Paris St-Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique has expressed the belief that his side will bounce back after suffering a 1-0 defeat at home to Liverpool in their first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday.

Despite delivering multiple attempts in both half of the game, Enrique's men couldn't find the back of the night at the Parc de Princes.

They now have to head to Anfield to upturn the 87th-minute effort by Harvey Elliot.

Speaking during a post-match conference, Enrique stated that if PSG can replicate Wednesday's performance when they travel to Anfield, then they could win the tie.

"I don't think it's too difficult to analyse tonight's game. We were far superior to Liverpool. We created more chances and produced a complete performance against one of Europe's top sides. Football can be unfair at times. Without a doubt [they can go through]. We've only played the first leg. We're a side with nothing to lose. If we can replicate tonight's performance, we can qualify," he was quoted by SportsKeeda.

"We deserved more. Their best player was their goalkeeper... [Alisson Becker] was magnificent today. Today wasn't a game based on the stats or the details. We were far superior. We didn't allow Liverpool to play. They were better than us for the first five minutes but, apart from that, it was us on top. [Comeback at Anfield?] Of course, we are going to do it."
