Wirtz Urges Unity as Liverpool Visit PSG in Champions League Quarter-Final

The tie is framed as Liverpool’s best shot at salvaging a poor season.

Overview

  • Liverpool, who open their quarter-final at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, heard Florian Wirtz call for 90 minutes of full energy and commitment.
  • The Germany international said the team must stick together if they concede and keep belief with the return leg to come at Anfield.
  • The appeal followed Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Manchester City in the FA Cup, part of a campaign that includes 15 losses across competitions.
  • Wirtz admitted the season has fallen short of last year’s title-winning standard and said the goals now are to advance in Europe and secure next season’s Champions League place.
  • Signed from Bayer Leverkusen in a reported £107 million deal, Wirtz said facing the European champions offers a clear measure of where Liverpool stand.
