Liverpool are experiencing a mixed bag of results in the Premier League, with both missed chances and conceded goals. However, they have found some solace in the Champions League.
For the second consecutive season, Liverpool cruised into the last 16 after defeating Qarabag at Anfield. Mohamed Salah scored one of his first goals since his recent interview, while other players like Alexis Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitiké, and Federico Chiesa also found the net.
Coach Arne Slot attributed their success to having a few 'margaritas' in life - meaning they are enjoying their time with the team. However, he is aware that his team has been inconsistent and acknowledges that there is work to be done to improve both attack and defense.
The biggest victory of Slot's tenure at Liverpool was against Qarabag, which included a clean sheet. This win served as a perfect tonic for Slot following defeat at Bournemouth and will help alleviate some of the mounting injury problems in his squad.
Liverpool will face either Juventus, Atlético Madrid, Galatasaray or Club Brugge in the last 16. The team's pedigree in the Champions League was on full display against both Madrid clubs and Inter Milan, but they have struggled to replicate that success consistently in their title defense.
Slot emphasized the importance of improving in both attack and defense if Liverpool are to achieve more this season. Despite some setbacks, including injuries to several key players, he remains optimistic about his team's prospects for the remainder of the Champions League campaign.
Liverpool will host Newcastle on Saturday before facing Juventus or Atlético Madrid in the last 16.
