The sun shone brightly across Liverpool on Wednesday and, come the evening, Liverpool delivered one of their performances of the season. "It was almost the perfect game for us, but definitely our fans," said Arne Slot, after his side secured a first Champions League quarter-final since 2022 with a devastating display against Galatasaray, winning 4-0 after trailing 1-0 from the first leg. For Liverpool, this was 90 minutes filled with confidence and an intensity they have lacked in recent times. They played like the reigning Premier League champions and harnessed the power of Anfield, albeit against a side that never truly believed they could get a result. Against the Turkish champions Liverpool had 32 attempts, including 16 on target, and looked like they were scoring at will after the break.
