Liverpool stand on the brink of the Champions League quarter-finals, but they must first navigate a dangerous second-leg clash against a determined Paris Saint-Germain side at Anfield on Tuesday. The Reds carry a slender 1-0 lead from the first leg, where substitute Harvey Elliott’s late strike secured a smash-and-grab victory in Paris. However, PSG dominated the encounter and will arrive in England determined to turn the tie around.
Despite controlling possession and registering 10 shots on target at the Parc des Princes, PSG found themselves on the losing end, largely due to a heroic performance from Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson. The Brazilian’s string of superb saves earned him the UCL Player of the Week award and kept the French giants at bay.
PSG boss Luis Enrique remains confident, vowing a comeback at Anfield, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. His side has been in electric form in 2025, winning 11 of their last 12 matches—ironically, their only defeat coming against Liverpool in the first leg.
Liverpool, currently leading the Premier League, will be eager to put in a much-improved performance in front of their home fans. Anfield has been a fortress in European nights, and with a potential quarter-final clash against either Aston Villa or Club Brugge on the horizon, Arne Slot’s men will look to finish the job with a more commanding display.
In their last three meetings, Liverpool have won twice while PSG have won once, giving the Reds a psychological edge. However, given PSG’s firepower and attacking prowess, the return leg promises to be a high-stakes battle where the French champions will throw everything forward in search of redemption.
