It felt completely different on the night but the result was 2-0 and we have shown many times this season in big games that we are able to give a great performance. We have also shown a different side, I am aware of that, but for the ones that have been with me for the past one and a half years, in the 49 home games we played we were able to score two goals or more in 36.

(It is 36 in 50 games since losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest in September 2024.)“Yes, we don’t play PSG in all 49 home games but we have played very strong opponents in the Champions League and Premier League. There is a belief we can do special things tomorrow but we need to be very, very special to achieve that as we are playing against the champions of Europe.

The amount of times we have shown we can be much better than we were against PSG is clear. The last time we faced them they had the ball 70% so that is the first thing we have to change.”Szoboszlai said Liverpool had to go “all in” from the first minute until the final whistle to knock out a PSG team who were given a free weekend to prepare for the second leg by France’s Ligue de Football Professionel.
