Liverpool manager Arne Slot says it is not impossible to beat PSG and progress to the Champions League semi-finals, and believes his side need to be very special to win as the Reds look to overturn a 2-0 deficit. ©UEFA2026 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro. 00:15 - instilling belief: First of all remind them of the score.

I tend to think the brain is not the worst part. My hair is not growing but I can remember a lot. 12:53 - Scoring 3/4 tomorrow: Why you ruining my day. We need an exceptional game which is normal against the Champions of Europe. Let’s focus on the job in hand. 13:58 - Atmosphere: Just as important as our performance. We have to be muc
