Liverpool are not the best in the world, says Slot

Ahead of Liverpool's home game against Ipswich Town, coach Arne Slot rejected claims that his team is the best in the world, despite their 17-match unbeaten run and recent Champions League success.

He acknowledged Liverpool's quality but pointed out that other teams, such as Bayern Munich and Barcelona, are also strong contenders. Ipswich coach Kieran McKenna, facing relegation battles, called the game against Liverpool their toughest challenge of the season.

He praised his players for their character despite a 6-0 defeat to Manchester City, acknowledging the gap in quality but emphasizing the team's hard work and resilience. McKenna emphasized the importance of analyzing their performance to improve ahead of the tough Liverpool fixture.
