opponents' big chance soon after went over instead of in. The performance was the same, but the talk would probably differ.

“…it says a lot about how big of a professional he is…”
- Slot said avoiding the playoffs has been crucial from the start. With three long-term injuries the same players often play; he does not think that is the reason, but it could maybe be why they tire in some games.
- Asked whether Marseille surprised him, Slot said their manager adjusts small things to Liverpool's game plan. That makes these games much more interesting to him than facing low blocks.
- Slot said the player stepped out of training the day before, and they do not expect a long-term injury. He tried in the warm-up but was not able to play, which is why he was not on the bench.
Arne Slot shared his full post-match thoughts after Liverpool’s impressive 3-0 Champions League victory over Olympique de Marseille. The Dutch manager praised his team’s tactical execution and discipline against a difficult opponent with a strong coach and passionate fanbase.
