Match Day LIVE
UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first Leg match .
PSG vs Liverpool .
Venue -Parc d Princess , Paris . France .
Time – 8 pm UK time .

Parc d Princess stadium in , Paris is the venue of today s champions league round of 16 first leg match between hosts , PSG who can be described as perennial and an also rans in the yearly football fiesta and Liverpool who are well known as well as seasoned Champions League winners for more than five times in the history of the championship .

The football rivalry between the two formidable foes in the round leather game is legendary .
The Reds or the Anfield Lads in English football , swept aside PSV in the group stages to top the league phase table , while the Lique 1 champions pummelled Brest FC 10-0 on aggrgate . to qualify for today’s epic clash during the play offs .

The champions league which has eluded the Pariens for years due to their big name signing of players in the past , players like Liionel Messi , Neymar , Kylian Mbappe , but their focus now is the signing of new crop of players of tomorrow under the guidance of their sweat merchant Manager , Luis Enrique of Spain who came on board after their years of failure to capture the much coveted trophy in Europe .

PSG who were almost at risk of an embarrassing early exit from this year football tourney , were only saved by a back to back three games win including a 4-2 out of the world come back 4-2 against Man City , before meeting a familer foe , Brest whom they reduced to a village team with a 3-0 home win in France as well as an extra terrestrial as well as an aero- dynamic bashing of minnows Brest 7-0 scoring a total of 7 goals to qualify , for today’s encounter. Coupled with a comprehensive victory against Lille , 4-1 , making it a total of a 10 matches winking streak ,which has been their best so far since the 1994/95 football season..

Let’s pray that the perennial Round of 16 champions league Curse of PSG, , will end tonight , where they have been eliminated in five out of 8 champions league round of 16 matches , if they can survive the heat from the English side , Liverpool , who diid not find it difficult to ease offf , PSV Eindhoven in the group stages .

Currently blessed with the finest crop of players , assembled by Enrique , PSG , having come out clean without injuries in their last Lique 1 match ,against Lille will definitely be an added advantage to the Pariens tonight , though with a handful of changes like , Vitinha, Willian Pacho and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who is likely to join Liverpool at the end of the season as well as captain Marquinhos of Brazil who will record his 100th champions league appearance for PSG , , With this compact side , , PSG may pose a big threat to the Reds in today’s match .

For Liverpool , five times champions league winners , they are not as fortunate as PSG in their injury list with Tyler Morton shoulder injury , Conor Bradley (hamstring) and Joe Gomez (hamstring) , who is out for today s match as well as Cody Gakpo are also doubtful for today’s encounter , while Teenager Amara Nallo sent off against the Dutch team , PSV in the group stage barely fiver minutes into the game will also be absent .
Talisman and former African footballer of the year , Mohammed Sallah who has scored 20 goals in the group stages of the champions league more than Didier Drogba , and Samuel Etoo with only 19, will be available to continue with his good works for the rAnfiekd lads tonight .

Predictions .

PSG may be having fun breezing past it’s opponents in Lique 1 in France , but it may not be so tonight as they will face a mountainous opposition from Liverpool , though Slot s men will not have it their own way today , by any means with their 3 wins in their last 9 matches in all competitions , it’s a bit suspect as well And they have also not won in their last five round of 16 games against a French side apart the 2008 taking down of Marseilles .
All the same a straight is likely for the English giants tonight .

PSG 1-2 Liverpool .

Happy Viewing , Happy Humps days , That’s Wednesday .
