Top 5 reasons to watch PSG v Liverpool | OneFootball

Here is our series. The 5 good reasons to follow a match (with a few adjustments sometimes). Before each game, we’ll look back at the appealing aspects with a mix of seriousness and humor. This is not meant to be an exhaustive overview of the subject. We continue here with Paris Saint-Germain’s match this Wednesday against Liverpool at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League quarter-finals (second leg on April 14) (kick-off 9 p.m., PSG/Liverpool broadcast on Canal+).

5. Liverpool struggling, really?

Very often, PSG’s opponent in Europe is described as being out of form, almost “easy” to beat. In Liverpool’s case, it can partly be understood. The Reds are far from the Premier League title this season, sitting 5th and more than 20 points behind the leaders. Their Champions League run has also been less impressive. In their play, there are sometimes signs of being stuck. However, there is still a huge squad, and coach Arne Slot has not lost everything. In a European match, everyone knows how to raise their game, and Liverpool will want to remind people of their level.

4. Revenge for last season.

Even if the result of this quarter-final cannot change the past, it is easy to imagine that Liverpool want to somewhat erase last season’s painful elimination by going through this time. PSG, for their part, can rely on the confidence of having been able to turn the situation around at Anfield. In any case, we can once again expect two intense and spectacular matches.

3. Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia… exceptional goals to come?

Lately, Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25-year-old forward), in particular, have been in especially good form and have managed to score goals of the highest quality. We can hope they continue with the same confidence. Without forgetting that other players could absolutely shine as well. Paris is well equipped.

2. Another ultra-efficient PSG in the Champions League?

Often frustrating, and even very unfairly criticized, because of their lack of efficiency this season, PSG were impressive in that area against Chelsea, winning 8-2 on aggregate. Will it be possible to keep it going? It would be a great sign for qualification, and for the spectacle as well.

1. Savor it, quite simply.

Football should be a pleasure, and there is not much better than these Champions League nights. There will be a special atmosphere, top-level quality, strong emotions… What could be better than fully enjoying the match? Especially since you never know whether a club will be able to return to this stage of the competition the following season.
