Liverpool manager Arne Slot has written his name into UEFA Champions League history after guiding the Reds to a 2-1 victory over Lille at Anfield.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott secured Liverpool’s seventh consecutive win in this season’s competition, keeping the Premier League leaders at the top of the 36-team league table with a perfect 21 points, Softfootball understands.
Softfootball gathered that the victory made Slot only the second manager in Champions League history to win each of his first seven matches in charge of a club.
The Dutch tactician matched the achievement previously set by current Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who recorded seven straight victories with Bayern Munich between 2019 and 2021.
Slot has enjoyed an outstanding start since replacing Jürgen Klopp, overseeing impressive domestic and European campaigns while maintaining Liverpool’s consistency across competitions.
The latest milestone further highlights the remarkable impact he has made at Anfield, with Liverpool emerging as one of the favourites to challenge for Europe’s biggest prize this season.
