PSG travel to Anfield for the second leg of their Round of 16 tie, needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit after suffering a narrow defeat in Paris.

Despite dominating the first leg, the French champions were undone by a late strike from substitute Harvey Elliott, giving Liverpool the advantage heading into the return fixture.

"The most important game is the one which comes next and I hope it (the most important game) will be the last one of the season," he said.

"Even though we're trailing from the first leg we will be playing our own game from the outset. Regardless of the result (in Paris) we wouldn't do anything different.

"At the moment we are out so our only option is to go out and win and that is what is driving us.

"I don't think Arne Slot has much doubts about our starting XI, I've got my ideas about his starting XI as well.

"I'm not going to give away who we are going to play or how we are going to play but over the course of two games we will see two of the best teams in Europe, two contenders for the final and whoever goes through will go through to the final."

He added: "We know what Liverpool means with a historic stadium and a wonderful history. It's a huge source of motivation for the players and we want to show we are capable of putting in a performance.

"It is difficult to manage one's emotions and feelings, these are not easy games to prepare for and it is not easy to be at 100 per cent.

"But you don't want to be at 105 or 110 per cent because you could get carried away so you have to manage your emotions in the best possible way."
