Statistics expected that Liverpool incredibly has a chance of 84 percent for progress, and it appears that history alongside them as on the 39 previous occasions they won in the first leg of the European tie that they passed through.

They scored them in ANFILD, huge, after losing only once – in September – since he won all their matches at home with the exception of two other home matches this season.

“Some of them said that Arsenal and Bayern Munich were better than us. This is what I heard.”

“I think what is the relationship of this is how Paris Saint -Germain improved a lot in two months to three months since they played in Arsenal and Bayern.

“In Arsenal they were less, waiting much more and now they only press all over the stadium and constantly risk one.

Paris Saint -Germain coach Luis Enrique believes that the team that prevails in the last league tie against Liverpool in Anfield will be the Champions League finals.

“The most important game is the one that comes after that and I hope [the most important game] “It will be the last season,” he said.

“Although we are giving up the first stage, we will play our own game from the beginning. Regardless of the result [in Paris] We will not do anything different.

“At the present time, we are abroad, so our only option is to go out and win and this is what drives us. I don’t think Arne Slot has a lot of doubts about the beginning of our eleventh, I got my thoughts about the beginning of the eleventh as well.

“I will not give up on who we will play or how we will play, but over two games we will see two of the best teams in Europe, and two competitors for the final, and everyone who passes to the final will go.”

Enrique is sure that his team can deal with pressure in a “historic stadium”.

“I am completely convinced that each of my players will want to play,” he added.

“We know what Liverpool means with a historical stadium and a great history. It is a great source of motivation for players and we want to show that we are able to perform.

“It is difficult to manage the emotions and feelings of the individual, as this is not easy to prepare and it is not easy to be 100 percent.

“But you don’t want to be in 105 or 110 percent because you can start, so you have to manage your feelings in the best possible way.”

Why the Champions League tied with Liverpool away from the end

Sky Sports’ Rich Morgan:

Liverpool may seem to be one in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after its 1-0 victory last week over Paris Saint-Germain, but on the part of the opening it is to make a big mistake if they have to reduce the task that faces them when the Champions League 1 Anfield visits the return meeting.

History is definitely against the Parisians when they travel to Mersiside. Of the 27 teams previously losing the first match match at home in a knockout tie in the Champions League, only three advanced.

Meanwhile, on the seven occasions that Liverpool won in the first stage of the house, they continued to win the return match three times, and lost twice.

However, Paris Saint -Germain must be warned that even when Reds lost the second stage in Anfield, they are still able to reach both times, at the end of 16 against Barcelona in 2006/2007 and inside Milan in 2021/22.

In fact, as soon as Liverpool won the first stage of the knockout in the Champions League and was eliminated, as happened when Gerard Holiller defeated Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 in Anfield in the last eight in 2001/2002, just to leave after a 4-2 loss in Bayarina.

However, although the possibilities may seem very stacked against PSG, which makes it even the quarter -finals – Skybet gives them 7/4 chance to win an ANFIELD – there are many reasons for hope in the Luis Enrique team.
