Summary

Did Arne Slot let Liverpool down as the Premier League champions were knocked out by PSG at Anfield? Or did the Reds show positive signs for the future with a much more energetic and competitive performance than in last week’s first leg in Paris?

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, ex-Premier League winger Andros Townsend and French football journalist Julien Laurens join Ian Dennis and Kelly Cates to dissect a thrilling night of Champions League action.
