Paris coach vows to take on the Reds at the Parc des Princes

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has provided critical fitness updates on Bradley Barcola and Fabian Ruiz as his side prepares to host Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. While Barcola has made a surprisingly rapid return to training following an ankle problem, the Parisians remain cautious regarding the availability of their key stars.

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has admitted he is "worried" for Arne Slot’s future following a humiliating 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City, but he does not want to see the manager sacked. The former captain criticised the lack of fighting spirit in the squad after a run of only one win from their last five games in all competitions.

Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard has identified Bayern Munich star Michael Olise as the ideal "like-for-like" successor to Mohamed Salah ahead of the Egyptian's summer departure. The 33-year-old forward recently confirmed he will end his legendary nine-year stint at Anfield, leaving the Reds’ recruitment team with a monumental task to fill the void on the right wing.

Christophe Dugarry has predicted that Paris Saint-Germain will "massacre" Liverpool in their Champions League quarter-final first leg. The France World Cup winner believes the gulf between the two teams is "colossal" and he doesn't expect a serious challenge from Arne Slot's struggling Reds at the Parc des Princes.
