Eliminated from the national cups and distanced in the championship, Liverpool has shown a completely different face on the continental stage. And since the Champions League is the only trophy that the Mersey club can hope to win at the end of this season, the Reds have made it a real objective. With 6 victories in the league phase, Arne Slot and his men shone by finishing on the podium. In the previous round, they defeated Galatasaray, winning 4 goals to 1 on aggregate over the two matches.
On the other hand, while Paris Saint-Germain had to go through the playoffs and a tough AS Monaco team (2-3, 2-2), the Red and Blue managed to demonstrate the extent of their qualities in the Round of 16 against Chelsea. After winning 5-2 in a buzzing Parc des Princes, the capital club went on to assert themselves authoritatively on the pitch at Stamford Bridge a week later (0-3). An ideal way to prepare for the Reds' armada.
The dynamics in numbers
2 – Paris Saint-Germain (90) and Liverpool FC (85) are the two teams that have had the most shots on target in the Champions League this season.
7 – Paris has not lost any of its last 7 knockout matches in the Champions League (6 wins, 1 draw) and could equal the longest streak by a French team in the competition (8 for Olympique Lyonnais).
11 – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is involved in 11 goals in the Champions League this season (7 goals, 4 assists), which is already the second-highest total of a Parisian player in the same edition behind Ousmane Dembélé in 2024-2025 (14).
In goal for the Reds, Arne Slot will trust Giorgi Mamardashvili. Teammate of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the national team, the former Valencia keeper takes over in the absence of Alisson, who is still unavailable. In central defense, the duo Virgil van Dijk/Ibrahima Konaté remains the reference. Essential, the former is still the captain of his side, while the French international is preferred to Joe Gomez.
In the full-back positions, Jeremie Frimpong will of course be expected on the right side. The Dutch international has established himself as one of the best players in the world in his position, and he should be accompanied on the opposite side by Milos Kerkez. Arrived last summer from Bournemouth, the Hungarian international has quickly made his mark within the Liverpool squad, to the point of relegating Andrew Robertson to the bench.
In midfield, it is Alexis Mac Allister who holds the reins. The reigning world champion with Argentina is the true game regulator for his team, well supported by Ryan Gravenberch alongside him. Together, they form a complementary duo supporting Dominik Szoboszlai (12 goals and 8 assists across all competitions this season). A key player for Liverpool since the start of the season, the former Leipzig playmaker continues to impress in recent months. He has become one of the most effective midfielders in the world and the technical leader of his side.
As for the attack, it should be led by Hugo Ekitiké (17 goals, 6 assists), starting at the forefront to cover for the absence of Alexander Isak, who is vying for a return to the squad but is not expected to start the match. The left wing should then be occupied by the excellent Florian Wirtz (6 goals, 9 assists), who seems to be gaining momentum since his arrival at the Mersey. On the right flank, Mohamed Salah (10 goals, 9 assists) will obviously be part of the game. As for Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa, the two wingers could make their appearance during the match, just like the very young Rio Ngumoha (17 years old).
