Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confessed he would rather win the Champions League this season than retain the Premier League title.
The Reds were among the favourites to win the Champions League last year after finishing top of the league phase, but their reward for that early-season form was a last-16 meeting with a Paris Saint-Germain side who struggled during the competition’s first phase.
After snatching a 1–0 win in the first leg, Liverpool ultimately fell on penalties in the return fixture and could only watch as PSG went on to lift the trophy one month after Slot’s side were crowned Premier League champions.
This time around, a nervy 3–2 win over Atlético Madrid has kickstarted Liverpool’s latest pursuit of European glory, with Slot admitting getting his hands on the Champions League trophy this year would mean a little more than any domestic title.
“If I can only win one, it’s almost impossible, but I would go for the Champions League this time,” he told TNT Sports.
