The draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League therefore gave birth to a shock between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool. The first leg will take place at the Parc des Princes on March 4 or 5, while the return will be played in Anfield on March 11 or 12. While waiting to know the exact programming, the Reds are guaranteed to leave with a small advantage before the first leg.
Indeed, the early elimination in FA Cup against Plymouth of Arne Slot players will allow them not to play on the weekend of March 1. Result: after the Premier League shock against Newcastle on Wednesday, February 26, Liverpool will have six or seven days to prepare the match in the park. For its part, PSG will play Lille on Saturday March 1 and will therefore have three days less than the English to prepare.
