PSG Baas Luis Enrique believes that the winner of the collision from his side with Liverpool goes all the way to the final of the Champions League.
That is despite the fact that they could still be confronted with holders Real Madrid before they could go to Munich in May for the decision maker. The French giants follow the Reds 1-0 in the last-16 draw despite a dominant version in Parc des Princes last week.
The winners of Tuesday's collision in Anfield will be confronted next month with Aston Villa or Club Brugge in the quarterfinals. Then it will be one of the real, Atletico Madrid or Arsenal that are on the last four.
Enrique, who led Barcelona to the European Cup in 2015, said: “In the course of two games we see two of the best teams in Europe.
“Two contenders for the final and those who walk through tomorrow will continue to the final.”
Enrique will hope that his side can create opportunities like last week in the first stage when Alisson's brilliant keepers Liverpool kept in the draw. But it will be a different game in Anfield under the lights on what promises to be another special European evening on the famous soil.
PSG attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia said: “It will be a tough game, it will be a tough atmosphere in Liverpool, but I know our fans come here and have a great support.
“The most important thing is that when you go to the field, you focus on football. We try to do our best, it doesn't matter if we play in Anfield or in Paris, our goal is to win. “
Arne Slot keeps his approach consistent, despite the price that runs at the meeting. The Dutch coach will send his way to achieve a victory, but warned that he did not expect that it would be so much pressure in the first stage.
“We try to play every game [to] Try to win – that's what we tried to do last week, “said Slot.” It was not our intention to always be that low. We wanted a different game than we played there, but sometimes the other teams, with the help of their fans, both saw what happened. Tomorrow we want to play a different game, but our intention is always the same. We don't go for a draw. “
