LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool is aiming for another famous Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
The six-time European champion trails 2-0 after the first leg of the quarterfinal in Paris. But it is hoping for the type of Anfield night that saw it rout Barcelona 4-0 in the semifinals in 2019 to overturn a 3-0 first leg loss.
“There is a belief that we can do special things . . . but we need to be very, very, very special," coach Arne Slot said ahead of the match. “We know we need an exceptional performance to go through to the next round.”
Defending champion PSG totally dominated the first leg last week and could have ran up a more commanding lead if it had taken its chances.
Coach Luis Enrique warned his team about the potential to slip up with the semifinals within touching distance.
“You need to be really careful, there could be pitfalls and it could be a trap,” he said. “Everyone says, ‘You won (the first leg) easily and you were much better than (the) opposition.’ It might be the case but things can change so quickly in a football match.”
Barcelona must also overturn a 2-0 first leg loss against Atletico Madrid if it is to advance to the semifinals.

“Our collaboration with SES reflects Boeing’s commitment to delivering advanced, reliable connectivity to our airline customers,” said Destry Lucas, Director Airplane Connectivity, at Boeing. “We are making strong progress bringing multi-orbit connectivity into the production environment, enabling a more streamlined installation approach and supporting scalable, line-fit capable solutions.”
Designed to operate across both low-Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary (GEO) satellite constellations, SES’ system enables global coverage, redundancy, and low-latency performance. The success of its multi-orbit ESA system, with 500 installations complete and 1,000 commitments in the pipeline, underscores confidence in SES’ innovative approach to in-flight connectivity.
