- Robbie Fowler and Mark Wright were on the scoresheet in Liverpool’s most recent clash with Paris Saint-Germain (2-0), the only time the French Champions have visited Anfield.
- Paris SG are taking part in their 11th Champions League campaign, including their seventh in a row. Only Lyon (15) have more appearances in the competition among French clubs.

- Last season, Liverpool’s James Milner (8) equalled the record set by current PSG star Neymar (8 in 2016/17) for the most assists by a player in a single Champions League campaign since 2003/04.
- PSG striker Edinson Cavani has scored eight goals in 14 appearances in the Champions League against teams from England, including exactly one goal in his last two such games (both v Arsenal).

- Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has reached the knockout stages in four of his previous five Champions League campaigns as manager, losing two finals in 2013 with Borussia Dortmund and 2018 with Liverpool.
