"It was the best game of football I have ever been involved in. It was an incredible performance, especially if you compare it with last week," said Slot.

The Reds escaped the Parc des Princes with a 1-0 lead last week despite being battered by the French champions, who came up against an inspired Alisson Becker in the Liverpool goal.

"If we had a draw over here we would have already been the lucky one. That is clear for everyone," Slot accepted after his side withstood a pummelling from the hosts in Paris.
