Comment: Slot channels 'quiet man' Fagan but Enrique's stars bring noise and have final say

Not since Joe Fagan won the League, European Cup and League Cup in his very first season in charge at Anfield in 1983-84, has any manager had the kind of opportunity facing their latest man in charge.

The Champions League trophy will not be heading to Anfield this season following a heartbreaking penalty shoot-out defeat against PSG, but this performance did more than enough to suggest there will many more opportunities ahead for manager Arne Slot.

It is less than seven months since Slot took charge of his first competitive game for Liverpool, but he went into this tie not just with the chance to reach a Champions League quarter-final – but with an opportunity to aim at legend status already.
