Wirtz denies Liverpool ‘gave up’ in Manchester City loss Isak could return off bench after four months out injured Arne Slot has warned Liverpool will suffer another emphatic defeat should they switch off against Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday evening but believes his toiling team can save their season by going “toe-to-toe” with the European champions. The pressure on Liverpool and their head coach has intensified following Saturday’s 4-0 capitulation against Manchester City in the quarter-final of the FA Cup.
Florian Wirtz disagreed with the captain Virgil van Dijk’s damning assessment that Liverpool “ gave up ” at the Etihad Stadium, but both the £116m playmaker and Slot admitted there can be no repeat of that performance at Parc des Princes.
