Playing at Anfield with a one-goal advantage, Liverpool is close to reaching the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
Add to this their 100% home record this season and Arne Slot’s unbeaten streak against French clubs, and it seems the Reds are confidently heading to the top eight.
To advance to the next round, they only need a draw, but a victory would allow the Dutch coach to set a unique achievement for English clubs.
In Champions League history, no manager of an English team has ever won their first five home matches in this tournament. Slot can become the first to do so in the second leg of the Round of 16 against PSG at Anfield.
Liverpool won all four home matches in the group stage with a combined score of 10:1, conceding only one goal from French side Lille.
The last time the Reds played a Round of 16 match at Anfield was in February 2023, losing a 2-0 lead to Real Madrid and losing 5-2.
Slot’s team has won seven consecutive home matches in all competitions at Anfield, dropping points in only one home game this year (2-2 draw with Manchester United).
