Arne Slot's hopes of keeping his job as Liverpool manager solely rest on the Reds' Champions League progression.
At the moment, many fans believe that the Anfield outfit have what it takes to add the trophy to their cabinet.
However, unless they can keep their leads and ensure that their defence doesn't crumble under the first bit of pressure they face, winning the Champions League is out of the question.
But, even though things haven't often gone Liverpool's way this term, the Dutchman seems to have a trick up his sleeve that could help them win it after all.

During Slot's pre-Nottingham Forest press conference on Thursday, the Liverpool head coach confirmed that he expects Alexander Isak to be back in contention by the end of March or at the very latest, the start of April.
The Sweden international is Liverpool's record signing and, due to various different reasons such as fitness and injuries, Liverpool's fanbase haven't seen the best of their star man just yet.
However, since he's now due to be back before the 2025-26 season ends, he could have a massive part to play in the Reds' Champions League charge.
The Champions League is one of the last major competitions that Slot can win for Liverpool this term and, with the added boost of Isak returning, it could help spur the Anfield outfit on to win the entire thing.
