After having a great league phase in the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool now get ready to clash with PSG in the first leg of the round of 16.
The Reds ended the league phase of UCL in an almost perfect manner, with seven wins and 21 points in eight games, finishing at the top of the points table.
The only loss the Merseysiders endured was against the Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in the last game of the league phase.
However, in their defense, Arne Slot chose to field a rather inexperienced team in that match to rest the A-team.
Now, to continue their stride for the Champions League silverware, the Anfield giants will be travelling to Paris to face Les Parisiens at their home for the first leg of the round of 16.
Their confidence is now boosted by the recent victories against Manchester City and Newcastle United.
The hosts, on the other hand, have found a new balance with the additions of Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Their unbeaten last five matches definitely positively add to their form and confidence.
