Luis Enrique didn't feel his side got what they deserved
PSG boss Luis Enrique warned Liverpool his side will be dangerous at Anfield.
The Ligue 1 side’s boss was reeling after Harvey Elliott’s 87th-minute winner put the Reds in front of this Champions League last-16 tie. PSG came up against Reds keeper Alisson Becker in the form of his life as he made nine saves to deny them.
Now the French outfit must travel to Anfield next week for what is set to be a blockbuster battle in the second leg. Enrique said: “We have nothing to lose and that makes us dangerous.”
PSG could have been three or four up by half-time while Alisson continued to deny Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after the break. The Ligue 1 leaders had been on a 22-game unbeaten run and scored 40 goals in their previous 10 games.

Enrique added: "It is difficult to think about the match in a positive way. We deserved to win. The best player of Liverpool was their goalkeeper. Football is many times unfair.
"We don't have anything lose and we are ready for Liverpool. Of course, we are going to do it."
Alisson hailed his stunning display as the performance of his life. The Brazilian said: “It was probably the performance of my life.
“The manager was telling us how hard it would be to play against PSG, how good they are with the ball and that we would have to be ready to suffer. We knew what was coming.
“All the efforts the team put in makes my job easier. Then at the end Harvey [Elliott] coming in and scoring the goal, it is a great story for us. A great night.”

Ibrahima Konate escaped red for a first-half challenge on Bradley Barcola when the PSG forward was in on goal but Liverpool boss Arne Slot praised Italian referee Davide Massa.
Slot said: “It was just a top referee that should be in a game like this. I think if the referee would have blown his whistle, the VAR would not have overturned it.
“And now it was also clear for me that he should not have overturned it because it wasn't clearly wrong. And it is a big decision, that's true.”
Enrique refused to get drawn into the matter by saying he doesn’t discuss referees.
