Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has outlined his strategy to contain Liverpool’s blistering attack ahead of their blockbuster Champions League clash. The Reds travel to Paris in dominant form, sitting 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League with just 10 matches left, making their domestic title seem all but secured.
Despite their strength, Liverpool could be without Cody Gakpo, who missed their final training session at Melwood before departing for the French capital. The Netherlands international has been sidelined in recent games against Wolves and Aston Villa but returned briefly as a substitute in the victory over Manchester City and again in last week’s win
Enrique, however, remains confident that PSG can neutralize Liverpool’s lethal counterattacks. Speaking at a press conference, he acknowledged the challenge but insisted his team had a plan to cope with the English giants’ pace. “They are one of the best teams in Europe on the counterattack.
Liverpool are competing on multiple fronts this season and have demonstrated their ability to dominate games without needing possession. Enrique pointed out the contrast between the two sides, emphasizing PSG’s reliance on ball control.
PSG have been in formidable form, remaining unbeaten since their defeat to Bayern Munich in November. They also suffered early setbacks in the initial league phase, losing to Atlético Madrid and Arsenal, but recovered in dramatic fashion.
Ousmane Dembélé has been one of PSG’s standout performers, enjoying a stellar campaign with 26 goals to his name. As the French champions prepare for their toughest test yet, all eyes will be on whether Enrique’s tactical plan can contain Liverpool’s high-speed attack or if the Reds will once again prove too explosive to handle.
