Preview Liverpool-Psg: five things to know, predicted line-ups, L’Equipe brilliant front-page
The Azzurri face Red Star Belgrade at the Marakana tonight (read the preview here).
Liverpool-Psg is definitely one of the most exciting games of this evening and expectations are high for both teams. Liverpool want to go the extra mile after last season’s final against Real Madrid while Psg want to impose themselves in Europe after their domestic dominion over the last few years.
French paper L’Equipe has come out with a brilliant front-page this morning showing the likes of Cavani, Mbappé, Thomas Tuchel and Neymar crossing Abbey Road like they were the Beatles. Psg, in fact, would need a historic performance tonight to beat last year’s Champions League finalists.
