Liverpool boss Arne Slot makes the “nearly impossible” choice between another Premier League title or UEFA Champions League victory

And his total domination on the English top flight last season naturally hopes that they can soon return to the top of European football.

Slot was reluctant to give specific answers when asked whether he wanted to win another Premier League title or whether he would return the Champions League trophy to Liverpool’s grasp, but McCoist ultimately pulled a verdict from the Dutch.

He replied: “If I can only win one, that’s almost impossible, but this time I’ll go to the Champions League.”

Slots entered the 2025/26 Champions League campaign and stuck to the brutal nature of competition washing away teams freely as Liverpool was very dominant in the early stages of last season, but suffered 16 exits to the Palisen Jermen in penalties.

Statisticians and Supercomputers finished the top of the league phase, winning seven out of eight matches, and after being considered a juggernaut for both domestic and continental juggernaut, they had Liverpool as a solid favourite to lift the title in Munich.

However, after a tough start to the season, PSG, who had become an epic form of running himself, limited the side of the slot and found a way to seize opportunities when it mattered, and got better in a shootout to drive Liverpool out of the competition in March.

While giving the Parisian side the perfect achievement for historic European feats, Slot explained whether his side was at a disadvantage in the last 16 clashes.

“I don’t want to take anything from what they did last season because it stood out,” Slot said.

“I think the reason we’ve saved them is because we don’t have winter break that we can’t help Premier League clubs.

“Maybe it helped them play two games against Brest (a 10-0 aggregate playoff victory), they spent a break and then peaked the game.

“When they played against us in March, at that moment they barely admitted goals and scored three or four goals per game, and they were at peak levels.

“It was our best period, but towards March we were struggling a bit in terms of strength. After the March period we went up again, but we lost the penalty so we were out (of Europe).”

And after a massive summer investment in his team, Slot now has the opportunity to prove that his team can maintain their elite standards throughout the season – despite their paths being challenging schedules.

The Premier League champions are trying to hold the perfect record so far on their trip to Crystal Palace this season on Saturday.
