"It was all I could ask for, Slot said. The fourth game in 10 days, I'm not sure you see that a lot in football, with only 14 outfield players available with Premier League or Champions League experience, after the blow we had conceding the 3-3 in Leeds, then to go into this stadium against such a strong Inter team we couldn't have asked for more. We hardly gave away a chance."
"The first one came just before halftime after we had to accept a referee's decision [to disallow an Ibrahima Konate goal] that could have gone any way, but that's been the story of our season. We showed a great mentality. We were close to scoring with Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike, then we get a penalty that if that was a penalty we would have had 10 this season."
Arne Slot praised Liverpool’s players for their commitment after they overcame Mohamed Salah’s absence and internal controversy to beat Inter at San Siro. Dominik Szoboszlai converted an 88th-minute penalty awarded for Alessandro Bastoni pulling Florian Wirtz, a decision Slot suggested might not be given in the Premier League. Liverpool managed a congested schedule with only 14 outfield players with top-level experience and had recently conceded a 3-3 draw at Leeds, yet defensive discipline limited Inter chances. Slot referenced contentious refereeing decisions, near-opportunities from Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike, and clarified remarks about Salah and a suggested apology following Clarence Seedorf’s comments.
