Many have criticized Liverpool performance in the first leg, and I agree that they were lucky to win. Alisson Becker was impressive, he denied many PSG chances, in my opinion it was his best performance of the season. I am quite sure that luck will be on PSG side in the second leg if Arne Slot does not change his squad game strategy, considering that Luis Enrique is very experienced in reading his opponent's weaknesses. Given the ambition of both teams, it is likely that both will be able to score goals.
The second leg could be much fiercer than what we have seen in the first leg for the match between the two teams, but I don't think that Arne Slot will stay silent with a more precise strategy after seeing his team attacked relentlessly in the first leg by PSG. I am quite sure that Liverpool will change their way of playing when competing in the second leg which takes place at their home ground and besides that PSG must also play much better when coming to Liverpool's headquarters because the level of enthusiasm of the players playing at home will definitely be much greater.
In the first leg, Liverpool were saved thanks to the performance of goalkeeper Alisson who performed perfectly under the Liverpool goal. PSG on target 9, all raw with Alisson. Liverpool 2 shots on goal, 1 on target directly became a goal. Alisson really became a hero in the first leg, and I think Arne Slot will field the same squad in the second leg match later, there are indeed some things that need to be fixed but overall I think Arne Slot will not change his playing style.

Because Arne Slot considers PSG like Manchester City, Arne Slot when playing against Man City also plays pragmatically. In a press conference he said to play against PSG or Man City whichever is the same he tends to be pragmatic. However, PSG is indeed better than Man City this year. So I think Liverpool will have the same tactics in the second leg, Slot only focuses on how to make Salah more free in the front line so he can get the chance to score goals because PSG's weak point is actually in goalkeeper Donna so I think Arne Slot will take advantage of that in the second leg.
