French points of sale have focused on Liverpool prior to their match against Paris Saint-Germain in the second stage of the Champions League round of 16 on Anfield on Tuesday.
The Reds will organize the Ligue 1-title holders with a lead of one goal after their happy game in the capital of France last week.
The band of Arne Slot took off a smash-and-grab victory after the goal of Harvey Elliott had sealed a 1-0 win, because PSG had a total of 27 shots and 10 on goal.
In the meantime, Liverpool only had two shots during the entire match, with their second strike in a goal of the academy product in the 87th minute.
Prior to the match on Tuesday evening, however, the press from France weighed on PSG's chances for a comeback in Anfield, because they claimed that the side of Luis Enrique could 'overthrow' in their own 'Kingdom'.
'Beautiful last week, despite the defeat, PSG knew how he could keep hope. In Anfield on Tuesday evening, the Parisians seem to be able to overthrow Liverpool in their kingdom, mentioned 'L' equipe on their front valve.
'[It is] The moment for PSG to reveal itself to itself and the world.
'The boys of Liverpool can spoil themselves to say what the substance of the first leg was, but in their eyes the naked truth is that they had not expected it, and they did not imagine that they will be run over to such relationships.
“In most areas that matter, PSG were far above red.”
The analysis comes after Liverpool had a fairly poor performance in the capital of France, where goalkeeper Alisson had to make nine saves to win the Princes in Parc.
The Reds had since won their Premier League collision against Bottom Rangs Southampton despite a gloomy representation in the first half.
After the opener of William Smallbone in the 46th minute, the coaching staff of the Reds managed to save the three points, so that different substitutions were made during the rest.
While Arne Slot was in the stands because of his suspension, a equalizer of Darwin Nunez and a brace from Mohamed Salah achieved a 3-1 comeback victory in Anfield.
Before the collision against PSG, however, the Dutch manager admitted that Enrique's side was the best team he had to do with.
'In a week like this I don't dream at all. I only know that I really, really, have to work very hard to prepare the team in the best possible way, “said Slot.
'If you have a game like we did last week, you have the feeling:' Can I even go to sleep completely? Or do I have to look even more? “So no, I'm not dreaming about this week at the moment.
'This is the most complete team that we have confronted so far. What I mean completely is that, ok, we have confronted with Arsenal and City and they are not big margins, but the intensity they play in combination with the quality they have and they are one of the richest clubs. '
His admiration comes after PSG has recommended itself as one of the best teams in Europe in 2025, after a few innovative tactical changes from Enrique in the attacking line.
Although the arrival of the Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was an important boost for the team, the Spaniard allowed all his three attacking men to freedom. At the same time, midfield and the defensive lines provide security at the back.
This explains why Ousmane Dembele is considered one of the leading contenders for the Ballon d'Or at the end of the season, because the Frenchman has so far scored 28 goals in 35 performances.
'We know what Liverpool means with a historic stadium and a beautiful history. It is a huge source of motivation for the players and we want to show that we are able to do a performance, “Enrique said on Monday.
'It is difficult to manage someone's emotions and feelings, these are not simple games to prepare and it is not easy to be 100 percent.
“But you don't want to be at 105 or 110 percent because you can carry yourself, so that you have to manage your emotions in the best possible way.”
