Ian Rush and Calvin Harris send messages after Harvey Elliott’s Liverpool heroics
Liverpool legend Ian Rush sent a message to Harvey Elliott following the player’s last-gasp heroics against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.
PSG’s front three of Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembele and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia were frustrated at the Parc des Prince, with Alisson pulling off one of his best-ever performances in Liverpool colours.
After unleashing a total of 27 shots at the Reds’ goal on 5 March [FotMob], Darwin Nunez and Elliott linked up brilliantly to shock the Ligue 1 giants with an 87th-minute winner to take back to Anfield.
The match-winner had replaced Mohamed Salah just one minute prior before smashing the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma, sparking pandemonium in the away end.

Taking to Instagram [5 March], Elliott posted an image of his celebrations, with no caption needed, but his comments were flooded with congratulatory messages from teammates, fans and ex-players.
The legendary striker Rush commented with two clapping emojis, while DJ Calvin Harris wrote: “Mate, what a moment,” with a love heart emoji.
Arne Slot marching towards last Liverpool hurrah with Champions League final on the cards
Football Insider verdict
Arne Slot has done an incredible job during his first season at Anfield, especially after having to pick up the pieces of broken hearts following Jurgen Klopp’s shock exit.
In what could be final seasons at Liverpool for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Salah, winning the Champions League would be a sensational way for any of the trio to part ways with the Reds.
| Liverpool star | No. of games |
| Virgil van Dijk | 308 |
| Trent Alexander-Arnold | 347 |
| Mohamed Salah | 389 |
Of course, Slot is only just starting to build a new era at Anfield and losing any of the aforementioned trio would be a massive blow, but change is never easy.
Man City and Pep Guardiola look to be coming to a crossroads, especially with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva only ageing now, and Liverpool are nearing a similar issue this summer.
The two sides have gone head-to-head for the last few seasons, with City often coming out on top, but there are likely to be a number of changes this summer for both rivals.
