Liverpool manager Arne Slot says he wants his players to show how much they have missed those “special” Champions League nights at Anfield when they host Bologna on Wednesday night.
The Merseysiders failed to qualify for last season’s competition after finishing fifth in the Premier League in 2022/23, but bounced back in Jurgen Klopp’s final campaign to finish third.
The Reds marked their return to Europe’s top table with a 3-1 win over AC Milan at the San Siro. They face Italian opposition again for their first home game and Slot’s first experience of Champions League football at the famous ground.
“I am privileged to work at Feyenoord last season where Champions League nights were special. People tell me it is going to be more special here,” the Dutchman said in his pre-match press conference.
