Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Both the teams sit comfortably on top of their respective leagues but their route to UCL Round of 16 was different, as Liverpool topped the charts but PSG managed 15th position on the table. This meant that they had to play against Brest to reach the Round of 16.
Liverpool might not have liked the draws as even after finishing 1st on the table they managed to get PSG who are a big force to reckon with.
PSG have had a rollercoaster ride in the Champions league but they seem to have found their feet as they defeated Brest 10-0 on aggregate in play off knockouts.
Liverpool will not be so easy to handle but PSG would be looking to find a good lead as the 1st leg will be played in Parc Des Princes.
“It will be intense. On paper, it is one of the best matches you can watch in Europe. They’re one of the best teams in terms of counter attacking,” Luis Enrique told a press conference on Tuesday.

Adding to their worries, Cody Gakpo’s status is uncertain after he reinjured himself blocking a shot during training on Monday. Although the Dutch forward has travelled with the squad, his availability remains in doubt.
