Paris Saint-Germain travel to the formidable Anfield on Tuesday night, holding a commanding position in their Champions League quarter-final tie against Liverpool. With a 2-0 first-leg advantage and riding a wave of five consecutive victories, Luis Enrique's side is in imperious form.
The French champions have been clinical during this streak, netting 17 goals while keeping three clean sheets. Their dominance was particularly evident in the first leg, where they suffocated Liverpool's attack, preventing a single shot on target. Despite this strong position, PSG will be acutely aware of Anfield's history of European comebacks and will be determined to avoid any costly slip-ups.
Team news offers further encouragement for the visitors. The squad has been boosted by the return of winger Bradley Barcola from an ankle injury, and a postponed weekend league fixture means the team arrives relatively fresh. The only significant absences are midfielder Fabian Ruiz and Quentin Ndjantou.
All eyes will be on PSG's explosive front three, expected to feature Ousmane Dembélé and the dazzling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. However, Kvaratskhelia and defender Nuno Mendes must tread carefully, as a yellow card tonight would see them suspended for a potential semi-final first leg.
With a near-full-strength squad and momentum on their side, PSG are well-equipped to manage this high-stakes encounter and book their place in the final four.
Predicted PSG Starting XI: Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Neves; Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
The match kicks off at 8 PM BST on Tuesday, April 14th, and will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video for viewers in the UK.
