Paris SG and Liverpool have met on six previous occasions in European competition, with both sides registering three wins each. Their most recent meetings came in the UEFA Champions League last season, where both won 1-0 away from home in the round of 16, before the Parisians won on a penalty shootout at Anfield to progress (4-1).

In last season’s round of 16 tie between these two sides, Liverpool averaged just 38.6% possession and had 14 fewer shots on target than opponents Paris SG across the two legs (4 for, 18 against); their biggest negative shot on target differential in a UEFA Champions League knockout stage tie on record (since 2003-04).
