Liverpool/PSG – Konaté says Paris are better than last season | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool faced off this Tuesday at Anfield in the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League quarter-finals. A match that ended in a Parisian 0-2 win (0-4 on aggregate, Liverpool/PSG highlights). After the match, English side defender Ibrahima Konaté (26) answered questions from CBS Sports Golazo.

Konaté: “that’s football.”

0-4, is that a fair scoreline?

Honestly, you could say yes and no. Over there, they had a lot of chances and only scored 2 goals. At Anfield, we felt we could do something special. We had a lot of chances, but we lost. So it’s a bit harsh. It’s a bit like last season, with us having a lot of chances and them very few. But that’s football. We’re sad.

VAR on the penalty?

Last season, we got a penalty like that. It was a clear penalty for me, but the referee didn’t give it, that’s how it is. If we had gotten it and scored, it would have been different.

Konaté: “tonight’s match is significant”

What does your performance against PSG say about your team?

We have to be happy. We have a lot of players coming back from injury. Even though Ekitike is injured, I’m very sad for him. We must not forget what happened this season, but tonight’s match is significant. PSG are stronger than last season, and putting in a performance like that should help us build. We have to understand just how good we can be.

It would be crazy if Liverpool were not in the Champions League next season?

Yes, that’s the minimum for Liverpool. We have to give everything in the final matches to make sure we’re there.
