Arne Slot’s Masterclass and Subs Save the Day …
Who would have thought you could win with just two shots on target? Liverpool, apparently! On a bizarre Champions League night against PSG, Liverpool pulled a rabbit out of the hat with some help from Alisson Becker, who was as busy as a one-man firefighter team extinguishing all of Paris. With a record-breaking number of saves, he turned this game into his personal highlight reel – add popcorn, and it’s a must-watch!
But let’s not forget the real sorcerer, Arne Slot, waving his magic wand—or substitution board. Arne decided to roll the dice on Harvey Elliott, taking off an under-the-weather Mohamed Salah. It was a gamble that surely had fans making that face you pull when you miss a penalty in FIFA. Within a heartbeat, Elliott won the game with a goal Africans might call “lightning speed.”
In all fairness, Darwin Nunez and his miraculous-footwork-added-to-goal tally, Curtis Jones knitting the midfield, and Wataru Endo bringing his own set of Kung Fu moves all deserve applause too. With Arsenal barely scrambling players and Liverpool’s bench looking more like a creative chef’s special, wrapping up the title might just be this season’s special offer – buy one, get a Champions League run free!
