Since football is the most irrational of sports, what could be better than the magic of Anfield to make an epic match and enter history? 6 days ago, the Paris Saint-Germain should have won widely against Liverpool. Luis Enrique repeated it, but Arne Slot did not contradict him, which says a lot about the incredible performance of the French champions against the leader of the Premier League. Paris will have to hand over the same ingredients to give itself the right to dream, in the special atmosphere of the lair of the Reds. And this time, Ousmane Dembélé and his teammates hope to have the gods of football with them.
The French world champion will have a major role to play. He is the most decisive man in the world in 2025, with his 20 pawns registered since the beginning of the calendar year. Faced with him, Mo Salah, reduced to the rank of spectator in the park, will still have to be muzzled by Nuno Mendes and the rearguard so as not to become the major actor who makes him the big favorite in the Ballon d'Or until then.
A match in the match among others, like the one opposing the incredible Alisson and Décrié Gigio Donnarumma. As if to remind you that large European evenings almost always change in both areas. Arne Slot, who has a sense of formula, understood this: ” We want to draw inspiration from Real Madrid, who always manages to win, even against a better team“. Do not rely on his counterpart Luis Enrique to change the gear and deny his ideas. Football may be cruel once, but it also happens that it is the best team that passes.
The expected compos
Liverpool: Alisson-Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson-Gravenberch, Mac Allister-Salah, Elliott, Luis Diaz-Darwin Nunez.
Paris SG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz – Barcola, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
