But the fact it is having to go blow-for-blow with PSG after topping the league phase of the revamped Champions League is objectively very unfortunate — a fact encapsulated by Luis Enrique's prediction ahead of the second leg.

Somehow, Liverpool left the Parc des Princes with a 1-0 aggregate advantage in the Round of 16 matchup.

As Enrique pointed out in his press conference, the French side is out as things stand, and has no option but to go out and win.

Regardless of who comes out on top, Enrique predicted that the winner of the tie would venture all the way to the final of the Champions League.

While he was reluctant to give too much away, he heaped high praise on Liverpool:

"I don’t think Arne Slot has much doubts about our starting 11 tomorrow, I don’t pay too much attention to what is going on elsewhere," Enrique claimed.

"No I am not going to give away who is going to play or how.

"But over the course of the two games we are going to see two of the best teams in Europe.
