The ambitious plans of the UEFA Champions League team "Liverpool" will have to be postponed for the future.

The "Reds" did not surpass the tournament's round of 16 barrier, falling to Paris "Saint Germain" after a series of penalties.

However, the English club's manager Arne Slot did not intend to criticize his players.

"Today was the best football match I have ever participated in. I cannot boast a rich history like the 'Liverpool' team, but tonight both teams demonstrated an unparalleled level.

In the first 25 minutes on the field, I saw incredible intensity. I remember how we looked at the beginning of the matches against 'Man City' or 'Real', but today was exceptional. Nevertheless, when I looked at the scoreboard, I saw that we were losing 0:1.

I don't think we deserved to lose after 90 minutes. Considering 180 minutes, perhaps it was fair that we had to play extra time. In the additional time, I think PSG was a little better than us. Then it was time to take penalties and we lost," said A. Slot.
