"I don't know what others are thinking, but we have to be cautious and careful enough to avoid being defeated in the Champions League."

"We won the Champions League last season and some of the players were not in our team at that time, some of them have left now, and some of them may be playing in a tournament of this level for the first time."

"What I want to tell you is that if you want to win, you have to do your best!"

September 9th, Liverpool’s final preparations.

Klopp has already formulated the tactics, and what he emphasized in the end was that they must not let their guard down.

In the first round of the group stage, Liverpool will go to Paris' home ground to compete at the Parc des Princes.

The Parc des Princes was packed, and everyone came to the stadium ready for a big battle!

The official live broadcast room of the Champions League is open!

Scholes has already got the starting lineups for both teams!

"The starting lineup is in my hands now, Paris Saint-Germain will line up in 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Areola!"

"Defenders: Bernat, Kimpembe, Thiago Silva, Meunier!"

"Midfield: Di Maria, Marquinhos, Rabiot!"

"Forward: Neymar, Cavani, Mbappe!"

"Among them, the deadly duo of Neymar and Mbappe is the focus of many fans."

"For Liverpool, there have been some changes in the squad."

"Goalkeeper: Mignolet!"

"Defenders: Robertson, Van Dijk, Lovren, Arnold!"

"Midfield: Wijnaldum, Lin Chen, Henderson!"

"Forwards: Mane, Solanke, Salah!"

The players in the locker room were ready. After entering the player tunnel, Mbappe came forward to greet Lin Chen, while Neymar talked to the substitute Firmino.

Referee Pisica leads both teams onto the field, and the battle is about to begin!

With the end of the opening ceremony, the competition officially begins!

"The game started, Paris kicked off first, Cavani passed the ball back and directly gave it to Thiago Silva."

"Thiago Silva controls the attack from the back, this is the tactical style of Paris Saint-Germain this season!"

Thiago Silva controlled the ball in the backcourt, and the pace was slowed down by Paris. It seemed that there was no danger, but as Thiago Silva waved his right hand, Rabiot suddenly retreated to receive the ball, turned around and broke through Wijnaldum, and then passed it to the left.

Di Maria received the ball and passed it directly to the left. Neymar decisively took a one-on-one approach on the wing, forced his way past Arnold and successfully broke into the penalty area. After going to the baseline, he passed the ball to the middle!

Cavani followed up with a shot, but Van Dijk blocked it accurately, blocking Cavani's shot!

Lovren cleared the ball with a long kick and the crisis was resolved!

"Pretty!"

"Paris Saint-Germain created an attacking opportunity right at the start of the game, it was smooth sailing!"

"This is the configuration of their midfield. Rabiot is responsible for advancing, Di Maria is responsible for passing the ball forward, and Marquinhos is responsible for protecting behind. The three of them have clear division of labor."

"And if there's an opportunity on the wing, I will charge in without hesitation!"

"Paris played very actively at home, they are aiming for three points!"

From the first minute of the game, the signal sent by Paris Saint-Germain was clear:

No one else can do anything, we just want to go for the three-pointer!

Liverpool was not impulsive. They retreated their formation first and gave space to Paris Saint-Germain!

The 11th minute of the game!

"Paris has a very distinct three-man midfield formation in Germany, which is clearly distributed according to the responsibilities of different players."

"Rabiot was relatively high up on the right side, deliberately avoiding Liverpool's Lin Chen who was also on the right."

"Both of them were standing on the right side, but because they were facing different directions, Rabiot was able to avoid Lin Chen on the court."

"Marquinhos stands on Lin Chen's side, while Di Maria is in front and stuck next to Henderson. In this way, Paris' midfield advancement will become smoother."

"As long as Rabiot can get past Wijnaldum, he can complete the midfield advancement!"
