After an unexpected defeat in the Champions League last 16, Liverpool coach Arne Slot expressed concern about the misfortunes facing his side. Despite being favorites before the penalty shootout loss to Paris Saint-Germain, the elimination opens up the competition. PSG, formerly considered underdogs, now see improved odds for their first title, alongside strong contenders like Barcelona, who advanced easily past Benfica. Other teams like Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa face challenging paths, with low chances of success according to simulations.
"Arne Slot fretted after his Liverpool side were dumped out of the Champions League last 16 by Paris Saint-Germain. The odds had certainly been in Liverpool's favour before that unexpected penalty shootout exit."
"PSG may have finished below Milan and PSV Eindhoven in the league phase table, but their newfound status as Liverpool's conquerors has swollen their chances of winning the club's first-ever Champions League title."
