Liverpool news

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has offered an injury update on Mohamed Salah after he asked to be substituted in the second half of Wednesday's Champions League last 16 second leg against Galatasaray. The Egypt international missed a penalty in the game but redeemed himself by bagging an assist and a wonderful goal as the Reds progressed to the quarter-finals.

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard was highly critical of Galatasaray in the wake of Wednesday's 4-0 win for the Reds at Anfield in the Champions League. Arne Slot's side overcame a 1-0 defeat in the first leg to progress 4-1 on aggregate but Gerrard was not happy with the behaviour of some of the visiting players. Liverpool now go on to face Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals.

Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk pulled no punches following his side’s 4-0 Champions League exit at Anfield, labelling the official the "worst in the world." Despite the heavy defeat, Buruk was incensed by the treatment of his star players during the physical encounter.

In the end, Liverpool comfortably secured their place in the Champions League quarter-finals against Galatasaray. Arne Slot couldn’t resist a dig afterwards.

Despite the painfully protracted league phase running through the first five months of the season and the play-off round providing some drama, for many the Champions League doesn't truly begin until the last 16 gets underway. If you are one of those fans, then you likely loved the past week or so of European action.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot thinks Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain will not be looking forward to their quarter-final clash against the Reds. Both teams booked their place in the last eight of the competition this season, with Liverpool downing Galatasaray and PSG knocking out Chelsea. Luis Enrique's side will now face Premier League opposition again when they take on Slot's men next.

Dominik Szoboszlai admitted Liverpool were fueled by "personal" motivation during their 4-0 demolition of Galatasaray. The Hungarian revealed the squad was irked by the Turkish side's celebrations after the first leg in Istanbul.

Jurgen Klopp returning to Liverpool would be a fairytale story for all concerned, but Emile Heskey has explained to GOAL why the enigmatic German tactician will not want to “risk his legacy” on Merseyside. Change in the Anfield dugout is being mooted as Arne Slot struggles to deliver consistency, with it being suggested that a familiar face could be lured back to a spiritual home.

Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah reached a significant milestone in the Champions League on Wednesday night, with both players hitting the 50-goal mark in the competition. The achievement sees the Bayern Munich striker and the Liverpool forward cap off an incredible evening for their respective sides as they each booked a place in the quarter-finals.

Liverpool cruised into the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Wednesday with a 4-0 win over Galatasaray at Anfield. Arne Slot's side made up for last week's 1-0 defeat in Turkey with a dominant showing in front of their own supporters. Dominik Szoboszlai was once again in inspirational form for the Reds, while Mohamed Salah also played a starring role despite missing a penalty in the first half.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is among three key players walking a disciplinary tightrope as the Reds prepare for their crucial Champions League last-16 second leg against Galatasaray. Following a narrow 1-0 defeat in Istanbul, Arne Slot’s side must overturn the deficit at Anfield to keep their European ambitions alive. However, the threat of suspension looms large over the squad, with several starters just one booking away from a costly ban.

Liverpool have stepped up their interest in Alessandro Bastoni, initiating contact over a potential summer move for the Inter Milan defender. With the Nerazzurri reportedly willing to accept a discounted fee of €50 million (£43m/$58m) to balance their books, the Reds have emerged as serious contenders alongside Barcelona. Arne Slot is scouring the market for defensive reinforcements, and the experienced Italy international has been identified as a priority target.

Arne Slot has been warned that Premier League title-winning credit at Liverpool is likely to have expired, with Champions League qualification required in order to avoid the sack. The Dutch tactician oversaw domestic dominance in his debut season at Anfield, but has tumbled off the loftiest of perches this term. Ex-Reds striker Emile Heskey has explained to GOAL what needs to happen in order for the axe to be avoided.
