The Thomas Tuchel-led team are currently in the second place but need a win at Red Star Belgrade to ensure their place in the knockout as they go into the final round of fixtures just two points ahead of Liverpool.
“It was our last chance to show that we are capable of competing with a team like Liverpool, a team with an incredible mentality,” said PSG coach Thomas Tuchel in media reports.

“Everyone was ready to suffer for each other. That was necessary against Liverpool and it was a big step forward for us.”, he added.
The Jurgen Klopp- led Liverpool needs to beat Napoli by one or two clear goals in two week’s time in order to guarantee a place in the knockout stage.
The defeat at PSG’s home left Klopp frustrated as he claims that the refereeing made his side look like ‘butchers’, while only booking Marco Verratti for a high first-half tackle on Joe Gomez.
“For me it’s a red card,” he said in media reports. “I look like a bad loser, but I don’t care. I had a very good view of it and for sure it was not the same colour as the 500 other yellow cards.”, he mentioned.
Napoli are ahead of PSG by only a point ahead of PSG and three points ahead of Liverpool.
