Arne Slot believes Anfield can help inspire Liverpool to a famous Champions League comeback against Paris St Germain after his team entered “survival mode” to escape the quarter-final first leg with a 2-0 defeat.Having arrived in France bruised by their 4-0 FA Cup humiliation at Manchester City, the Reds’ passive performance at Parc des Princes could easily have been punished by more than Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s goals.Under-fire boss Slot knows Liverpool rode their luck in a one-sided first leg in France, where the reigning Premier League champions secured a smash-and-grab 1-0 last-16 win last season.

00:05Probably I have to refer to last season, what gives me the best feeling and I have to refer
00:11to the history of this club, how much impact Anfield can make for a performance.
00:16We were outplayed here last season, which led to a 1-0 win from us, which was unbelievable.
00:25Paris Saint-Germain was by far the better team today, could have scored more than two goals.
00:31But the good thing was that the players of Liverpool today showed fighting spirit, kept
00:37going.
00:40Almost every time when they had the shot, we had a lot of bodies behind the ball or protecting
00:44our box, which was necessary because I already said, if you don't track back, if you don't
00:51run back, these players, like the ones from City, are able to hurt you a lot.
00:58So yeah, last season at Anfield we played a completely different game after 10 minutes,
01:03we could have been already 2-0 up.
01:05But we need to have a better performance and we definitely need our fans to help us to create
01:12an atmosphere where we can rise to a better level than we did today.
