Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has admitted he did not know Liverpool could still perform the way they did against Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The Frenchman was impressed by Arne Slot’s side’s ‘proper Liverpool performance’ against the Italians at San Siro.
Liverpool defeated Inter Milan 1-0 on Tuesday night to keep their hopes of automatic qualification for the knockout stages alive.
The win pushed the Premier League champions up to eighth in the Champions League group phase.
Liverpool’s moment came when a VAR review adjudged Alessandro Bastoni to have brought down Florian Wirtz in the box.
Dominik Szoboszlai stepped up to place the ball in the bottom corner, giving the Reds the much-needed win.
The victory also ended the Reds’ dismal run of nine defeats in 12 games.
“I liked the way Liverpool played and how Arne Slot stopped Inter from playing, his tactics were on point,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That was a proper Liverpool performance. I didn’t know they had it in their locker. That would have been a reassuring performance for Liverpool fans to watch.”
