PSG take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the first leg of UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 8th at Parc des Princes (Paris).
PSG did not look particularly convincing even in the main round of the previous UEFA Champions League cycle. However, everything ended with a 5-0 win in the final over Inter Milan and, overall, a very successful 2025, when they won all possible trophies, with the only setback being a heavy defeat to Chelsea F.C. in the Club World Cup final. They have already taken revenge on the English side, beating them convincingly twice in the Round of 16 of this Champions League. In general, the team has clearly started to improve, even though not everything worked earlier. They won the French Super Cup in January only on penalties, and later were knocked out of the cup by local rivals Paris FC. In Ligue 1, they also failed to create their usual gap at the top due to slip-ups and the persistence of RC Lens. Even AS Monaco in the Champions League playoffs proved to be a difficult opponent, but PSG managed to turn the tie around with an away win and a home draw. Their recent form shows clear progress, especially in high-level matches. At the same time, they are still not fully consistent across all competitions.

Liverpool clearly expected a different kind of season. The “Reds” anticipated difficulties in 2024/2025 after the departure of long-time successful manager Jürgen Klopp. However, his successor Arne Slot surprisingly led them to a confident Premier League title. In the summer, they invested heavily in new signings but began to struggle already from the Super Cup. Now they have virtually no chance of finishing higher than fourth in the league, and even that position is under threat from more consistent rivals. In the cup, they suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat to Manchester City last weekend. In the Champions League, despite finishing third in the main round, they again lost in Istanbul — 0-1 to Galatasaray S.K. — before responding with a dominant 4-0 win at home. Their current form looks unstable, with significant fluctuations in results. Overall, Liverpool are struggling to maintain consistency, especially in away matches.
In 2018, the teams exchanged home wins in the group stage. In March last year, they met in the playoffs, where PSG advanced after a narrow home defeat followed by a 2-0 away win, taking a step toward their long-awaited title. It is hard to believe that Liverpool will withstand the pressure away from home. The pick is PSG to win at home.
Prediction for the match: PSG to win.
