Exhausted: Revealing "Slot" caused serious problems after Liverpool lost to PSG in the UCL quarterfinal first leg.
On 9 April 2026, Transfermarkt, a leading football statistics database, revealed troubling news about Liverpool under manager Arne Slot after their 0-2 away defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first leg.
This puts Liverpool in a difficult position to overturn the deficit and reach the UCL semifinals when they host PSG at Anfield next week on Tuesday, 14 April.
This defeat marks Arne Slot's 17th loss with Liverpool across all competitions this season, including regular time and penalty shootouts, matching the total in the 2010-11 season under Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish.
Since 2000, Arne Slot ranks as Liverpool's fourth-highest losing manager, behind Rafael Benítez, who had 19 losses in two seasons, and Brendan Rodgers with 18 losses.
However, the highest number of losses was in the 2004/05 season when Liverpool lost 19 matches but ended successfully, as Rafael Benítez led the "Reds" to win the UEFA Champions League by drawing 3-3 against AC Milan and then winning 3-2 on penalties in the final.
