Liverpool exited the Champions League following a defeat against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield on Tuesday night. Manager Arne Slot selected Alexander Isak to start the match despite the striker's recent fitness concerns, according to Sky Sports. The decision failed to produce a goal as the French champions secured their progression to the semi-finals.
PSG defended their first-leg lead with a disciplined performance in Merseyside. Isak struggled to impact the game before being substituted in the second half, per The Guardian. The result ends Liverpool's hopes of securing a European trophy this season.
Slot now faces scrutiny regarding his tactical choices and his long-term position at the club, following this exit from the competition. Liverpool must now focus on their remaining Premier League fixtures to ensure qualification for next year's tournament. The club has not yet commented on the manager's future status, according to official club communications. PSG will face their semi-final opponents later this month, per UEFA.
