PSG-Liverpool: Dominant first half display enough for PSG

Despite a strong second half performance from Klopp's men, one shot on target all evening was a telling statistic on a poor night for last season's finalists.

PSG - Liverpool: as it happened

PSG - Liverpool: preview

The Premier League giants make the trip to the Parc des Princes tonight for what is a crucial clash in Group C of the Champions League. Napoli (six points) and Liverpool (six) are the top two, but only narrowly ahead of PSG (five) and Red Star Belgrade (four) with two games remaining.

Klopp's side have endured struggles away in Europe recently – losing four straight matches on the road – and while Tuchel praised his fellow German, he knows his team can make the most of home advantage.

"I'm not surprised by their performance overall. Jürgen does an unbelievable job, he is an unbelievable trainer and you can see his input and his achievement in three and a half years," Tuchel told a news conference.

"At the same time we have the feeling that in away games we can get it and it's proven. I'm pretty sure it will be a different Liverpool side than in Belgrade [when the Reds lost 2-0 earlier this month]," he said.
