While PSG and Liverpool have only met twice in the past, each club holds one win. However, looking at the stats and team forms this year, PSG have a slight edge over Liverpool. But this will not stop their opponents from putting on a tough fight. After all, here are two of the biggest European clubs that will face each other.
“We will play against the best team in Europe, qualified brilliantly, but it is not in our mentality to speculate, protect ourselves, stay defensive. We will attack and we will try to turn that in our favour,” Luis Enrique mentioned in an interview.
On the other hand, Arne Slot commented, “Do we fear PSG? We don’t fear anybody. But, I am impressed by their quality, they are on an upward curve a bit similar to ours.”
Will Slot’s lethal possession-based approach triumph over Enrique’s high pressing and quick transitions or will the Parisians overtake the Gunners on sheer home advantage? Whatever the outcome, this match promises a show of the most brilliant footballing action with expected goals from both sides.
