6. No European glory for Arne Slot in his debut season

After finishing as the best team in the revamped Champions League league phase, many expected Liverpool to challenge for the title. However, due to several big teams struggling in the early stages, their first-place finish didn’t provide much of an advantage. They ended up facing one of the strongest remaining sides in PSG.

While Liverpool was already eliminated from the FA Cup, they were still in contention for three competitions. While the Champions League dream is over, they still have two major trophies within reach, the Premier League title and the EFL Cup.

Although an early Champions League exit is a major disappointment, Arne Slot’s debut season could still end on a high. If Liverpool secures domestic silverware, it would mark an impressive first campaign under the Dutchman.
