The Digest:
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has explained why Mohamed Salah remained on the bench for the entire 90 minutes as his side lost 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. Slot said the game's latter stages were about "surviving" rather than scoring, adding: "For Mo to be 20, 25 minutes defending inside his own box, I think he should save his energy for games coming up." Salah was an unused substitute at Parc des Princes.
Key Points:

- PSG dominated with 18 shots to Liverpool's three.
- Slot's decision has sparked debate among fans and pundits.
