"The last part of the game was about surviving for us, this was a 20-25 mins where we were only defending and it's better to save his energy for the upcoming games."
"The nature of the match, especially the final period, forced my side into survival mode, making it impractical to risk introducing one of my most important attacking players."
Liverpool manager Arne Slot chose not to introduce Mohamed Salah during the final stages of a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. He emphasized that protecting Salah's fitness was a strategic decision rather than a tactical error. The match's closing moments saw Liverpool focused on damage limitation, with PSG's attacking pressure forcing them into a defensive stance. Slot believed that bringing Salah on would have provided minimal tactical advantage given the circumstances, prioritizing his energy for future matches instead.
