Paris Saint-Germain player Vitinha maintained that his team will defeat Liverpool at Anfield to reverse their fortunes in the Champions League round of 16. The Reds secured a surprising victory at the Parc des Princes during the first leg on Wednesday. PSG dominated the match with 70 percent possession and an impressive 27 shots, completing over 600 passes. In contrast, Liverpool managed only 30 percent possession, registered just two shots on target, and made around 220 passes. A remarkable display by Alisson ensured the match remained scoreless until Harvey Elliott, who was substituted in, netted the decisive goal just three minutes before the end. Consequently, Liverpool will take a narrow one-goal advantage into the second leg next Tuesday. However, Vitinha remains confident that Les Parisiens will come back in the tie by winning at Anfield, a venue where the French team has yet to succeed. “It’s challenging to compete in a match like this against such a team when you only have one chance to score, just one shot.” “We will demonstrate the strength of our team and our character,” he stated to Canal+ (as reported by Mirror). “We will secure a victory there.” Considering the game we played, the win was thoroughly justified. “At the beginning of the season, we created many chances, but we couldn’t convert them into goals.” Remarkably, PSG’s defeat on Wednesday marked their first loss since November 26, when they lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League group stage.
