This Wednesday at 9pm (UTC+1), Paris Saint-Germain take on Liverpool at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the Ligue 1 2024-2025 Round of 16 (return on Tuesday March 11). In a press conference after the victory over Newcastle, Reds coach Arne Slot spoke about the match and the Parisian opponent. He was full of praise for his future opponent.
Slot “I’m already thinking about PSG”.
“I don’t know because I don’t think like that. I’m already thinking about PSG and I saw them against Manchester City, I’m impressed by their quality, they’re on a similar run to us. I’ll forget about the Premier League until our next Southampton game (March 8).”
It’s also all about convenience. The respect is mutual and both teams are struggling to know where they stand. Both teams dominate their league outrageously, and Liverpool’s advantage is that they’ve been consistent since the start of the season.
At PSG, there have been clashes and doubts, and the English club have the upper hand for the moment, coming into this match as favourites. But Slot is right, this PSG is ruthless and we have to be wary of it. This will make the approach to the match all the more interesting. Both coaches want to believe, and it’s the pitch that will decide between the two potential winners.
