Liverpool will welcome Paris Saint-Germain to Anfield on Tuesday evening for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 showdown, holding a narrow 1-0 advantage from their first-leg victory in Paris. Arne Slot’s men rode their luck in the French capital, where a masterful Alisson Becker performance and a late Harvey Elliott strike saw them snatch a crucial away win despite being outshot 27-2. The Reds will now look to maintain their perfect record of progressing from their last 14 Champions League ties when winning the opening leg, a run that stretches back to 2002. However, despite that historic advantage, their inconsistent performances—such as a shaky first-half display against Southampton in the Premier League—could leave the door open for PSG to mount a comeback.

Luis Enrique’s side endured a frustrating first leg but responded emphatically with a 4-1 thrashing of Rennes over the weekend, extending their remarkable 13-match winning streak away from home in all competitions. PSG have also won their last three Champions League away fixtures, albeit against less formidable opposition, and will need a vastly improved attacking display to break through a Liverpool defense that held firm in Paris. Encouragingly, Enrique has a fully fit squad at his disposal, allowing him to rest key players at the weekend, with the likes of Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, and Marquinhos expected to return to the starting lineup.

Liverpool, meanwhile, remain without Cody Gakpo, Tyler Morton, Joe Gomez, and Conor Bradley, while Dominik Szoboszlai’s fitness is a concern after a flat first-half showing against Southampton. That could open the door for Elliott to start in the number 10 role after his match-winning contribution in Paris.

With the visitors’ superior squad depth and fresh legs, they appear well-equipped to capitalize on any sluggishness from Liverpool, especially if the hosts start slowly as they did at the weekend. While Anfield’s legendary atmosphere could provide a boost it could prove crucial in this clash.

利物浦将于周二晚上在安菲尔德迎接巴黎圣日耳曼，进行欧冠16强第二回合的对决，他们在首回合战胜巴黎后以1-0的微弱优势领先。阿恩·斯洛特的队员们在法国首都靠运气，阿利森·贝克尔精湛的表现和哈维·艾略特最后时刻的进球帮助他们在27比2落后的情况下取得了一场关键的客场胜利。红军现在希望能保持他们自2002年以来的14场欧冠首回合胜利的完美记录。然而，尽管拥有历史上的优势，但他们不稳定的表现——比如在英超联赛中对阵南安普顿的上半场表现不稳——可能会为巴黎圣日耳曼的卷土重来敞开大门。

路易斯·恩里克的球队经历了令人沮丧的首回合，但在周末以4-1大胜雷恩，延续了他们在所有赛事中客场13连胜的辉煌战绩。巴黎圣日耳曼也赢得了最近三场欧冠客场比赛，尽管对手不那么强大，他们需要大大提高进攻表现来突破利物浦在巴黎坚不可摧的防线。令人鼓舞的是，恩里克有一个完全健康的阵容供他支配，这使得他可以在周末让关键球员休息，像奥斯曼·登巴姆萨伊尔、阿赫拉夫·哈基米和马奎诺斯这样的球员有望回到首发阵容。

与此同时，利物浦仍然没有科迪·加科波、泰勒·莫顿、乔·戈麦斯和康纳·布拉德利，而在对阵南安普顿的上半场比赛中表现平平的多米尼克·绍博什莱的健康状况令人担忧。这可能会为艾略特打开大门，在他在巴黎的胜利贡献之后，他可以在10号的位置上首发。

客队拥有超强的阵容深度和新鲜的球员，他们似乎已经准备好利用利物浦的任何迟缓，特别是如果主队像周末那样开局缓慢的话。虽然安菲尔德的传奇氛围可能会给球队带来鼓舞，但这在这场比赛中可能是至关重要的。
