UCL: Jota makes funny Salah claim before showdown with PSG at Anfield

Diogo Jota has praised Mohamed Salah’s incredible form for Liverpool this season ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.


Arne Slot acknowledged their fortunate win in Paris, admitting his Reds were fortunate. Liverpool had limited possession and few shots on goal, relying on a late winner and a stellar performance from goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

Alisson’s display in the first leg was crucial, with match-winner Harvey Elliott stating they would have struggled without him.

The team are now looking to capitalise on their advantage at Anfield. Goals are expected in the second leg, as PSG have a 93-match streak of Champions League matches without a goalless draw. 

Paris boss Luis Enrique has promised an attacking approach, stating his team have “nothing to lose” and will aim to prove they deserve to progress. 

Liverpool, with their in-form goalkeeper, will hope to control the game and continue their journey in the competition.

History is on the English club’s side, as the previous 39 European ties in which they have held a first-leg advantage have ended in the Premier League club going through. 

Having secured success in Paris last week, Liverpool hope to make it 40 from 40 in their quest for top-flight success and European triumph. 

What next for Liverpool?

The winner of Tuesday’s tie will face Club Brugge or Aston Villa in the quarter-finals.
