    Here are the key lines from Dominik Szoboszlai's news conference before Paris St-Germain:

  3. 'We don't talk about contracts in public'published at 16:38 BST 13 April

    A final word from Liverpool boss Arne Slot on Ibrahima Konate: "I think it's going to be a special evening for Ibou tomorrow. Only for a small point because he's French but a big part because he's in a Champions League quarter-final. A special night for him and all the other players. We don't talk about contracts in public."

  4. 'We have to be aggressive'published at 16:31 BST 13 April

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Arne Slot on playing PSG for a fourth time this year: "I think it makes not so much sense for me to look at the two games from last season because I think in five, six, seven positions we have different players tomorrow night. I don't exactly know. I also know the game plan from last season, what our qualities were.

    "We've replaced a lot of players which brought different qualities. To watch the games from last season back, I'm not too sure if these players can do the same tactic we used last season. But the idea behind it needs to be the same. We have to be aggressive, front-footed from start to finish but so many different players this season compared to last season. I did watch it back but there's not so much to learn from."

  5. 'A goal can change the momentum'published at 16:28 BST 13 April

    Liverpool v PSG (Tue, 20:00 BST)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Arne Slot on finding belief: "The amount of times we have shown that we can be much better than we were than PSG. Even Saturday showed how important a goal is. 10 minutes we scored the second. That is what football is about, a goal can change the momentum, which happened negatively for us at the Etihad [against Manchester City].

  6. 'To be offensive you need to have the ball'published at 16:26 BST 13 April

    Liverpool v PSG (Tue, 20:00 BST)

    Liverpool

    More from Arne Slot on how Liverpool can overcome Paris St-Germain: "I think we have to find the perfect balance between being offensive but to be offensive you need to have the ball and to get the ball back you have to do so many things well before your attackers can attack.

    "That's why the history of this club, you've seen players that are very good offensively but are also able do their defensive job because the only way to score is if you have the ball.

    "Tomorrow two teams are facing each other who both would like to have the ball a lot. The last time we faced each other they had the ball for 76% of the time, so that's the first thing we have to change tomorrow, to have the ball more. If we have it more then it's nice to have the attacking threat on the pitch and that's what we will have tomorrow."

  7. 'I can trust the fans to be even louder'published at 16:25 BST 13 April

    Liverpool v PSG (Tue, 20:00 BST)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Arne Slot on how important the Anfield crowd will be: "Just as important as our performance. We have to be much better than last week. Their players have experienced Anfield and they think they know what is coming up. I hope our fans can find an extra gear to last season. I argue if it is possible because the atmosphere last season was unbelievable.

    "I think our fans are up for it to make it even louder, which is also needed. I can trust them to be even louder than last season."

  8. 'We need an exceptional performance'published at 16:19 BST 13 April

    Liverpool v PSG (Tue, 20:00 BST)

    Liverpool

    More from the Liverpool boss Arne Slot on their mindset and scoring goals: "We know we need an exceptional performance to go to the next round but that's completely normal when you face the champions of Europe.

    "We've been able to score more than two goals on occasions. But for now let's just focus on the job on hand, start aggressive and make sure we can get back in the tie and that is by scoring goals. I know that they will try and score the first goal, we are going to try as well."

  9. 'The approach is not so different tomorrow than it was in Paris'published at 16:14 BST 13 April

    Liverpool v PSG (Tue, 20:00 BST)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Arne Slot on why he will not change his approach massively from the away leg: "People probably find it very hard what I am about to say now but the approach is not so different tomorrow than it was in Paris. For the people who know me I never tell them to play in a low block for 90 minutes.

    "You could see we pressed them high on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, seven or eight of those moments led them to being one-on-one with our goalkeeper.

    "Again the approach tomorrow will be to take the risk but to get the ball off them you need to press them and we saw how difficult that is."

  10. 'There is a belief we can do special things'published at 16:08 BST 13 April

    Liverpool v PSG (Tue, 20:00 BST)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Arne Slot on what he has said to his players to convince them they can turn the tie around against Paris St-Germain: "First of all remind them what the score was - that it was 2-0. It felt completely different, as we all know, but the end result was 2-0. Second of all we have shown so many times in big games this season that we are able to get a great performance.

    "We have also shown a completely different face, I am completely aware of that, but many of our games that we have played were very good as well. Especially in big games.

    "In the 49 home games we have played [under me] 36 times we were able to score two goals or more. Yes, we have not played all these 49 games against Paris St-Germain, I realise that, but the Premier League and Champions League opponents we had were very strong.

    "So yes there is a belief we can do special things tomorrow but we need to be very, very, very special tomorrow to achieve that. We are playing the champions of Europe so that makes the task more difficult but not impossible."

  12. Extra rest 'makes a difference'published at 15:56 BST 13 April

    Liverpool v PSG (Tue, 20:00 BST)

    Liverpool

    Finally from Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai on Paris St-Germain having a rest at the weekend: "It is different when they can rest between the two games, it gives them two days more for recovery and for analysing the game.

    "As I said after PSG, we were focused on Fulham, then focused on Paris again. A couple of guys who played in Paris then started against Fulham as well.

    "That makes a difference. I am not here to say Premier League should give us days off or help us in the Champions League, that's how it is.

    "We have to deal with it and be professional enough to deal with it. That's our job to do."

  13. 'We are going to be doing stuff in a different way'published at 15:52 BST 13 April

    Liverpool v PSG (Tue, 20:00 BST)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai on Paris St-Germain: "It is going to be a different game from the first leg. We are going to be doing stuff in a different way.

    "We need to go all in and give everything. If at the end of the game you can say you gave everything then you can keep your chin up and say we tried.

    "If everybody can do what they meant to do then there is a big opportunity."

  14. 'It would be one of the biggest comebacks in my career'published at 15:47 BST 13 April

    Liverpool v PSG (Tue, 20:00 BST)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai on how big of an achievement a comeback would be: "Of course it would be one of the biggest comebacks in my career. Especially for Liverpool. Against PSG in the quarter-final of the Champions League, after being 2-0 down. Yeah it would be the biggest comeback of my career.

    "National team [my biggest comeback] was when we qualified for the European Championship in 2019 against Iceland, we were down after 85 minutes and changed the game to 2-1."

    On Anfield: "It can make a big impact tomorrow. We saw it many times last season.

    "Not only 11 players or the subs. It's the whole stadium. And we know what it feels like playing for Liverpool in front of these fans, in Anfield. We don't need any more motivation. We know how it feels."

    Liverpool

    Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai on his shrug to the Liverpool fans after the defeat by Man City: "Maybe it was a misunderstanding between the fans and I.

    "I didn't mean it in a bad way. Obviously I know what the fans mean to this club and what this club means to the fans.

    "As a player, we do everything for them as we do for us.

    "If it was a misunderstanding I apologise but they can feel also that I'm not feeling better than them. I'm feeling exactly the same as they do.

    "To make it clear I am with them, we are with them and hopefully they are with us as well."

    Liverpool's Curtis Jones has been spotted in training ahead of Tuesday's quarter-final second leg.

    The midfielder came off during the Reds' 2-0 win over Fulham.

    In a post-match interview, boss Arne Slot told Sky Sports: "He felt a little bit his groin. It wasn't the moment – he felt it already for a few minutes."

    Slot added that he is not expecting Jones to be fit for the Champions League game: "Let's hope for the best but I would be surprised if a player who comes off, that he's available for Tuesday."
