The first leg was a bizarre affair as Liverpool managed a 1-0 win away from despite their goal being the only shot on target for the reds. 

Super sub Harvey Elliott came on to give the Premier league leaders a late goal which he scored just 47 seconds of being on the pitch. This shot on target was one of two shots Liverpool had in the entire 90 minutes away at the Parc des Princes.

Their opponents on the other hand had dominated the stats and the game having 27 shots, and a goal narrowly ruled out by VAR. Paris Saint Germain had 65% possession at home against Liverpool with the only Stat in Liverpool's favour going to their Goalkeeper Allison Becker who kept the reds in the game with 9 saves.

Even though coming into the game one goal down and without home advantage Luis Enrique is confident the French giants can go through to the quarter finals. 

However, in the 39 European games where Liverpool have won their first away fixture they have never been beaten in the second leg at home. This means that PSG will have to break history in order to go through. 

Or will it be 40 unbeaten for Liverpool?

Liverpool will face a formidable front three from Paris however, as their youngest forward Bradley Barcola, who is 22 years of age has so far scored 13 goals and 7 assists in his first season as a regular starter for the French Capitals. 

January signing Khchiva Kvaratskhelia from Napoli to PSG has boosted the French capitals attack massively and was the player in blue in the previous fixture to score but was ruled out due to the smallest of margins. 

Another shining star is one of France's very own, Ousmane Dembele who's goal scoring record this season speaks for itself with an impressive 20 goals in 23 matches in Ligue 1. Also scoring 6 in 9 in the champions league he is PSG's top scorer in both competitions. 

Dembele's opposing player however is none other than Mohamed Salah. with only 3 goals in 8 appearances in the champions league the 'Egyptian King'  has not been on his usual high standards.

However, back in the premier league Liverpool have Salah to thank as his 27 goals and 17 assists have propelled the scousers to being 15 points clear of Arsenal in second. 

Salah scored twice on Saturday at home to Southampton FC who currently sit bottom of the Premier league in which could be a record low season in terms of points for the saints. 

But, Paris Saint Germain will be a very tougher opponent than an already relegated team, as they are not looking to go through to the quarter finals but have had their eyes set on the trophy for a number of years now. 

The Ligue 1 leaders, who currently are 16 points clear at the top, have come as close as the final in previous champions league campaigns losing to the likes of Bayern Munich. 

Most Football fans thought their prolific front three of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Jr would be the reason they would finally lift the champions league and let Paris be the Champions of Europe.

However in both seasons that this trio was PSG's main attack they did not manage to make it past the round of 16. The exact stage they are currently on track to exit Europe's biggest football competition in club football. 

Can the youngsters of Dembele,Kvaratskhelia and Barcola do what they could not?
