PSG v Liverpool: Petit far from confident about Paris’ chances | OneFootball

Among the quarterfinals of the 2025-2026 Champions League, there is the clash between Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, just like in the round of 16 last season. While the mood is optimistic for Paris in France, Emmanuel Petit, former French international who notably played in the Premier League and is now a consultant for RMC Sport, wanted to calm everyone down.

Petit: “Don’t tell me we’ve found the Paris Saint-Germain again.”

Petit’s point of view is understandable, because PSG is not perfect. No team is. The Parisians will need to be in good shape, remain efficient, and eliminate defensive errors in order to reach the semi-finals. That’s how it is at the highest level—there’s not much room for error. Liverpool, of course, deserves respect. Some people are a bit too confident.

However, the Reds are also far from perfect, and there’s no particular reason for Paris to worry either. Above all, these will be two great football matches, where everything can change on “details.” Petit could still be a bit more positive about PSG, which he has apparently “lost.” Especially since the collective level of the Parisian team remains very high.
