Liverpool manager Arne Slot says it is not impossible to beat PSG and progress to the Champions League semi-finals, and believes his side need to be very special to win as the Reds look to overturn a 2-0 deficit. ©UEFA2026 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro. 00:15 - instilling belief: First of all remind them of the score.
