Liverpool elimination by PSG reminds me of their journey in the Europa League last season, M Salah and his colleagues lost surprisingly when they were favorites in the competition. We can say that Liverpool were unlucky, and PSG have broken the assumptions of people who doubted their strength. Luis Enrique deserves appreciation, he is a key figure behind PSG success in reaching the quarter finals. Nuno Mendes who was tasked with guarding every movement of M Salah, managed to do his job perfectly, it was one of several factors that made Liverpool very overwhelmed in defeating PSG.
You are right, I also remember last season Liverpool when they were in the Europa League, many people really favored Liverpool at that time in the Europa League. because Liverpool seemed to be the most solid team from the start at that time. But Liverpool experienced an unexpected defeat. If I remember correctly, at that time Liverpool actually lost with a score that was quite surprising to Atalanta. At that time, Atalanta was not the favorite. But they were able to eliminate Liverpool from the European League. And now in the Champions League, PSG, who was doubted from the start, can actually beat Liverpool. Is it possible that PSG will become champions this season? Then the answer is maybe. because last season Atalanta also managed to win the European League title after they also beat Liverpool at that time. And it would be very unique if PSG also managed to win the title in the UCL after also succeeding in becoming the team that eliminated Liverpool from the UCL. let's just see.
Yes, I also still remember very well how Liverpool's journey in the European league last season, where they were highly favored and even performed impressively but who would have thought they ended sadistically at the hands of Atalanta and Atalanta at that time not only managed to beat the favorite team Liverpool, Atalanta also managed to beat the second favorite team after Liverpool, namely Leverkusen, which we know Leverkusen last season was an undefeated team but they lost to Atalanta in the final. And this season Liverpool also has a story, namely they performed very impressively at the start of the Champions League but who would have thought that PSG, who were initially not considered even to qualify for the play-off round, had a very hard time but finally managed to beat the mighty Liverpool at Anfield.
However, even so, I am not sure PSG can qualify for the next round if the opponent they face is Real Madrid. Soon we will watch the Madrid derby match in the second leg, if Real Madrid is able to win or draw in this match then in the quarter-finals they will face PSG. As we know, Real Madrid when they have reached the knockout stage are very difficult to beat, it takes a miracle to beat them. Let's see, can PSG this season be like Atalanta last season or can only reach the quarter finals? let's see...
