Arne Slot has sounded a warning about the danger Alexander Isak poses as Liverpool gear up for the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle. Reflecting on their past meetings with the Magpies, Slot highlighted just how crucial Isak is to Newcastle’s attack.
Speaking ahead of the final, Slot said:
“We’ve faced Newcastle twice this season. Isak didn’t play in the second game, but he was involved in the first — and he’s such a vital player for them. He’s a huge threat with incredible pace, similar to what we saw from PSG’s forwards on Tuesday. Honestly, they got in front of Alisson more often than I would’ve liked in those games.
“That’s why we’ll need to defend even better than we did on Tuesday, especially against their counter-attacks,” Slot added.
Slot also commented on the significance of reaching the Carabao Cup final, saying:
“It’s a great occasion to be part of, especially coming off a tough loss to PSG.”
