The reality is that Liverpool are safe and certainly escaped. Who knows, there are people who are willing to bet on Liverpool's victory without regard to some of the things that should be done such as not wanting to see the arrangement of the line up that will be played by Arne Slot.
For us, fighting PSV is only a matter of prestige.

Liverpool happens to be the best team in the champions league now and I don’t think they can just play this game without putting any intensity into it. Just like the games they’ve played in the past and became victorious, they will still have another chance by them to win the match against PSV. This will not be a matter of qualification to them but for the records, they’ve won the game against the team.

Liverpool have already qualified for the last 16. Their only motivation in this game is probably to maintain their position at the top of the standings because Barcelona can still overtake them. On the other hand, PSV are still fighting to qualify, the result in this match will be very crucial, they must rely on this game to secure their position.
The statistics of both also place Liverpool as the favorite team, Liverpool managed to win in their last 5 matches against PSV in all competitions, PSV also recorded an interesting record, they are unbeaten in the Home match this season in all competitions.

If we assume that Liverpool will not be defeated in Holland, I think Barcelona's chances of overtaking them are a bit low. Of course, if Barcelona wins in terms of points and Liverpool loses, the leadership will change hands, but I think they will beat PSV in Holland. Although the Dutch representative is a strong team, I don't think they will play an effective game against Liverpool. Because Liverpool is one of the best teams in the world this year. They will probably win the Champions League.
