Liverpool FC head coach Arne Slot highlighted the importance of set-pieces in the wake of his team’s big morale boosting win over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.
Liverpool beat Real Madrid 1-0 at Anfield for its second win in a row to signal a mini revival after enduring a poor run with just a win in seven games.
Alexis Mac Allister steered Dominik Szoboszlai’s cross into the net in the 61st minute in what turned out to be the winner and Slot highlighted the importance of set-pieces in a post-game interview with Amazon Prime.
“Today shows the importance of set pieces. We have scored four in the Champions League. If we had scored as many in the Premier League we would have more points than we have now, but we have scored none and conceded five. If that is your balance you are not going to pick up many points.”
Liverpool turn attention to the English Premier League where they take on Manchester City on Sunday, November 9 at 16:30 GMT.
