The team is in — and Arne Slot has made some huge decisions for Liverpool FC’s clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Starting XI
Liverpool line up as follows:
DEF: Jeremie Frimpong, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez
MID: Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister
ATT: Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike
Salah Starts On The Bench
The headline decision:
👉 Mohamed Salah is among the substitutes
A bold call in such a huge game, especially given his track record in big European nights.
Bench Options
Subs:
Mohamed Salah, Federico Chiesa, Curtis Jones, Cody Gakpo, Andrew Robertson, Rio Ngumoha and others.
👉 Plenty of attacking options if needed
A New-Look Attack
Slot has gone with a front three of:
Wirtz Isak Ekitike
👉 A mobile, fluid attack — but one lacking Salah’s proven end product from the start.
Midfield Balance
The midfield trio of:
Gravenberch Szoboszlai Mac Allister
👉 Suggests a focus on energy and control
They’ll need to:
Compete physically Keep possession Support both defence and attack
Big Night Ahead
With Liverpool needing a huge performance, all eyes will be on:
👉 The tactical setup
👉 The impact of substitutions
👉 Whether this bold selection pays off
The Bottom Line
It’s a brave team selection from Slot.
No Salah from the start.
A fresh attacking setup.
👉 Now Liverpool have to deliver on the pitch.
