Liverpool’s quest for Champions League glory continues this evening as they travel to the French capital to take on Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their last-16 clash.
Arne Slot’s men, who finished top of the table in the new league phase, went straight through to this stage of the competition and were rewarded with a fixture against a resurgent and fine-tund PSG.
Liverpool won seven of their eight league phase games and with a firm grip on the Premier League trophy (they are 13 points clear at the top) they can focus their efforts on progessing in Europe.
PSG, meanwhile, came through the play-off round. A 3-0 win in their first leg against Brest did the damage in the tie but the compounded that with a 7-0 spanking at the Parc de Princes in the second leg.

Prediction
PSG are in a good run of form and will bring some confidence into the match after their 10-0 aggregate win over Brest. Liverpool are a different opponent though and although Arne Slot’s side may not be hitting the same levels they did at the beginning of the year they are still formidable and know how to win.
PSG 1-2 Liverpool.
