Matt McNulty/Getty Images Former Liverpool star Jason McAteer has conceded that another Paris Saint Germain goal would have made a comeback daunting, but he insisted that a two-goal deficit remains doable ahead of the second leg at Anfield. The Reds failed to register a single shot on target, while the Parisians unleashed six efforts on goal, leaving Liverpool to head back home with a 2-0 deficit to claw back if they are to fulfil Phil Thompson’s prediction of Champions League glory this season.

However, the former Ireland midfielder maintained that a two-goal deficit heading into the second leg at Anfield, particularly with the backing of the home crowd, remains within reach. “So listen, like I said, 2-0 back at Anfield, the crowd under the lights, it’s still very doable.

“We’ll have to wait and see.” The Reds host Fulham at home this Saturday before welcoming Luis Enrique’s side to Anfield next Tuesday, where the Kop, renowned for swinging matches in Liverpool’s favour as noted by a Leeds United defender, will be primed to roar them on. In the round of 16, Slot’s men produced a commanding 4-0 home win over Galatasaray in the second leg after trailing from the first.
