“‘Darwin Deserved That Goal’ – Arne Slot Discusses His Bold Call to Stick with the Striker”
Liverpool boss Arne Slot reflected on Darwin Núñez’s performance in the Reds’ narrow 1-0 Champions League victory against Girona.
“I was determined for Darwin to score because he needed that goal, which is why I left him on the pitch for so long,” Arne Slot explained.
“He was a constant danger, but when a striker doesn’t find the net, you always question whether it’s down to poor execution or waning confidence,” he added.
The win extended Liverpool’s streak to six consecutive victories in the Champions League, with Mohamed Salah’s penalty securing the crucial result.
Despite the triumph, Slot voiced his frustration with the team’s overall display, emphasizing the need for significant improvement going forward.
