Liverpool supporters have voiced strong criticism of Dominik Szoboszlai following his post-match interview after Wednesday’s 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Arne Slot’s struggling team, still reeling from a heavy 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City last weekend, failed to produce a single shot on target at the Parc des Princes.
Goals from Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on either side of half-time handed the reigning European champions a deserved advantage in the first leg in Paris.
Club legend Jamie Carragher echoed the concerns of many Liverpool fans during his appearance on CBS Sports, saying the performance resembled a lower-division side facing a far superior opponent, highlighting a worrying gap in quality from Liverpool’s perspective.
The defeat has intensified pressure on manager Arne Slot, with many observers believing his future at Anfield beyond this season is increasingly uncertain.
Frustrations among supporters appear to be spilling over into the squad, as Szoboszlai has come under fire not only for his recent performances but also for his behavior following the loss to Manchester City.
Despite the backlash, the Hungarian midfielder—one of Liverpool’s more consistent performers during a difficult campaign—stepped forward to speak with beIN Sports after the PSG defeat. He expressed confidence ahead of the return leg, saying the team would draw strength from the Anfield crowd and emphasizing how special European nights at the stadium can be.
However, many fans remain skeptical about Liverpool’s chances of mounting a comeback under the current circumstances. Several supporters took to social media to criticize Szoboszlai’s comments, accusing him of offering empty optimism rather than addressing the team’s poor display.
Currently sitting fifth in the Premier League with seven games left, Liverpool will look to regain momentum when they face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday, before hosting PSG in the decisive second leg at Anfield next week.
