SOCCER: Liverpool looking to bounce back in Champions League away to PSG

Liverpool travel to the Parc des Princes for Wednesday's (April 8) Champions League quarter-final away to Paris Saint-Germain and will be looking to bounce back from Saturday's 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City.

The English champions sit fifth in the Premier League and have suffered 15 defeats across all competitions this season - their most in a single campaign since losing 18 matches in 2014-15.

PSG, meanwhile, lead Ligue 1 and are well-placed to defend their Champions League crown.

The tie is a repeat of last season's round-of-16 meeting, when PSG knocked Arne Slot's side out on penalties.

This time, it will also see Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike come up against his former club.

The 23-year-old France international has enjoyed an impressive first season in England, scoring 17 goals and providing six assists in 43 appearances.

Ekitike spent a brief spell at PSG between 2023 and 2024 but found minutes hard to come by in a squad featuring Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
