The defending triple French champions will first welcome the current leader of the Premier League at the Parc des Princes, on March 4, before moving to the L'Antre des Reds, Anfield, on March 11.
In comments relayed by the English club, the Liverpuldian coach Arne Slot delivered his impressions on this upcoming shock. There is no doubt about the quality of the Parisian collective, in view of its current dynamics. This is evidenced by his 19 games without defeat, all competitions combined, including a series in progress of 7 consecutive victories.
“It is also a challenge that we are impatiently awaiting”
“At this stage of the competition, the quality of the opponent will only be very high and in PSG, they have built a team and a club with a real European pedigree. They qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League earlier this week thanks to a large victory against Brest and they obtained very good results in the first round by beating Stuttgart, Manchester City, Girona and Salzburg. As is the case for us, PSG is at the top of its national championship and is experiencing a long series of invincibility ”analyzed Slot.
“It tells us everything we need to know about the challenge we will face. But it is also a challenge that we are impatiently awaiting, knowing that we fully deserve to be among the last 16. Of course, we focus immediately on our next Premier League games, starting with Manchester City on Sunday, but we will do our best to be in the best form possible when resuming the Champions League “,
