More importantly, Slot’s Reds didn’t have to labor for a positive result with a huge UEFA Champions League second leg looming against PSG at midweek.
Liverpool lost 2-0 to PSG in the first leg and now returns from France in hopes of springing another memorable UCL comeback against a fellow European giant.
We’ll share all of Arne Slot’s words as soon as he speaks from Anfield.
Rio Ngumoha reaction
--------------------
**On his goal:** “Coming back to Anfield with three points was a great feeling. It was a special goal. Robbo made the overlap, created space. I cut inside and hit it inside the far post.”
**On Liverpool giving him the stage for a big career:** “Liverpool for me is the biggest club in the world. To start so young and the manager having belief in me and all the players. I’ve just gotta keep pushing on.”
Andy Robertson reaction
-----------------------
**On Ngumoha:** “He keeps learning, he’s such a good kid. Him and Trey are a pleasure to work with. We can see him improving all the time. He’s got a big future ahead of him.”
**On his first start after announcing this is last year at Liverpool:** “I knew my song would get sung a couple of times. This club means everything to me. That’s a fact. I’ve been nine years. I was a boy one time, and I became a man here. This club’s made me who I am today. I’m just going to try and enjoy every minute.”
