Liverpool manager Arne Slot says Paris St-Germain are ‘the most complete team we have faced so far’ ahead of their second-leg Champions League last 16 tie.
PSG were superb last week and forced Alisson into a career-high performance before Harvey Elliott’s late goal gave the Reds a narrow 1-0 win.
Slot has promised his side will be more proactive at Anfield on Tuesday night and he has no intention of sitting back on their slender advantage.
“Is there a difference (leading 1-0)? No. We try to play every game to try to win,” he said.
“That is also what we tried to do last week, it wasn’t our intention to be so low (deep) all the time.
“Tomorrow we want to play a different game, the intention is always the same – we are not going to go for a draw.
“At Manchester City away that wasn’t the situation, at PSG that wasn’t the situation. But we do take confidence from our home game against City where we did have the ball much more and it was much more of an equal game.”
Asked whether it would require their best performance under him so far Slot added: “Yes. I do think so. This is the most complete team we have faced so far.
“We have faced Arsenal and City and they are not big margins but the intensity they (PSG) play at combined with the quality – and they are one of the richest clubs – and a great manager it is not easy to play against.”
Slot has been boosted by the return of forward Cody Gakpo after an injury. The winners of the tie will face either Club Brugge or Aston Villa in the quarter-finals.
PSG boss Luis Enrique said his side can’t wait for the fabled European atmosphere at Anfield.
“No player in the team will not want to play here. It’s a legendary stadium in the history of football in Europe,” Enrique said.
“It’s a huge motivation for the players and as a team. We want to show that we’re capable of playing a good game in Liverpool’s stadium.”
