Liverpool is set to host PSG in the return leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16. In the first leg, the English team secured a 1-0 victory at the Parc des Princes. However, the final training session before the crucial second leg saw a heated moment between two of their key players.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah were involved in a disagreement during Liverpool’s last training session before facing PSG. Following a collision between the two, the defender sarcastically applauded and gestured towards Salah, who reacted poorly to the British player’s attitude and confronted him. Several teammates, notably Harvey Elliot and Konaté, intervened to separate the players before the situation escalated.
Key Week for Liverpool
Liverpool is enjoying an exceptional season. In the league, under Arne Slot’s management, they are 15 points ahead of Arsenal (second place), putting them in a commanding position. In the Carabao Cup, the Reds are scheduled to play the final on Saturday, March 15th. Additionally, they hold a slight advantage in their Champions League round of 16 tie against PSG. It remains to be seen how Liverpool will navigate one of the most critical weeks of their season, where they are competing for a cup title and aiming to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals.
