‘An exceptional team’ – Andy Robertson feels PSG is the best team Liverpool have faced this season | OneFootball

Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson (30) is adamant the Reds are yet to face a team as good as PSG this season, such was the impression left by Luis Enrique’s Les Parisiens on the Premier League runaway leaders on Wednesday in the Champions League RO16 first leg. “They showed how good they can be, an exceptional team – probably the best we have played this season”, the Scottish international tells the Liverpool Echo. On their end, PSG players were left surprised by Liverpool’s level as they felt Arsenal or Bayern Munich, their opponents in the Champions League phase, were superior to Arne Slot’s Reds.

Liverpool were indebted to an all-timer goalkeeping performance from Alisson Becker (32) to escape Parc des Princes unscathed. Even better for them, the Reds will bring a one-goal lead at Anfield courtesy of Harvey Elliott’s 87th-minute dagger. “We will have to play better as we can’t rely on Alisson playing the game of his life every game.”

As the team that topped the Champions League standings and are currently running away with the Premier League title with 16 points clear of Arsenal, Liverpool are not used to being second-best in most areas this season. “Of course. It’s a game we’re not overly-used to in terms of how big the difference in possession was, how many shots they had and how many shots we had“, Robertson adds.
