The head coach of “Liverpool”, Arne Slot summarized the overall stage of the UEFA Champions League for the 2024/2025 season. The “Reds” gained 21 points from eight matches and took first place in the standings.

"I don’t know if this can be called a great achievement. But it’s nice to be first in such a tight table. I’ve said many times that it’s early to draw conclusions based on eight games considering that all teams played against different opponents. Honestly, the overall stage gave me little understanding — some played against weaker opponents than others.
But it’s always nice to be first in a new format. On the other hand, it gives you no guarantees — if I look at the table now, I will see four teams that we could meet, and there is one of them that I would hope not to meet, being in first place,” — quotes Slot's words the official website of “Liverpool”.
