Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique urged his squad to shrug off the disappointment of last week's home leg loss against Liverpool and believe they can win the return leg on Tuesday night to progress to the last eight of the Champions League.
PSG outplayed Liverpool at the Parc des Princes on 5 March but lost 1-0.
They face the daunting task of overturning the deficit at one of the most iconic stadiums in world football.
"We all know that Anfield is a legendary stadium with a huge history behind it," said Enrique on the eve of the clash.
"We are fully motivated as individuals and as a team to put in a good performance against a very good Liverpool side at their stadium."
Enrique admitted his experience as a coach could help his players to believe that a comeback is possible.
When he was steering Barcelona in 2017, he oversaw the 6-1 victory at the Camp Nou which eliminated PSG in the last-16 of the Champions League. And in last season's quarter-finals in the Champions League, Enrique was at the helm of the PSG team which came from from 4-2 down to beat Barcelona 6-4 on aggregate.
"Back in 2017, It would have been better if PSG had not beaten Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg," Enrique quipped.
"In my career, even when tings go badly, I have believed that there will be situations that can be managed. There is no problem for me facing these challenges directly."
Preparation
PSG prepared for the tie at Anfield with a 4-1 win on Saturday afternoon at Rennes, which sent them 16 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 following the loss of second-placed Marseille on Saturday night.
Liverpool too are virtually assured of their domestic top flight crown. They beat Southampton 3-1 on Saturday and sit 15 points ahead of Arsenal who have played one game less.
"We haven't changed the way we prepare for a game," Enrique added. "What is true is that as things stand we're going out. So we have only one option and that is to go out to win which is exactly what we would have done even if we had got a different result in the first leg."
Immediately after last week's game, the Liverpool boss Arne Slot admitted the better side had lost.
Just before the second leg, he warned his players that they would have to operate at a higher level.
"Before we played the game in Paris, I watched many PSG games and I was really impressed with the intensity they play at, the team cohesion, the rotations in midfield," said Slot.
"They are such a complete team, such a well-managed team. Some people said we played poorly. I don't agree. I think PSG played tremendously well. I don't think we've faced this season a team that combined that much quality with that much intensity.
"But I do think we can do better. I am not saying we played poorly or not well at all, but we are a better team than we were last week and that's something we have to prove."
