Liverpool are Paris Saint-Germain’s opponents in the Champions League quarter-finals (April 8 and 14), so we’ll be keeping a close eye on their performances until the second leg. This Saturday, the Reds faced Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals. They conceaded a 4-0 defeat.
Liverpool’s starting lineup:
Ekitike
Wirtz – Szoboszlai – Salah
Jones – Gravenberch
Kerkez – Van Dijk – Konaté – Gomez
Mamardashvili
Liverpool certainly didn’t inspire confidence before heading to the Parc des Princes, conceding two goals in each half. It wasn’t all bad, however, but the gap in efficiency in both penalty areas was glaring (13 shots to 12 in favor of Liverpool, 50% possession). Erling Haaland took full advantage with a hat-trick, and City advanced to the semi-finals. As for manager Arne Slot, the pressure is mounting, and the search for the right formula against PSG promises to be intense.
