Mamadou Sakho is not siding with either of his former clubs as Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool get set to do battle in the Champions League this week.

Former France international Sakho started his career at PSG before joining Liverpool and he claimed he did not have a favorite team heading into Wednesday's meeting at the Parc des Princes.
