Arne Slot has welcomed Liverpool’s Champions League Round of 16 draw against Galatasaray, stressing the importance of improving upon their earlier defeat in Istanbul.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed his excitement after the club was drawn to face Galatasaray in the Champions League Round of 16.
The Reds will travel to Istanbul in March, looking to avenge a 1-0 defeat suffered during the league phase.
Reflecting on the challenge, Slot stated: “We know in the away leg we will have to perform better than the last time.”
Slot emphasized the need for focus as Liverpool balances European ambitions with a tight Premier League battle for qualification.
Should they progress past the Turkish side, a potential quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain or Chelsea awaits.
Slot concluded: “But the main feeling is excitement because this is what we worked so hard for in the league stage. We wanted to be here.”
