He has to start! Arne Slot simply has to play under the radar star vs PSG

There's one player who simply has to start against Paris Saint Germain.

Liverpool face a defining night at Anfield as they prepare for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against the French giants.

Arne Slot's side has not been great this season. But their low-point was definitely the game in Paris last week.

Lining up with a new formation, this was a game that was supposed to limit PSG's influence in attack. Yet none of that happened.

PSG dominated and were still able to create plenty of chances. It is only to those missed chances than they can rue that there is still faith and optimism at Anfield.

A 2-0 deficit is not impossible to overturn. Yes, we've seen no sign that this Liverpool team can overturn it.

But Anfield is a hallowed stadium on European nights, where we have seen miracles happen.

It won't be easy.

Against a side packed with world-class talent, Liverpool have to produce their best performance of the season.

The opening stages will be crucial - just like it was against Barcelona. Slot's side have to set the tone not only on the pitch but in the stands and they need a big reaction. Anfield must play its part.

The stadium has long been synonymous with unforgettable comebacks, and the players will look to feed off that energy from the very first whistle - the fans have to back them.

History has shown that Liverpool are capable of the extraordinary in the Champions League. Nights like these are woven into the club’s identity, where the impossible begins to feel achievable. But it only happens when the crowd and team move as one - pressing, pushing, and believing together.

They haven't done that all season, but there is a way Slot can instantly get the crowd going.

Well one player for that matter.
