Slot cited physical load management and the need to assess the tie’s trajectory before committing Salah to 90 minutes. The manager noted that Salah remained an option for the second half if Liverpool could mount a comeback (Sports Mole).

Without Salah in the starting lineup, Liverpool lacked the creative edge that has defined their Champions League runs. The decision reflected a difficult balance between player welfare and competitive necessity (ESPN analysis).
