Liverpool manager Arne Slot is in top form, and no wonder, after a run of seven consecutive victories, the last two against Real Madrid and Manchester City; his mood is so good that he even allowed himself to make a remark about Manchester City and its legal conflict with the Premier League. After scoring in the 2-0 victory that put Liverpool nine points clear at the top, Mohamed Salah speculated that this encounter could probably be his last game against City – due to the stalemate in his contract, to which Slot responded.
“Maybe Mo knows more about the 115 charges and expects them not to be in the Premier League. The boring answer is always the same. This is not the place for me to talk about Mo’s contract. Perhaps I’ve already talked too much about the joke I just made. It will probably make headlines. But it was a joke, I repeat, it was a joke!“, he declared in a laughing press room. In any case, everyone is smiling in Liverpool.
