Paris Saint-Germain faces a crucial week with two high-stakes matches on the calendar. While Le Classique is just around the corner, Luis Enrique’s team makes a stop at Anfield in the Champions League, aiming to overturn a tie where they failed to capitalize at home.

Can PSG Eliminate Liverpool?

The first leg at Parc des Princes was one of the strangest. PSG took 28 shots, with Alisson Becker producing a record number of saves in the competition.

This is the key for PSG: the high number of chances should work to their advantage. While they created opportunities in the first leg of the Round of 16, they failed to score.

The crucial scoreline for PSG is 0-1 at Anfield, and from this result, they will aim for more goals. Even a single goal ensures extra time, and if necessary, penalties to determine who advances to the quarterfinals.

Now, any victory by two goals guarantees PSG's passage to the next round. It's a big challenge ahead, but it's not impossible given the team's high level at this stage. Still, Liverpool, though leaders in England, are not in their best form.

To reach the quarterfinals, Luis Enrique will need his players to stay focused and ensure that their attacking chances are converted. Order and efficiency will be key.

PSG’s Advantage

PSG has progressed in two of their last five Champions League eliminations after losing the first leg, overturning ties against Borussia Dortmund in the 2019-20 Round of 16 (3-2 on aggregate) and Barcelona in the 2023-24 quarterfinals (6-4 on aggregate).
