Although Liverpool's perfect European record has come to an end, they still finished top of the 36-team Champions League table, and Slot has taken plenty of positives from his team's performance, with McConnell among those who took advantage of being handed a chance to impress.

"Maybe we have to sell players": Emery delivers Watkins, Duran transfer update
Unai Emery has admitted that Al-Nassr's big-money offer for Jhon Duran was too good for Aston Villa to turn down, but he is hopeful that Arsenal-linked Ollie Watkins will remain at the club.
Within the space of 24 to 48 hours, both of Villa's strikers have been subject to interest in the final stages of the winter transfer window, and while Watkins's future remains uncertain, it appears that Duran is heading for the exit door.
Indeed, Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr have reportedly agreed a deal with Villa to sign Duran for €77m (£64.5m) plus add-ons, with the Colombia international agreeing personal terms over a five-and-a-half-year contract.
The Athletic reports that the 21-year-old completed his medical in London on Thursday and is set to fly to Saudi Arabia to finalise his move before the Saudi transfer window closes on Friday.

Heaven knows: Is Arsenal teenager moving to Man United for money?
Arsenal fans should not be losing sleep over Ayden Heaven's decision to join Manchester United, which could very well be financially motivated, Gunners expert Charles Watts has told Sports Mole.
The 18-year-old is set to become the latest highly-rated youth product to walk out of the Hale End doors, as the Evening Standard claims that he is closing in on a switch to the Red Devils, who have beaten Eintracht Frankfurt to his services.
Heaven will leave Arsenal having made just one senior appearance - coming on as a substitute in October's 3-0 EFL Cup win over Preston North End - although he has been on the bench for Premier League and Champions League matches.
Asked if Arsenal will be regretting their failure to resist interest in Heaven, Watts said: It's hard to say really, because we've just not seen that much of him. He's highly rated. Arsenal did not want to lose him. They offered him a professional contract but he hadn't signed it. When he's still on scholarship terms, you're just always open to something like this happening.

Melo said: "For a 16-year-old boy who hasn't yet stepped into the professional ranks, who is a promise, who still has two years to stay at Corinthians because he can only leave after he turns 18, it is a wonderful sale, in a way.
