UEFA Champions League All competitions All competitions All competitions None of the seven meetings between Liverpool (3 wins) and Paris SG (4) in all competitions have been drawn, with two of the Reds’ three wins coming at home. Paris SG won 1-0 at Anfield in the UEFA Champions League last 16 last season. The only sides to win consecutive away games against Liverpool in European competition are Barcelona and Atalanta, with neither of those doing so in back-to-back campaigns. This will be the fifth time that Liverpool have hosted the reigning champions from the previous season’s UEFA Champions League. They lost each of the first three (twice to Real Madrid and once to Barcelona), but won the most recent and only one they have played under Arne Slot (2-0 v Real Madrid in November 2024). Before this season’s quarter-finals, there have been 17 occasions of a team being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League knockout stages despite having a 2+ goal lead from the first leg – Paris SG have been on the receiving end of this more than any other side (3 times). Liverpool have lost four games in the UEFA Champions League this season, their joint-most in a single campaign (also 2006-07 and 2018-19). The last time they lost four was 2018-19 – they went on to win the trophy that season, and it’s also the only time they’ve overturned a 2+ goal deficit from the first leg to progress (vs Barcelona in the semi-final). Paris SG lead all teams in the UEFA Champions League this season for goals scored (36), total shots (259), shots on target (96) and touches in the opposition box (486). Liverpool have scored 24 goals from an expected goals total of 27. 8 in the UEFA Champions League this season, the biggest underperformance of any of the remaining sides (3. 8). Meanwhile, only Atlético Madrid (9. 9) and Barcelona (8. 9) have overperformed their x G more than Paris SG this term (8. 4 – 36 goals from 27. 6 x G). Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz has created more chances from open play than any other player in the UEFA Champions League this season (28). Teammate Dominik Szoboszlai has created more chances from set play than anyone else (14), while no player has created more big chances than Mohamed Salah (8). Paris SG’s Vitinha has completed more passes under high-intensity pressure than any other player in the UEFA Champions League this season (609), while he also has a better pass completion rate under high-intensity pressure than anyone else (93% - min. 400 attempted). Achraf Hakimi could move into Paris SG’s top five appearance makers in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (currently on 54), overtaking Ángel Di María and Edinson Cavani (54 each). Only Michael Olise (6) has provided more assists than Hakimi (5) in the competition this season. Copyright © 2026 BBC. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.
