Aaron Briggs was left stunned after Arne Slot emerged as the only Liverpool coach to win a crossbar challenge during training, as several backroom staff took part in a light-hearted wager ahead of the session.
The Reds, who face Tottenham in London on Saturday evening, enjoyed the moment as Slot’s chipped effort struck the bar, prompting the set-piece coach to exclaim “Oh, no!” and turn away, while the Dutchman joked about the cameraman before walking off.
The clip provided a welcome bit of humour during a difficult spell for Liverpool, especially after Mohamed Salah’s recent comments stirred fresh debate.
Despite the noise, the squad appears firmly united behind the manager and focused on restoring former standards. Back-to-back wins over Inter Milan and Brighton signal progress, but Liverpool must sustain that intensity and consistency into the new year to convince fans this revival is real and not another false dawn.
