Arne Slot has revealed what the Liverpool changing room think about former player Jamie Carragher.
On Tuesday night, Liverpool boss Slot relieved some of the pressure piling on him regarding his future with a potentially crucial win over European giants Real Madrid.
A closely contested match was ultimately settled by a winning header from Alexis Mac Allister scored shortly after the start of the second half.
Throughout the match, former player Carragher was reporting on the game for CBS Sports live at Anfield and spoke with several players post-match.

But his interview with Slot didn't exactly go to plan as the Liverpool boss didn't hold back when asked what his players really thought of Carragher.
Immediately after the match, the CBS studio spoke with Dominik Szoboszlai, who revealed that the Liverpool players had no issues with Carragher.
However, when Micah Richards asked Slot to confirm or deny this claim, the Liverpool boss was clearly hesitant.
"As a player or as a pundit?" Slot asked, causing the CBS studio to burst into laughter.
The former Liverpool defender then moved the conversation along to ask Slot if he thinks that Gareth Bale, who replaced Carragher in the CBS studio on Tuesday, should become a permanent part of the day instead of Richards given his heritage in the Champions League.
But Richards wasn't prepared to let the suggestion go without him providing a response, as he suggested: "Before you answer that, Jamie works every year for another broadcaster and has not won the Premier League! So maybe he shouldn't do that."
To which Slot jokingly asked: "Did you speak to one of our players, because this is what all our players tell about Jamie as well."
It's no secret that Carragher has had a complicated relationship with Liverpool's players due to his comments while doing punditry for Sky Sports or on social media.
Just last season, the Liverpool legend had a spat with star player Mohamed Salah, calling him and his agent 'selfish' as they publicly discussed negotiations for his new contract.
Salah himself and even Virgil van Dijk responded to the comments, showing that Carragher's relationship with the team is far from perfect.
