Arne Slot Reveals One Word Describing How Liverpool Are Approaching PSG Clash | OneFootball

Liverpool are coming off a 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Wednesday night at Anfield. The Reds still have one more Premier League match before they can entirely focus on the first leg against Paris Saint-Germain next week at the Parc des Princes.

Next weekend, Liverpool will host Southampton, who are at the bottom of the table, so it will be interesting to see if manager Arne Slot opts to go with a rotated squad in preparation for PSG, especially since they have a sizeable gap over Arsenal.

As a result, the Premier League side will have the weekend off to prepare for the Parisians. Meanwhile, PSG are facing LOSC Lille at the Parc des Princes on Saturday night, and manager Luis Enrique could opt for an alternate squad due to their lead in Ligue 1.

After the win over Newcastle, Slot spoke to the media and noted that there’s a level of “respect” they have for the French giants, but there’s no fearing them as the English side look to get a result in Paris.

“I don’t think we fear teams. I don’t think the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Real Madrid, these kind of clubs don’t fear opponents,” Slot said. “But we definitely respect them and there’s a reason for that, and that’s what you just said – that they won so many games in a row and they have so many quality players.

“I think it’s going to be a very interesting game for everybody who loves football. I would be surprised if people who are neutral watch a different game than that one because I think everyone – including Paris Saint-Germain and us – are looking forward to the game.”
