Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of Paris Saint-Germain is confident about his team's prospects in the Champions League this season, even suggesting they could eliminate Liverpool in the round of 16.

The fates of these two football titans are set to potentially cross with the highly anticipated Champions League knockout stage draw set to take place on Friday, February 21, at 11am UK time (6am ET).

The knockout phase depends on the outcome of the league phase to a large extent, with Arne Slot's side securing automatic qualification to the last 16 as a top seed.

Liverpool could face off against either PSG or Benfica; whichever team the Reds do not draw will go up against Barcelona.

"We just have to concentrate and put everything on the field."

Liverpool might still have a say in the matter, depending on how the draw for the next round pans out.

However, Slot will need to bolster a defense that has only managed two clean sheets in their last nine games if he hopes to knock PSG out of Europe.

PSG in good Champions League form before last-16 draw

PSG didn't just defeat Brest over two legs; it obliterated them with a 10-0 aggregate scoreline.

Kvaratskhelia, a $75 million (£59m/€71m) summer acquisition from Napoli, netted his first Champions League goal and assist for his new team on Wednesday.

It was during European competition two seasons ago that he made a name for himself with an exceptional performance against Liverpool at the Diego Maradona Stadium while playing for his former Italian club.

The Reds held a long term interest but when it was time for the 24-year-old to make a move during the recent January transfer window, Liverpool did not compete with PSG for the high-profile signing, leaving a clear path across Europe.
