Liverpool vs Paris Saint-Germain

Competition – Champions League

Stadium: Anfield

Date: 14th April 2026

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Liverpool face an enormous task on Tuesday night as they welcome Paris Saint-Germain to Anfield for the second leg of this Champions League quarter-final. PSG arrive carrying a 2-0 advantage from the first leg, meaning the Reds must score at least twice without reply — or three while conceding to force extra time. The scale of what is required makes this one of the most demanding European nights Anfield has hosted in years.

Liverpool’s recent form has been patchy, though they did produce a timely response at the weekend. Their most recent outing was a 2-0 home win over Fulham in the Premier League, a clean sheet that will have done some good for confidence ahead of this tie. Prior to that came the 2-0 defeat in Paris in the first leg — the result that now defines everything about Tuesday’s game. Before that, a heavy 4-0 loss at Manchester City in the FA Cup, and earlier in this run, a 2-1 defeat away at Brighton in the league. The bright spot was a 4-0 home win over Galatasaray in the previous round of this competition. It is a mixed picture overall, but the Anfield crowd has a habit of lifting this side when the stakes are highest.

PSG, by contrast, arrive in imperious form. Their most recent outing was the first leg here — that 2-0 win at the Parc des Princes. Prior to that, a 3-1 home win over Toulouse in Ligue 1. Before that, a 4-0 win away at Nice, and earlier in this run, a 3-0 victory away at Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16 second leg, bookending a 5-2 home win over Chelsea in the first leg. Five wins from five across all competitions is the form of a side that is peaking at exactly the right time. They have conceded just once in their last four games and look formidable in every area of the pitch.

The tie is straightforward in terms of what is required, but executing it against this opposition is anything but. Liverpool need to come forward and score twice before PSG find the net, or go through the gears even further if the visitors do strike. PSG, meanwhile, have every incentive to be patient and wait — a single goal essentially kills the tie as a contest. The Anfield atmosphere will be electric and will generate pressure from the first whistle, but PSG have the defensive solidity and the attacking threat to hurt Liverpool on the counter if the hosts are not disciplined in their approach.

The head-to-head record favours PSG, who have won three of the last five meetings, with no draws and two wins for Liverpool. Most recently, PSG won 2-0 at home in the first leg of this tie. In the previous encounter, PSG won 1-0 away at Anfield in March 2025.

Liverpool will give everything in front of their own supporters, and Anfield on a European night remains one of the most pressurised environments in the game. But PSG are in outstanding form, carry a two-goal cushion, and have already demonstrated they can handle the occasion. Overturning this deficit looks beyond the Reds — expect a competitive night, but PSG will be confident they can advance based on their lead.
