Paris Saint-Germain meets Liverpool this Wednesday April 8 at the Parc des Princes for a highly anticipated quarter-final first leg of the Champions League. A year after their epic double confrontation, the Parisians approach this clash with the status of reigning European champions and confidence at the top, buoyed by a series of convincing victories against Chelsea and Nice.
Liverpool in crisis of confidence before the Park
The team led by Luis Enrique seems to have regained its best technical level. After a convincing success against Toulouse (3-1), the capital club displays renewed pressing and offensive efficiency. If the Spanish coach refuses the label of favorite, the memory of last year's heroic qualification at Anfield remains a powerful engine for the Parisian locker room.

In contrast, Arne Slot's Liverpool are going through a period of turbulence. Humiliated by Manchester City (4-0) in the FA Cup, the Reds have already recorded fifteen defeats this season. Despite the talent of the Ekitiké-Wirtz duo, the British defense is worried by its feverishness, and the Dutch coach is playing big on this double European confrontation.
Salah will be there
For this crucial trip, Liverpool will have to cope without their starting goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who is injured. If Mohamed Salah and his teammates proved their ability to react against Galatasaray in the previous round, the absence of the Brazilian goalkeeper, decisive in the previous edition against PSG, constitutes a major handicap for the defensive stability of the Reds.
On the Parisian side, the hierarchy of goalkeepers raises questions after the disappointing performance of Matveï Safonov against Toulouse. The Russian goalkeeper, who seemed to have taken the advantage over Lucas Chevalier, made two significant errors, casting doubt on the serenity of the French rearguard at the dawn of this major European meeting.
Concerning the PSG infirmary, Luis Enrique confirmed that Bradley Barcola, although back in collective training, will be too tight to start the match. Midfielder Fabian Ruiz remains unavailable. These absences force the technical staff to adapt their starting lineup to maintain the necessary intensity against a Liverpool team capable of sublimating themselves in C1.
On which TV channel and at what time to watch PSG – Liverpool?
