"Beautiful Memories" — PSG Coach Luis Enrique Excited for Champions League Quarter-Final Rematch Against Liverpool
The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals are set for a blockbuster showdown as defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) prepare to face Liverpool once again.
PSG head coach Luis Enrique has expressed his excitement for the tie, recalling the "beautiful memories" of last season’s encounter where the French giants knocked out the Reds on penalties.
Last year, PSG secured their first-ever Champions League title after a tense last-16 battle with Liverpool.
Despite Arne Slot’s side being the favorites at the time, PSG won a 4-1 shootout at Anfield to progress.
Reflecting on that clash, Enrique praised Liverpool boss Arne Slot for his sportsmanship during PSG’s rise to the top.
“When Liverpool were the best team in Europe, I remember Arne Slot speaking very well about PSG when nobody else was,” Enrique noted. “It was a beautiful memory of a classic tie.”
While Liverpool entered last year's match as the team to beat, the narrative has shifted for 2026.
The Reds currently sit fifth in the Premier League, leading many to label PSG as the clear favorites.
However, Enrique remains cautious, stating his focus is on maintaining control and "weighing things up" as his team balances European ambitions with their domestic campaign in Ligue 1.
