Liverpool’s Andy Robertson Makes Blunt PSG Claim That Puts Premier League Clubs to Shame | OneFootball

Liverpool overcame a first-half deficit to secure a 3-1 comeback win over Southampton on Saturday at Anfield. Despite the victory, manager Arne Slot admitted the performance lacked the level of intensity he expected.

Southampton stunned the home crowd with a goal in first-half stoppage time, raising concerns that the match could turn into a trap game for the Reds, who may have been looking ahead to Tuesday’s Champions League second-leg clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Liverpool responded strongly after the break, netting three unanswered goals to seal the win. Darwin Nunez leveled the score early in the second half before Mohamed Salah took over, bagging a brace to complete the comeback.

The Reds will now aim to carry that momentum into Tuesday’s decisive clash as PSG visit Anfield, hoping to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.

Looking ahead to the final 90 minutes, Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson acknowledged the challenge ahead, admitting the Reds have yet to face a team as strong as PSG this season. Luis Enrique’s squad left a strong impression in the first leg, pushing the Premier League leaders to their limits.

“They showed how good they can be, an exceptional team – probably the best we have played this season,” the Scottish international tells the Liverpool Echo. “We will have to play better as we can’t rely on Alisson playing the game of his life every game.

“Of course. It’s a game we’re not overly-used to in terms of how big the difference in possession was, how many shots they had and how many shots we had.”
