If the sound of ABBA’s Voulez-Vous blasting out of the away dressing room didn't stress the significance of Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League triumph over Liverpool on Tuesday night, then the tone of Luis Enrique's post-match press conference certainly did.

The Spaniard has won nearly all there is to win during a glittering managerial career spanning nearly two decades, most notably at Barcelona when he became just the second manager in the club's history to win a La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League treble.

But it was at Anfield where he masterminded one of the most remarkable triumphs of his career.

Six days after Liverpool's smash-and-grab victory at the Parc des Princes, PSG arrived on Merseyside knowing that they had to rewrite the history books to keep their Champions League dreams alive.

But the Parisians did exactly that as Ousmane Dembele levelled the aggregate score before Gianluigi Donnarumma saved penalties from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones after an exhilarating 120 minutes of action to send PSG into the quarter-finals.

It is no wonder, then, that after a display of remarkable courage and bravery, rarely seen from visiting teams at Anfield, the Ligue 1 outfit cranked up the volume when they returned to the dressing room after a breathtaking night of action.

The fact that the Parisians had become just the fifth team to defeat Arne Slot's runaway Premier League leaders this season more than warranted such wild scenes of jubilation, that no doubt stretched long into the night on Merseyside.

After all, the Qatari Sports Investment group have been desperate to replicate Liverpool's storied success in the European Cup since they acquired the keys to the Parc des Princes in March 2011.

But after just four semi-final appearances in 16 attempts since the Champions League's revamp in the early 1990s, a blend of poor recruitment and a questionable mentality has seen PSG fail to make the grade time and time again in Europe.

But all of that seemed to change on Tuesday night when Enrique took his seat in the Anfield media room to give his version of events just moments after his opposite number, Slot, had described the contest as "the best game" he had ever been involved in.

As expected, the Spaniard was far more diplomatic with his answers when he faced the glare of the world's media and, therefore, made a conscious effort to strike a happy medium; praising his side's performance while also insisting that there is a long way to go before PSG can dream of a first Champions League triumph.

More or less every question aimed at Enrique from members of the French media centred around how the Ligue 1 champions were now the strong 'favourites' to lift the Champions League trophy at the Allianz Arena on May 31.

After a summer of substantial change, both on and off the field, even the most optimistic of supporters wouldn't have envisioned Liverpool sitting 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League just days ahead of another pilgrimage to Wembley for the Carabao Cup final.

What's more is that this season's return to the Champions League has seen the Reds record victories over the champions of Germany, Spain and France on the way to winning eight of their 10 games in the competition.

Of course, it means there will be no fairytale ending to Slot's debut campaign as Liverpool head coach on May 31

It's no wonder there were such wild celebrations in the away dressing room at Anfield on Tuesday night.
