Holders PSG vs. Struggling Liverpool: CL Rematch
8 Apr
Summary
- PSG, the reigning Champions League holders, face Liverpool in a rematch.
- Liverpool enters the tie as underdogs after a mixed season.
- Key player Bradley Barcola is a doubt for PSG due to injury.
Paris Saint-Germain, the current Champions League holders, are preparing to face Liverpool in a quarterfinal showdown. The first leg is scheduled for Wednesday night in the French capital.
Last season, these two teams met in the round of 16, with PSG ultimately triumphing on penalties despite losing at home. Since that defeat, Liverpool's win rate has declined significantly.
PSG, having recently won their first Champions League title, has displayed formidable performances, including an 8-2 aggregate victory over Chelsea in the previous round. Liverpool, conversely, enters this tie off the back of a heavy 4-0 defeat against Manchester City in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Injury updates for PSG include Bradley Barcola's potential return from an ankle ligament injury, though he may lack confidence. Fabián Ruiz is out with a knee injury, and Senny Mayulu has a calf issue. Liverpool's lineup may see Mohamed Salah featuring, potentially alongside Hugo Ekitiké, while Alexander Isak could make his return. Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley, and Wataru Endo remain sidelined for Liverpool.
