The 2025/26 Champions League quarterfinals bring one of the most anticipated matchups in European football: Paris Saint-Germain vs Liverpool. Two teams that arrived here in a most impressive way, with a rich history between them — and now fighting for a place in the semifinal.
First Leg: 8 April 2026, Parc des Princes, Paris (capacity 48,583) | Second Leg: 14 April 2026, Anfield, Liverpool
PSG and Liverpool have met 6 times in European competitions, with a perfect split: 3 wins for each team. The last meeting between them was in the round of 16 of the previous season (2024/25) — where PSG got the better of Liverpool on penalties, after goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saved penalties from Curtis Jones and Darwin Núñez. Now Liverpool arrive with a score to settle.
PSG's road to the quarterfinals was spectacular. In the round of 16, the French side wiped out Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate — 5-2 in London and 3-0 in Paris. The big hero was Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who recorded 4 goals across the two matches against Chelsea.
The exceptional Georgian is having a phenomenal season in the CL: 6 goals and 4 assists in 10 appearances, and involved in 11 goals in his last 11 Champions League matches — a stat that speaks for itself. Alongside him, Ousmane Dembélé contributed 2 goals and an assist in 8 appearances in the tournament.
Liverpool reached the quarterfinals after beating Galatasaray 4-1 on aggregate. The road wasn't smooth — the Reds lost 0-1 in Istanbul, but sealed it confidently at Anfield 4-0, with goals from Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch and Mohamed Salah.
Salah is Liverpool's central figure in the tournament — an African hero with a world record: 50 Champions League goals, becoming the first African player to reach this achievement, while breaking Didier Drogba's record which stood at 44 goals. Van Dijk, the Reds' defender, also made history earlier this season: the first defender in history to assist 3 goals in a single CL match — he achieved this against Qarabağ in a 6-0 win.
Another historic milestone: Liverpool scored their 500th goal in the European Cup — scored by Szoboszlai against PSV Eindhoven in November 2025 — becomingonly the seventh club to reach this milestone.
This is the clash between PSG's Georgian-powered attack — Kvaratskhelia, who paralyzes defenses with the sharpness of his left foot, Dembélé on the right — against Liverpool's impenetrable defense led by Van Dijk.
The two critical factors: Donnarumma in the PSG goal, who proved last season he can thwart Liverpool on penalties — and Mohamed Salah, who arrives with 50 goals in the tournament and wants to prove this year will be different.
