Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) players are confident they can turn their Champions League campaign around after a dramatic 1-0 win over Liverpool in the first leg. Despite being dominated by the Reds, PSG scored on their only shot on target and made several key saves from Alisson Becker.
Midfielder Vitinha said the team was “tough” to play against, but they will show their personality and strength in the return leg at Anfield. Defender Willian Pacho echoed his teammate’s sentiments, saying they had many chances to score and were unlucky not to get a result.
Full-back Achraf Hakimi added that he is frustrated with the loss, but believes PSG dominated the match and have the determination to qualify. The team will now focus on improving for the return leg, which could be their last chance to win the Champions League.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are looking to end the campaign with a bang after being knocked out of the FA Cup. The Reds are free to focus on their Champions League campaign, particularly against PSG, who have spent nearly £2 billion on players but still haven’t won the trophy.
The winners of this tie will likely face Aston Villa in the quarter-finals. With the Premier League title all but wrapped up, Arne Slot’s side are eager to make a statement in the Champions League.
