Arne Slot believes Paris Saint-Germain "won't be happy" at the prospect of facing Liverpool again in the Champions League.

The Reds secured a quarterfinal rematch with PSG after beating Galatasaray 4-1 on aggregate in the last 16. The Reds went into Wednesday's second leg with a one-goal deficit after losing to the Turkish side in Istanbul, but goals from Dominik Szoboszlai, Hugo Ekitke, Ryan Gravenberch and Mohamed Salah turned the tie on its head.

Slot was asked about his team's upcoming tie with PSG after beating Galatasaray. Last season, the Reds were knocked out of the competition by the French team after losing a penalty shootout.

PSG went on to win the Champions League last season and demolished Chelsea in the last 16 this season, winning 8-2 on aggregate. Beating Luis Enrique's team will be difficult, but Slot is relishing the challenge.

"We were completely outplayed away from home last season and then lost on penalties," Slot told TNT Sports when asked about the prospect of playing PSG. "They haven't dropped their standards, but after tonight, they won't be happy to play us."

On his team's performance against Galatasaray on Wednesday, Slot added: "I liked the way we played, and I liked the way we pressed.

"Also, the reaction from the fans when Galatasaray were trying to do what I expected them to, being on the floor and trying to kill the momentum.

"The only complaint is throughout the whole season we've had so many chances where we've not scored, that's the only thing.

"The positive thing is we've had good halves and then spells of 10 minutes, where we've usually given a moment for the other team to score. But today nothing dropped, I don't think they had a chance. We kept on creating and creating.

"It's pleasing to keep a clean sheet. We've not conceded many chances, but we concede goals.

"But tonight we didn't even concede a chance."

Salah's goal was his 50th in the Champions League, making him the first African player to reach the milestone. The Egyptian missed a penalty during the first half of the game, but he bounced back by scoring and assisting Ekitike.

On Salah, Slot added: "I think it says a lot about his mentality that he missed the penalty, which was a difficult moment. He then produced a great assist, and then his goal is just a trademark of his.

"It means a lot for me and the players to get love from the fans. Anfield showed we can create an atmosphere better than Galatasaray at their place. Our fans reacted when they saw that they were wasting time, and that helped a lot."
