⚽ UEFA Champions League · Quarter-Final Preview
This is the rematch Malaysian football fans have been waiting for. PSG — the defending Champions League holders who knocked Liverpool out at this very stage last season — face Slot's rejuvenated Reds in a quarter-final that has "instant classic" written all over it. Liverpool squeezed past Galatasaray with a 4-1 aggregate win; PSG dismantled Chelsea 8-2. The styles are completely different. The storylines are irresistible.

PSG and Liverpool met at this exact stage last season. The Parisians won on penalties after a dramatic tie, going on to claim the Champions League title. Liverpool — who pushed PSG to extra time — will be desperate for revenge this time around.
Arne Slot himself called last season's tie "the best game I've managed in my career" — not in terms of the result, but in terms of how football should be played. Both teams went at each other, and Liverpool were the only side all tournament to take PSG to extra time and penalties. The Reds know they can hurt the Parisians. They also know exactly how dangerous this PSG side is.
PSG didn't drop a gear after winning the title — if anything, they look sharper this season. An 8-2 aggregate demolition of Chelsea in the Round of 16 sent a clear message. Liverpool, meanwhile, bounced back from a rocky group phase with a dominant 4-1 aggregate win over Galatasaray, including a commanding 4-0 performance at Anfield in the second leg.
PSG are the defending champions and they've shown no signs of slowing down. Ousmane Dembélé — last season's Ballon d'Or winner — leads a terrifying forward line alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, and Désiré Doué. Vitinha remains one of the best midfielders in Europe. Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes are arguably the best fullback pairing on the continent.
Liverpool arrive under real fixture pressure — five games in 16 days including this tie and the FA Cup quarter-final against Man City on April 4. Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, and Dominik Szoboszlai give Slot a fearsome array of attacking options. Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté remain one of the best centre-back partnerships in Europe.

PSG edge the first leg at the Parc des Princes but Liverpool keep it close enough to make Anfield a proper contest. PSG's home record and defending champion status tips it their way, but this is far from over after 90 minutes in Paris.
PSG haven't lost at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League for over two years. But Liverpool are the only team in European football to have taken them to extra time and penalties. Florian Wirtz is a new and seriously dangerous variable that PSG haven't faced.
