Milos Kerkez has praised his Liverpool teammates for executing Arne Slot's plan 'perfectly' as they secured a 4-0 victory over Galatasaray at Anfield to reach the Champions League quarter-finals. The Reds overturned a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in Istanbul with a dominant performance.
Speaking after the match, the Hungarian defender said: 'We had lots of chances but we defended really well and didn't give much away. After that in the second half, it was also chance after chance, so we executed the plan perfect. It was a great night.'
Kerkez highlighted the team's mentality and energy, noting improvements in second balls, duels, and fast attacks. He added: 'The mentality and the energy was unbelievable from every player. I never felt this Champions League night and it was really special for me.'
Liverpool now face reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain in the last eight, but Kerkez stressed the need to stay focused: 'We know they're the champions... but obviously we're looking forward to it, but we know we have to pick up points in the Premier League, so we're already looking forward for Brighton.'
The Reds sit fifth in the Premier League, two points behind Aston Villa, and also have an FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City to prepare for.
