PSG boss Luis Enrique sends message to Liverpool after ‘unfair’ first leg defeat

PSG boss Luis Enrique warned Liverpool, his side will be dangerous in Anfield.

The boss of the Ligue 1-side staggered after the 87th minute winner of Harvey Elliott posted the Reds for this Champions League Last-16-equal game. PSG came across Reds keeper Alisson Becker in the form of his life when he made nine saves to deny them.

Now the French outfit has to travel to Anfield next week for what a blockbuster struggle is in the second stage. Enrique said, “We have nothing to lose and that makes us dangerous.”

PSG could have been three or four in the break, while Alisson continued to deny Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after the break. The Ligue 1-leaders had an unbeaten run of 22 game and scored 40 goals in their previous 10 games.

Enrique added: “It is difficult to think about the game in a positive way. We deserved to win. The best player of Liverpool was their goalkeeper. Football is many times unfair.

“We have nothing to lose and we are ready for Liverpool. Of course we will do it.”

Alisson greeted his amazing display like the performance of his life. The Brazilian said: “It was probably the performance of my life.

“The manager told us how difficult it would be to play against PSG, how good they are with the ball and that we should be ready to suffer. We knew what would come.

“All the efforts that the team made make my work easier. Then at the end Harvey [Elliott] Come in and scored the goal, it's a great story for us. A great evening. “

Ibrahima Konate escaped Red for a first half challenge on Bradley Barcola when the PSG Forward was in goal, but Liverpool boss Arne Slot praised the Italian referee Davide Massa.

Slot said: “It was just a top referee who should be in a game like this. I think if the referee had blown his whistle, the VAR would not have destroyed it.

“And now it was also clear to me that he should not have destroyed it because it was not clearly wrong. And it's a big decision, that's true. “

Enrique refused to take the issue by saying that he does not discuss referees.
