outing

The appearance in Paris coincided with Perry's 41st birthday over the weekend and appeared to mark their first public outing as a couple.

Not an ace by the heavily diluted standards of 2025, a time when crossing 110 pitches is an unreasonable workload and a six-inning outing is considered “dominant.”

He had his worst outing of the year, facing four batters and watching three of them score.

Having already netted 12 times in seven Bundesliga outings this term, he is on track to score 58 goals.

Therefore to not start him when needing a win was certainly a brave move by Slot, even if he had also named him on the bench for Liverpool's previous outing in Europe against Galatasaray.
