"We are all good enough to reach the final, so difficult to say. PSG have a game of football to lose and us as well, so I do think both, at this stage, have been here.

"We were not even in this stage and this was the round we were knocked out [two years ago]. Usually these teams go far in this tournament."

"They had the ball more than we expected. They dominated the game, they created chances. Obviously, we were too far away from their goal a lot of the time but in the end we won the game.

"We know that tomorrow with our fans, we want to show a different face and the game will be different for sure but, in the end, we just want to go through."

Liverpool have a narrow advantage in the round-of-16 tie after beating PSG 1-0 in the first leg, despite the hosts dominating at the Parc des Princes.
