Paris SG and Liverpool have met on six previous occasions in European competition, with both sides registering three wins each. Their most recent meetings came in the UEFA Champions League last season, where both won 1-0 away from home in the round of 16, before the Parisians won on a penalty shootout at Anfield to progress (4-1).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
In last season\u2019s round of 16 tie between these two sides, Liverpool averaged just 38.6% possession and had 14 fewer shots on target than opponents Paris SG across the two legs (4 for, 18 against); their biggest negative shot on target differential in a UEFA Champions League knockout stage tie on record (since 2003-04).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Paris SG are unbeaten in their last six UEFA Champions League games against English sides (W5 D1), and have progressed from all four of their knockout stage ties against English opponents since the start of last season (v Liverpool, Aston Villa, Arsenal & Chelsea).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
In four of the last five UEFA Champions League editions, the holders have been eliminated at the quarter-final stage (Bayern Munich 2020-21, Chelsea 2021-22, Manchester City 2023-24 and Real Madrid 2024-25), with only Real Madrid in 2022-23 managing to progress to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Paris SG are unbeaten in their last seven knockout stage matches in the UEFA Champions League (W6 D1), and could equal the longest run by a French side in the competition (8 by Lyon \u2013 April 2004-March 2006).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Up to the start of this quarter-final round, Paris SG (90) and Liverpool (85) were the two teams with the most shots on target in the UEFA Champions League this season. However, Paris SG have scored 34 goals from 25.2 xG this term (+8.8), while Liverpool have netted just 24 times from 27.7 xG (-3.7).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been directly involved in 11 goals in 11 games in the UEFA Champions League this season (7 goals, 4 assists), already the joint-second most by a Paris SG player in a single edition (level with Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 from 2020-21), and trailing only Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 from last season (14 in 15 games).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Dominik Szoboszlai leads all Liverpool players in the UEFA Champions League this season for goals (5), assists (4), progressive carries (85), possession won (69) and high-intensity pressures (414).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Achraf Hakimi has five assists in nine UEFA Champions League games for Paris SG this season. The Moroccan is now the only defender in the competition\u2019s history to assist 5+ goals in multiple editions, and has achieved that in back-to-back campaigns (5 in 2024-25).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Florian Wirtz has created 27 chances from open play in nine UEFA Champions League games for Liverpool. The most by a player in their first 10 games for a club in the competition (on record since 2003-04) is 32 by Mesut \u00d6zil for Real Madrid, while Wirtz\u2019s total is already the most on record by a player for an English club through 10 appearances.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/div>\n
