However, the slot has promised to be more proactive and not to sit on its slender advantage.
“Is there a difference (leading 1-0)? Not. We try to play every game to try to win,” he said.
“It’s also what we tried to do last week, it wasn’t our intention to be so low (deep) all the time.
“(Tuesday) We want to play another game, the intention is always the same – we will not go to the draw.
“In Manchester City, it was not a situation, it was not a situation in PSG. But we take confidence from our domestic game against the city where we had a ball much more and there were much more equal play.”
When asked whether they would ask for their best performance under him so far, the slot added, “Yes. I think that’s the most complete team we have faced so far.
“We faced Arsenal and City and not big margins, but the intensity played in combination with quality – and they are one of the richest clubs – and a great manager is not easy to play against.”

PSG Main Coach Luis Enrique believes that a team that prevails in their last-16 cow against Liverpool at Anfield, the Champions League Finalists will be.
“The most important game is the one that is next and I hope that (the most important game) will be the last one from the season,” he said.
“Although we move from the first leg, we will play our own game from the beginning. Regardless of the results (in Paris), we would not do anything else.
“We’re out right now, so our only option is to go out and win, and that’s what the slot doesn’t have much doubt about our beginning XI, I have my ideas about his beginning.
“I will not give whom we will play or how we will play, but during the two games we will see two best teams in Europe, two candidates for final and who will go through the finals.”
Enrique is convinced that his team can be carried with pressure on the “historical stadium”.
“I’m pretty convinced that absolutely every of my players will want to play,” he added.
“We know what Liverpool means with historical stadium and wonderful history. It is a huge source of motivation for players and we want to show that we are able to put performance.

“But you don’t want to be at 105 or 110 percent because you can take yourself, so you need to manage your emotions in the best possible way.”
Why is PSG’s Queen League Champions with Liverpool away from the end
Ski Sports’ Rich Morgan:
Liverpool can seem to have one leg in the fourth champions of the champions after last week’s victory in Paris Saint-Germain, but Slot’s error would give a huge mistake if it should be underestimated by the task that is ligue 1 champions.
History is certainly against the Paris when traveling to Merseiside. Of the 27 previous teams to lose their first leg at home in knockout champion circles, only three progressed.
In the meantime, in Seven times, Liverpool won the first foot from home, they went to win the return hardener three times, drawing twice and lose twice.
PSG should be warned, even though it is even when red lost the other leg at Anfield, they still managed to go through both times, in the last 16 against Barcelona 2006/07 and Inter Milan in 2021/07.
In fact, only once Liverpool has ever won the first leg knockout the champions and eliminated, as Geerard Hullier’s side beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 at Anfield in the last eight in 2001. years, just to go after loss 4-2.
However, although chances can appear largely against the PSG that will bring it to the quarterfinals – skibet gives them 7/4 chances of winning Anfield – there are many reasons to hope foreign Luis Enrique.
