PSG vs Liverpool – Combined XI ahead of Champions League clash PSG and Liverpool go head-to-head in the Champions League quarter-finals this evening. The Parc des Princes is the stage for an epic European tie, as the champions of France and England meet in the last eight. Paris Saint-Germain start as favourites, but an out-of-form Liverpool will be eager to bounce back from recent woes.
Ahead of the clash, we’ve picked our PSG and Liverpool Combined XI from players available for selection. ’ PSG vs Liverpool – Combined XI ahead of Champions League clash Goalkeeper: Giorgi Mamardashvili – Liverpool It’s a big night, and potentially run-in, for Giorgi Mamardashvili with Alisson out injured. The Georgian is a terrific shot-stopper and will hope to produce a performance that demonstrates he can be Liverpool’s long-term number one.
PSG’s goalkeeping situation has been one area of weakness this season, with neither Matvey Safonov or Lucas Chevalier cemented as first choice. Right-back: Achraf Hakimi – PSG From an area of weakness to a great strength, the full-backs of PSG are arguably the world’s best in their positions. Achraf Hakimi has not hit last season’s heights due to injury and AFCON commitments, but the Moroccan is a flying machine.
Centre-back: Willian Pacho – PSG Part of a production line of exciting Ecuadorian talent, Pacho has evolved into an elite defender in Paris. The 24-year-old ranks in the top 1% of defenders across Europe’s top leagues for percentage of defensive duels won. Centre-back: Virgil van Dijk – Liverpool The critics are out in force for Virgil van Dijk after a poor performance at Manchester City continued a tough season.
