2025-26 UCL Quarter-Finals: Second Leg – Liverpool vs PSG

Liverpool host PSG in the second leg of their Quarter-Final tie in the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League.

Trailing 2-0 on aggregate after the first leg, Liverpool simply must win by a three-goal margin or higher to qualify for the semi-finals.

PSG simply need to avoid defeat or lose by an one-goal margin to continue their title defence into the semi-finals stage.

 

Team News

Liverpool have no fresh injury concerns to report following their 2-0 Premier League victory against Fulham.

Alisson (muscle), Wataru Endo (ankle), Conor Bradley (knee) and Giovanni Leoni (ACL) remain absent.

PSG could welcome midfielder, Bradley Barcola back into contention after he missed the first leg with an ankle sprain.

Fabian Ruiz is unlikely to be involved amidst dispute with PSG medical staff, with the midfielder not feeling he is ready for a senior return from a knee injury whereas the medical staff and coaching team consider him fit for selection

Quentin Ndjantou (hamstring) remain absent.

 

When is Kick-Off?

Liverpool host PSG at Anfield on Tuesday 14 April at 8pm BST, live on Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Prediction

Having finally produced a dominant display to comfortably beat Fulham with clinical goals, Liverpool now need to replicate that performance to at least force extra time but PSG are a totally different beast to the Cottagers, so they will have to ideally score first to give themselves any hope of a comeback.

PSG though have had the weekend off to prepare for this second leg after replicating their dirty trick of moving domestic league games between legs like they did last season, which is unfair and disrespectful of the tie in terms of fair play as they will be right up for this with their fresher legs.

They however aren’t reigning champions for no reason and have the 2-0 aggregate lead so I expect them to cause serious issues and be clinical like in the first leg, but hopefully Liverpool can salvage some pride to take into the remainder of their season.

Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 PSG

Result: Liverpool 0-2 PSG (PSG win 4-0 on aggregate)
