The PSG vs Liverpool Champions League match could have been a 2-0 victory, yet Luis Enrique confessed that PSG was not entirely pleased with the outcome of the match against Liverpool FC. Although it gained a significant lead, Enrique said that the performance had mixed emotions. On the one hand, a two-goal advantage in a quarter-final of the Champions League is comfortable.
Nonetheless, the context of the tie narrates a wary tale. PSG started brightly at the Parc des Princes. It paid off their early pressing as Desire Doue put the first goal in the 11th minute. His shot which was deflected went over goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, giving the home team the perfect beginning. There, PSG dictated critical things about the game. They held the ball pretty well and made opportunities and later scored a second goal to consolidate their lead.
However, the reaction of Enrique is that the performance was not as dominant as the scoreline shows. Among the issues is the missed opportunities. PSG had opportunities to build upon their lead even more, which would have virtually killed the tie. In knockout football, it can be very expensive not to score, particularly when it comes to a team such as Liverpool.
Another factor is the second leg at Anfield. The status of Liverpool to make comebacks in the UEFA champions league adds to the uncertainty. The 2-0 goal is not a final one, but quite powerful at this game. The remarks of Enrique are experience. Instead of popping the champagne, he is concentrating on the areas that require enhancement. PSG might be in the lead, but they are aware that they are not finished.
