The victory was sealed by Victor Osimhen's successful penalty kick.

Slot expressed disappointment with Liverpool's performance, stating that they failed to win the game, which is their primary objective.

He noted that the team's performance was different from their previous loss to Crystal Palace, with more positive aspects in the first half, but that the second half became increasingly difficult for Liverpool to create scoring opportunities.

Slot attributed this to Galatasaray's determination to fight and win, as well as Liverpool's lack of possession in the second half.

He also explained that some players were not fully prepared for the game due to missing pre-season training, which made it challenging for him to rotate the squad effectively.

Slot emphasized that he likes his current squad, but its size and depth make it hard to manage, especially when injuries occur.

He stated that with a smaller squad, he must make tough decisions about player availability and rotation to avoid injuries and maintain team performance.
