Szoboszlai shrugs off fan incident before crucial Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain...
Dominik Szoboszlai has apologized to Liverpool fans after a “misunderstanding” over his body language following the FA Cup quarter-final loss to Manchester City.
The Liverpool midfielder said there was confusion about his reaction after the 4-0 defeat, during which the team was jeered by traveling supporters as they went over to applaud them at full time.
Szoboszlai reacted by shrugging, raising his arms, and clapping - a gesture many saw as sarcastic and a sign of frustration with the fans' boos.
The Hungarian midfielder was pulled away by teammate Federico Chiesa, but Szoboszlai tried to downplay the moment ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against holders Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool are on the verge of elimination from the Champions League at the hands of PSG for a second successive season.
A lacklustre performance in Paris last week has left Arne Slot's side with a daunting task if they are to produce a stunning upset against the champions at Anfield.
“Maybe it was a misunderstanding between me and the fans,” he told reporters on Monday.

“I didn't mean it in a bad way. Obviously I know what the fans mean to this club and what the club means to the fans.
“We do everything for the fans as they do for us. If it was a misunderstanding, then I apologise.
“I'm not feeling better than them, I feel exactly the same as they do. I am with them, we are with them and hopefully they are with us as well.”

Liverpool are on the brink of Champions League elimination by PSG for the second season in a row.
A flat display in Paris last week has left Arne Slot’s side facing a massive challenge to pull off a dramatic upset against the reigning champions at Anfield.
“We're going to go all in and give our best. I'm ready to die on the pitch tomorrow (Tuesday),” Szoboszlai said.
“It is going to be a different game from the first leg. We are going to be doing stuff in a different way.
“I can speak for all of the players because we want it so bad. Anything can happen in one game at Anfield.”
