The Reds defeated RB Leipzig 1-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday (23.10.24) to win their first six away games in a season for the first time in club history and the coach says his players should take pride in the "almost impossible" achievement.

Slot said: "I think I said before that we should be proud because so many great teams have worn this shirt, so many great players have been at this club.

"To achieve something that was not achieved before is almost impossible at a big club like this.

"To achieve it is always nice but as I said about other records, records are nice but other things are nicer than records and you know what I mean by that – trophies."

Liverpool had to survive some scares against their Bundesliga opponents but Slot acknowledged that away games in Europe always contain an element of difficulty.

The Dutch coach said: "If you play a good team, a big team away, there are always moments in the game and they will have some moments as well.

"The way I looked at this game, for me we had a large part of the game total dominance as we did in all the games except for Chelsea. I’m not worried at all about this game.

"I was a bit more worried after the Chelsea game but this is what I like to see, the team play with much more possession, freeing up the midfield."

The manager added: "Many, many times we played through their press and opened up their midfield and went for an attack that led to the first goal and there were more chances, more than a few.

"In the end it’s a pity that you still need your two centre-backs to play such a big game and your goalkeeper to make two big saves. A game like this should have been ours after 60 or 70 minutes and that’s why the last 20 minutes were so difficult for us."
