Liverpool manager Arne Slot says that Paris St-Germain ‘The most complete team is that we have confronted so far’ prior to their last-load 16-drawing game on the second leg.
PSG was fantastic last week and forced Alisson in a career-high performance before the late goal by Harvey Elliott gave the Reds a narrow 1-0 victory.
Slot has promised that his side will be more proactive in Anfield on Tuesday evening and he is not going to lean back on their slim benefit.
“Is there a difference (leading 1-0)? No. We try to play every game to try to win, “he said.
“That is also what we tried to do last week, it was not our intention to always be so low (deep).
“Tomorrow we want to play another game, the intention is always the same – we are not going for a draw.
“In Manchester City gone that was not the situation, with PSG that was not the situation. But we take faith from our home game against City where we had the ball much more and it was much more a draw. “
Asked if it would require their best performance among him so far, has been added: “Yes. I think so. This is the most complete team that we have confronted so far.
“We have confronted with Arsenal and City and they are not big margins, but the intensity they (PSG) play in combination with the quality – and they are one of the richest clubs – and a great manager is not easy to play against.”
Slot is stimulated by the return of forward Cody Gakpo after an injury. The winners of the draw will be confronted with Club Brugge or Aston Villa in the quarterfinals.
PSG boss Luis Enrique said that his side cannot wait for the legendary European atmosphere in Anfield.
“No player in the team does not want to play here. It is a legendary stadium in the history of football in Europe, “said Enrique.
“It is a huge motivation for the players and as a team. We want to show that we are able to play a good game in the Liverpool stadium. “
