Overview
A top match is about to take place in the UEFA Champions League when Paris Saint-Germain faces Liverpool in the quarter-finals, in the journey to defend the title of the French team.
Despite having to go through the play-offs, PSG showed superior strength when they crushed Chelsea with a total score of 8-2 in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Liverpool had to come back against Galatasaray when losing 0-1 in the first leg before winning 4-0 at Anfield.
Coach Luis Enrique's team continues to show their luck against England representatives when they are unbeaten in the last 6 Champions League matches (5 wins, 1 draw), having faced Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. They have also overcome opponents such as Liverpool, Aston Villa, Arsenal and Chelsea in recent knockout rounds.
PSG is in the quarterfinals for the third consecutive time, but it is noteworthy that they have been eliminated in this round in 4/5 recent seasons. However, their current form is very impressive as they are unbeaten in 7 consecutive knockout matches (6 wins, 1 draw) and can equal Lyon's record if they continue to extend this streak.
In the opposite direction, Liverpool is facing great pressure. Coach Arne Slot's team has only won 2/7 recent matches, just lost to Brighton and was crushed 4-0 by Manchester City in the FA Cup. In total, they have lost 15 matches this season - the most since the 2014-2015 season.
This match promises many goals when PSG (90) and Liverpool (85) are the two teams with the most shots on target in the tournament. However, the effectiveness is clearly different: PSG scored 34 goals (xG +8.8), while Liverpool only had 24 goals (xG -3.7).
On the personal side, Florian Wirtz is a great source of creativity with 27 chances created, while Dominik Szoboszlai leads Liverpool in many important indicators. On PSG's side, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is exploding with 16 goals participating since the beginning of 2026.
The great battle in Paris is not only a showdown between two heavyweights, but also a test of bravery for Liverpool - a team that is forced to find itself again if they do not want the season to end in disappointment.
Head-to-head record
PSG and Liverpool have faced each other 6 times in European cups, with a balanced record of 3 wins each.
The last encounter took place in the UEFA Champions League last season, when both won 1-0 away in the round of 16. However, Paris Saint-Germain advanced after winning 4-1 in a penalty shootout at Anfield.
In that match, Liverpool was clearly inferior in terms of game when they only controlled the ball an average of 38.6% and suffered a large decrease in the number of shots on target. In total after two legs, they only had 4 shots on target compared to PSG's 18 times - the largest negative difference of an English team in a Champions League knockout match since the 2003-2004 season.
