Liverpool manager Arne Slot appeared at a press conference after the 5-1 victory over Frankfurt in the third round of the Champions League group stage, held at Deutsche Bank Park.

The coach said in his remarks: "I saw some similarities between today's match and previous matches, but the difference is that we took advantage of our chances today and scored at crucial moments. We created early opportunities and conceded a goal from the opponent's only chance, but after going ahead 3-1, it became easier to control the match."

He added: "The team showed better balance and higher energy, especially in pressing, which we have missed in previous matches. The result was a product of teamwork and focus on the little details that make the difference."

Regarding Hugo Ekitike: "The goal he scored was very special, and you could see the happiness on his face at that moment. These are the moments we have been waiting for from him. Over the past weeks, we have created many opportunities, but we haven't always capitalized on them. Today I brought on Isaac and Hugo, both of whom have a clear goal-scoring instinct, and they posed a real threat."

He continued about Isaac's substitution: "Isaac had some chances, but unfortunately he hasn't scored yet, and he had to come off at halftime due to slight pain in his thigh, which is unfortunate. I have said repeatedly that it is very difficult to find balance with a player who has been absent for three months; when you gradually involve him, people sometimes question why he isn't relied upon more."

He concluded regarding Jeremy Frimpong's injury: "I expect Jeremy Frimpong to be out for several weeks; the injury looks concerning."
