Liverpool head coach Arne Slot admits his side were lucky in their late 1-0 victory over Paris St Germain in the French capital having been dominated for almost all of their Champions League last 16 first leg.

And he credited man-of-the-match Alisson Becker – “the best goalkeeper in the world” – for keeping them in contention long enough for substitute Harvey Elliott to score in the 87th minute with their only shot on target.
