Liverpool’s incredible start to the season under new manager Arne Slot continues to break records, with their latest achievement being a hard-fought 1-0 win against RB Leipzig in the Champions League. This win came after former manager Jurgen Klopp left the club after nearly nine years to take on a global soccer role at Red Bull. Despite Klopp’s legacy, Slot has quickly made his mark.
Liverpool’s victory over Leipzig marked their sixth consecutive away win this season, a first in the club’s 132-year history. Slot also became the first manager in English top-flight football to win 11 of his first 12 matches in charge. Under Slot, Liverpool has climbed to the top of the Premier League and secured three straight Champions League wins, sharing this perfect record with Aston Villa.
Darwin Núñez scored the decisive goal, while backup goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher made crucial saves in the absence of injured Alisson Becker. Slot expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, emphasizing the importance of trophies over records.
Captain Virgil van Dijk praised Slot’s impact, encouraging the team to stay humble. Slot is already thinking ahead to the upcoming match against Arsenal, managing his squad carefully amid a busy schedule.
