Enrique Surprised by Slot's Tactics in PSG Victory

In the aftermath of Liverpool's 2-0 defeat to PSG in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, PSG's manager Luis Enrique commented on Arne Slot's decision to adopt a five-man defensive setup. This tactical choice was surprising to Enrique, as it was Slot's first time implementing a three-back formation in a year.

PSG showcased a commanding performance, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scoring a goal. Liverpool faced significant challenges, failing to record a single shot on target and managing only 26 percent possession throughout the match.

Enrique noted that while Slot is an excellent coach, the defensive strategy was a departure from their usual style, which could lead to adjustments in future matches. He expressed confidence in his team's ability to secure victory in the second leg, emphasizing the importance of adapting to different competitive formats.
