Despite an undivided domination during the first leg, Paris Saint-Germain was surprised by Liverpool. Beaten at the Parc des Princes as part of the knockout stages of the Champions League which oppose it to the Reds (0-1), the capital's club has no choice but to reverse the trend on Tuesday in Anfield. Only one goal for the men of Luis Enrique who want to believe in their chances. But some are much more pessimistic.
Pascal Dupraz was not very enthusiastic this Sunday on
RMC. For him, Paris will not pass. “PSG lacked efficiency. No matter how much to have Allisson in the goals, there will still be. There were situations where the Parisians should have scored. Please note, there will be a return match. No one can say who will prevail, but nevertheless I have the impression that the Parisians have allowed their chance to pass. »» It would therefore be (almost) too late for PSG, according to the former ASSE coach.
Ousmane Dembélé must answer present
For him, Liverpool will not show the same face at all as last Wednesday. “If you count on Liverpool to be as harmless as they were at the park, then we are wrong because in Anfield, it's another pair of sleeves. (…) I think the first leg dominated by Paris Saint-Germain will leave traces. »» Pascal Dupraz has also called for PSG's strong man in recent weeks. “I would like Ooumane Dembélé to find his standards that we did not know him. »»
The observer would like the tricolor international to find the path of the nets, he who has not scored in C1 for two games. “In the first leg, Dembélé fell back into his flaws in front of the goal. He missed situations, he often struck offline (…). It was not effective. »» However, Pascal Dupraz did not want to completely blacken the painting and evoked the positive state of mind and encouraging Parisians. So there remains a little glimmer of hope.
