Liverpool manager Arne Slot has admitted that his side were outplayed by Chelsea in their recent encounter, describing the match as “mayhem” and the only game this season where he felt the opposing team was superior.
Slot’s candid comments came after Chelsea’s dominant performance against Liverpool, which saw the Premier League giants put on a commanding display, leaving the Dutch champions with little room to respond.
Reflecting on the match, Slot acknowledged Chelsea’s impressive performance, stating, “The game against Chelsea was mayhem. It was the only game where I felt the other team was better than us during that game.”
His assessment comes after a challenging defeat that highlighted the gulf in quality between the two teams, with Chelsea exploiting every opportunity and outclassing Liverpool in several key areas.
Chelsea’s display in the match was widely praised, with their pressing, pace, and precision putting the Dutch side on the back foot throughout the game.
Despite Feyenoord’s usual resilience and solid form in domestic competitions, they were unable to match the intensity and tactical flexibility demonstrated by Chelsea under manager Enzo Maresca.
“Chelsea have been impressive this season so far, that’s for sure,” Slot added, acknowledging the strides the London club has made since the start of the campaign.
With a strong squad bolstered by new signings and a clear tactical identity under Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s performance has caught the attention of many, and Slot was quick to recognize their quality on the field.
Despite this setback, Slot remains confident in his team’s ability to bounce back, emphasizing the importance of learning from such high-level encounters. “You can only improve by facing teams that are better than you,” Slot explained.
For Chelsea, the win was another testament to their growing momentum under Maresca, with the manager pleased by his side’s performance and their ability to handle the pressure in such high-profile matches.
