Liverpool Ready For Psg Champions League Test, Says Slot

Arne Slot is confident Liverpool have nothing to fear as they prepare for their Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain in the last-16 first leg on Wednesday. Despite past defeats at the Parc des Princes in 1997 and 2018, Liverpool head into the tie as one of Europe's most in-form teams, having lost just four times in all competitions this season.

Slot's side finished top of the Champions League table with seven wins from eight games, including a memorable 2-0 victory over holders Real Madrid. Domestically, they sit 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League, with Mohamed Salah in superb form. Liverpool also look to win their first trophy under Slot when they face Newcastle in the League Cup final on March 16.

While PSG, Ligue 1's dominant force, are also on an impressive unbeaten run in domestic competition, Slot remains confident in Liverpool's ability to perform on the European stage. "We don't fear anybody," Slot stated, though he acknowledged PSG's quality. "We definitely respect them, but we're not afraid."

PSG coach Luis Enrique has highlighted the clash as a monumental occasion, one worthy of a Champions League final. With the second leg set for Anfield on March 11, Slot is determined to set the tone with an attacking approach at the Parc des Princes.
