PSG 2-1 LIVERPOOL | MILNER

41: Some people laughed at Dejan Lovren for his inability to deal with Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani. OK, he was out of position, but such a bitter attack will do the same for most defenders.

Liverpool in search of inspiration. Could this be Naby Keita's moment?

39: Jurgen Klopp angrily barks something on the bench. He is livid with his sides displayed in the first 40 minutes.

Remember that if they lose in Paris, Liverpool can still pass if they beat Napoli by more than two goals on the final day of the group stage.

PSG 2-0 LIVERPOOL | NEYMAR

36: Liverpool could not handle the pace, speed and accuracy of the PSG attack and ended up 2-0.

It's very different from the Reds this season, but they still play the ball in the back and get caught at the counter.

The ball is given to Neymar midfielder, who gives Kylian Mbappe the right. Alisson saves Edinson Cavani's first film before Neymar converts the rebound.

35: Referee Szymon Marciniak shows Joe Gomez a yellow card for a late challenge for Neymar, who falls predictably into agony. Let's get back to his feet …

32: save! Alisson with a vital interception. Neymar slides the ball to the left of Bernat, whose center is a few inches from the transformation of Kylian Mbappe.

Neymar then looks for a Cantona-esque token over Liverpool's cap but it slips into his gloves.

29: Bernat cynically lowers Salah. Van Dijk and Co seems to have a good chance of moving forward, but it's taken quickly and chances are in vain.

26: What a chaotic match. Neither team holds the ball for a significant period with bloody defeats taking place everywhere. Mohamed Salah and Firmino struggled to keep the ball in particular.

24: reserved! Naughty Marco Verratti, who is late and late for Joe Gomez. Easily a red on another night but the referee goes with the yellow. Disturbing really.

21: Slight improvement in Liverpool, which is now playing higher in the pack. James Milner chooses Mohamed Salah. The effort of the Egyptian is exerted on the post near Buffon.

18: PSG is very impressive by the speed with which it moves the ball. It's a totally different attitude from the one they faced the Reds in September – and I think the visitors were caught off guard.

15: Liverpool is shaken up here and seems vulnerable to a second. Wijnaldum foul Neymar and recovers a reservation, while the Brazilian gets up to bend the resulting free kick.

PSG 1-0 LIVERPOOL | BERNAT

13: Paris St-Germain had a fantastic start. Defender Juan Bernat rightly takes the advantage.

Marco Verratti is the architect responsible for the publication of Kylian Mbappe. His cross is not cleared and Bernat recovers the ball before marking beyond Alisson.

Add salt to wounds? Naples is ahead of Red Star Belgrade.

10: save! Angel di Maria's curling effort almost took Alisson by surprise, but the Brazilian rushed to his line and hit it over the crossbar.

The offside flag comes to Liverpool's rescue as Thiago Silva drifts behind Virgil van Dijk with only the goalkeeper to beat. Alisson saved him anyway. False alarm.

8: Kylian Mbappe is definitely not hurt. It looks super clean if you ask me. Neymar is probably the slowest in the pair – but he also looks good.

5: Woosh! Everything is happening in Paris tonight. PSG are looking to play at 100mph with Kylian Mbappe approaching the Verratti pass and dragging away.

3: PSG almost got off to a good start when a speculative punt almost found Neymar on the left channel. He could not control it and Alisson collected. Early warning for visitors.

PSG 0-0 LIVERPOOL

1: OK, we are ready for an absolute storm! James Milner seems particularly interested in Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, who might not be 100% …

Predictions?

7:58 p.m.: While the anthem of the Champions League is ringing around the Parc des Princes, I'd better ask you for your predictions. As you know, I went for a 3-1 win over PSG, but I suspect I'm one of the few to want that!

& # 39; Cheeky & # 39;

7:54 p.m.: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told BT Sport: "Playing in Paris is already big enough and you see the opponent, he is even bigger, we are a very good football team, so all is well.

"We have to show ourselves, be present, positive, legal and aggressive, and we are ready to block what they are going to do, we are ready to be brazen."

"Trent Alexander-Arnold played brilliantly in the first game, but it's about using Joe Gomez's fresh legs and he's slightly more defensive, which makes sense against these boys." We know the system but then we'll see on the pitch – not a lot of changes but always happy with the team. "

Atletico through

7:49 p.m.: Well, Diego Simone's Atletico Madrid has done the deal against Thierry Henry's Monaco. 2-0.

The result means that they have qualified for the knockout stages with Ajax, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Juventus, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Rome.

Wanted: Dominic Solanke

7:45 p.m.: Huddersfield is involved in a three-way battle to engage Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke, according to reports.

The 21-year-old from Chelsea in July 2017 did not play in a Premier League game under Jurgen Klopp this season.

And after struggling to settle in the first team, reports indicate that he could leave with a six-month loan agreement.

Sky Sports says Huddersfield, Crystal Palace and West Ham are looking to engage Solanke in their respective struggles against relegation.

What do you think? He must have first-team experience elsewhere.

Proof of stat?

7:40 p.m.: Since the start of last season, Liverpool has scored more goals in the Champions League than any other team (48). 73% of these were scored by Mo Salah (12), Roberto Firmino (12) or Sadio Mane (11).

Well, I guess Buffon must be right …

Best attack?

7:35 p.m.: Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are BETTER than the first three of Paris Saint-Germain.

This is the amazing claim of legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

"Throughout my career, I have always wanted to confront the best – and for the moment, you really can not think of teams in Europe that have a better three than Liverpool," Buffon said.

He added: "This season, the favorites of the Champions League are Barcelona, ​​Juventus and Manchester City.

"Liverpool also has a great chance."

idiots

19.30: Napoli will be "silly" if he does not qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League, said Carlo Ancelotti.

Last year's A-year finalists will earn their place in the last 16 games with a losing game if they beat Red Star Belgrade at home and PSG do not win their home match against Liverpool.

"This group seemed almost impossible at first but we are in a very good position," he said. "We made a very good cake and we just have to put the icing on the cake and if we do not succeed, we'll be real idiots."

To make a cake? Idiots appropriate? Ancelotti slowly turns into Jamie Oliver.

YouTube 'em

7:25 p.m.: Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp, says he has no fear that his players, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, are fit again after watching them. "500,000 times on YouTube".

Klopp's players managed to keep them quiet for most of their first game at Anfield and he is confident that they can do the same again.

"It's much more difficult to prepare for a game when my players do not know an opponent, which happens from time to time", Klopp said.

"We give them videos but this generation is probably watching 500,000 YouTube videos of Mbappe, Neymar and Edinson Cavani and they know their individual strengths more than me."

Royal Battle

7:20 p.m.: My esteemed colleague (he made me write that), Marc Williams and I created our own prediction game.

Now there is nothing left in the game other than pride and the right to boast … but for whatever reason, I want to win more than anything in the universe.

The rules are quite complicated, but it goes without saying that we choose the score and the first scorer of each team (defender = 3pts, midfielder 2pts, attacker 1 pt).

We also added the dreaded "No misfortune" which is the first goal scored among the knockouts of 20h. Finally, the asterisk is worth double points.

Yesterday, I beat very hard, so I let all the defensemen win points. Image below.

Twitter Tour

Tom: A draw in Paris would be a good result for Liverpool, that's for sure. But the group is so tight that every point counts.

Richard: With the inclusion of Henderson, you think Klopp would gladly accept a draw. I can not say that I do not agree with him.

ARP: Klopp went for grain rather than glamor. A trio of Milner-Hendo-Gini will provide the transplant and effort, but lack of flair. Is it enough to see PSG tonight?

News from the team

7:10 p.m.: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made two changes to the crucial Champions League match against PSG in the French capital.

Joe Gomez replaced Trent Alexander-Arnold at the right back and James Milner joined the midfielder alongside his captain Jordan Henderson at the expense of Xherdan Shaqiri.

As expected, PSG appointed Neymar and Kylian Mbappe to their side after overcoming injuries sustained in international service.

Somewhere else…

7:05 p.m.: Tottenham is also in action tonight – and they are really in a situation where they absolutely have to win.

The Spurs must beat Inter Milan at Wembley to retain a qualifying chance.

If they do, the Londoners will have to improve Inter Milan's results against PSV Eindhoven when they will face Barcelona at Nou Camp in their last group match.

Other fixtures include; Borussia Dortmund vs Club Brugge, Porto vs Schalke, Napoli vs Red Star Belgrade, PSV vs Barcelona.

favorites

19h00: I just saw a tweet interesting enough about our potential winners of the Champions League.

"In all the talk of Barca, City and Juve, I think that Atletico Madrid is lost as a real opponent. The final is held in their stadium, the Wanda Metropolitano, they have the strength of the depth and one of the most tactically intelligent minds. If I were a betting man, my money would be on them. "

It's a good point, but Diego Simeone's team has 12 points with PaddyPower – I'm not sure it's generous enough for me.

Manchester City are favorites with a score of 7/2, Barcelona being behind with a score of 5/1. Manchester United is surely worth 40/1? No? Just me…

Blues of the day

6:55 p.m.: Liverpool has been outstanding in the Premier League this season, but the story has been different in Europe.

The defeats in Naples and the Belgrade Red Star were a shock and a similar story in Paris could leave the finalists of last season in danger of losing their place in the group stage.

Paris St-Germain – beaten 3-2 at Anfield in September – needs a win to keep its hopes of qualification and the stars Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are in shape after the injury of the weekend in Toulouse.

Dean: Jordan Henderson? After his eighth draw in a row this weekend? The fair play Jurgen Klopp for making the Napoli match at Anfield a must!

AK: strong team. I would like VVD to have the armband, seems to be a natural leader.

Vow: no creativity in this midfielder, Trent absent when he could have unveiled the left of the PSG in Salah. Our only creators are literally Robertson, a good crossover player, and Firmino.

The starting eleven …

18h45: And here are the queues. Joe Gomez and James Milner for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Xherdan Shaqiri. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are both starting.

PSG XI: Buffon, Kehrer, Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat, Marquinhos, Verratti, Di Maria, Neymar, Cavani, Mbappe.

Liverpool XI: Alison, Gomez, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Mignolet, Fabinho, Keita, Sturridge, Shaqiri, Matip, Alexander-Arnold.

Twitter Tour

Neil: If you had to pick one, beat PSG tonight but lose the derby or lose tonight but beat Everton on the weekend?

Kenny: The toughest XI to predict this season so far. Assuming that Mane is fine, I think the big decisions will be Gomez at RB with Lovren and Gini as the third midfielder instead of Shaqiri. Hard to call the other two CMs, I would probably go with Hendo-Keita.

Jonathan: We surely need a return from the plenary press tonight. Do not think we can afford to sit in this one.

Oh, I'm not going to get into this debate, Neil. Talk to each other

permutations

6:35 p.m.: OK, no question of messing around, like the father of my girlfriend who reads a menu in all the restaurants we visit. Sorry, I do not know where it came from …

Anyway, Liverpool will be qualified if he beats PSG in Paris. In the event of a tie, the Merseyside team will have to match or improve the result obtained by PSG in the last match to secure a place in the last 16 games.

If they lose in Paris, Liverpool can still pass if they beat Napoli by more than two goals on the final day of the group stage.

Basically, win and we will not have to study all these permutations.

Evening…

18.30: Hello everyone and welcome to our LIVE Cover of the Champions League.

PSG vs LIVERPOOL

Liverpool striker Sadio Mane and defender Joe Gomez traveled to France to face PSG in the Champions League.

Mane had been sick but had trained with the team at Melwood on Tuesday morning, as was Gomez who got rid of a minor problem at the ankle that held him. away from this weekend's win over Watford.

Adam Lallana, Dominic Solanke and Nathaniel Clyne are still absent, but manager Jurgen Klopp has called Rafael Camacho from under-23.
