“This isn’t easy for me to say, but nights like this are honestly painful. Sitting out a big game, watching from the sidelines, knowing how much you want to be out there fighting for your team… it hurts more than people think.

I’ve always given everything to football. Every training session, every match, every moment l’ve played with passion, pride, and responsibility. Not just for myself, but for the fans who support me endlessly.

I will never stop working hard, never stop believing in myself, and never stop giving my all”

Liverpool fans have reacted badly to Dominik Szoboszlai’s post-match interview following Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat away at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Arne Slot’s beleaguered side, who were thrashed 4-0 by Manchester City in the FA Cup on Saturday, failed to register a single shot on target at the Parc des Princes.

Goals either side of half-time from Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia secured a deserved first-leg victory for the reigning European champions in Paris.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher summed up the thoughts of concerned Liverpool supporters after the match by saying live on CBS Sports: “That, what we’ve just saw tonight, was like watching a team from a lower division playing someone [much better].

“The gulf in class was very worrying from a Liverpool point of view.”

Wednesday’s result piles further pressure on the shoulders of Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who many pundits and fans alike suspect will no longer be in charge at Anfield beyond the end of this season.

Szoboszlai Slammed After PSG Post-Match Interview

The cracks are starting to show among the squad, with Szoboszlai heavily criticised by supporters for his eyebrow-raising actions at the Etihad Stadium following Liverpool’s defeat to City at the weekend.

Despite receiving criticism from fans, the Hungary international – one of the Reds’ standout performers over the course of what has been a tough season for the Merseyside outfit – fronted up and conducted a post-match interview with beIN Sports following Liverpool’s latest defeat.

Szoboszlai spoke with optimism ahead of the second leg, telling beIN Sports’ reporter Matt Spiro: “We’re not going to be only 11 players, we’re going to be the whole stadium… I can’t really wait for it, these nights in Anfield are always special.” Watch the interview below:

However, supporters are far less convinced that a comeback is possible at Anfield with this group of players playing under Arne Slot. As a result, they’ve hit out at Szoboszlai for talking ‘nonsense’ given the circumstances.

One fan said on X (Twitter): “Man, shut up. You shouldn’t need fans to register a shot on target or play well.”

Another commented: “Sorry, but you were absolutely pathetic today. When the ball was with you it felt like it was a fire ball.”

One particularly angry supporter added: “After that reaction towards the fans at City, he can genuinely f*** off.” And a fourth fan wrote:

I’ve just spent 90 minutes watching our European hopes slip away without even being given the chance to warm up. After all I’ve given to this club, being treated like an afterthought in a quarter-final because of one decision is something I can’t accept. I’ve already instructed my agent to sort out an exit tonight—the respect is clearly no longer there,” a source close to Mohamed Salah reportedly revealed after he was left on the bench during the 2–0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

Tensions are now said to be rising, with one of the club’s most prolific modern-era scorers growing increasingly frustrated with the manager’s approach, as the fallout from the Paris clash continues to escalate.
