Liverpool are still alive in this season's Champions League. Nobody quite knows how, of course. Arne Slot's side were played off the pitch by Paris Saint-Germain last week but managed to escape from the Parc des Princes with a 2-0 defeat that Jamie Carragher acknowledged actually felt like a "great result" for the visitors, given the chasm in cohesion and confidence between the two teams.

Rio Ngumoha is destined to enjoy a bright future at Liverpool, but Stan Collymore has told GOAL why a loan move - potentially to Crystal Palace or Bournemouth - might form part of transfer plans in 2026. The 17-year-old wonderkid has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at Anfield, but obvious questions are being asked of whether the youngster is ready to replace Mohamed Salah.

A tough task lies ahead for the English team.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was full of praise for Rio Ngumoha following the youngster's breakthrough moment at Anfield. He has hailed the starlet for possessing a "special quality" after the teenager inspired the Reds to a 2-0 victory over Fulham. The 17-year-old marked his latest start with a sublime solo goal that drew immediate comparisons to his legendary team-mate Mohamed Salah.
