Liverpool won 4-0 to overturn first-leg deficit

‘This performance gives me confidence’

Arne Slot said Liverpool’s emphatic comeback against Galatasaray should inspire confidence for their Champions League reunion with Paris Saint-Germain and set a standard for the rest of the season.

Liverpool comfortably overturned a 1-0 first‑leg deficit to set up a quarter-final against PSG, who beat Slot’s team on penalties in the last 16 last season en route to winning the Champions League for the first time. As was the case last season, the first leg will be at Parc des Princes with the return at Anfield.

“When you get to the latter stages of the Champions League you know you will face PSG, they are an incredible team,” Slot said. “We experienced that last season when we faced them away from home in a very difficult game. Here at Anfield we played a fantastic game.
