Arne Slot says Liverpool believe they can “do special things” when they welcome Paris Saint-Germain to Anfield in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night.Goals from Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia condemned the Reds to a 2-0 first-leg defeat in the Parc des Princes on April 8, but the Dutchman says the task that lies ahead is “not impossible.”
“First of all, (I will) remind them what the score was. It was 2-0. It felt completely different, as we all know, but the end result was 2-0,” Slot said in his press conference on Monday afternoon.
“Second of all, we’ve shown so many times in big games this season that we are able to get a great performance. We’ve also shown a different face; I’m completely aware of that, but many of our games were very good, especially in big games.”Not all of us have been together for one-and-a-half years, but for those that have been with me in that time, in the 49 home games we’ve played, 46 times we were able to score two goals or more.

“Yes, we did not play in all 46 games against Paris Saint-Germain. I do understand that, but as we all know, the Premier League and Champions League opponents we had over here are also very strong.
“There is a belief we can do special things tomorrow, but we also need to be very, very, very, very, very special to achieve that because we are playing against the champions of Europe, so that makes the task more complicated, but not impossible.”
Slot was then asked about how he was considering setting up his team for the visit of the Ligue 1 leaders – and he admitted the situation meant there would be risk-taking.
