On whether Liverpool need to produce their best performance of the season...
Yes, I do think so because this is the most complete team we've faced so far. What I mean by complete – and OK, we've faced Arsenal and [Manchester] City and it's not that there are big margins – but the intensity they've played at combined with the quality they have... they have so much quality and a great, great, great manager. He lets the team play in a way that is not easy to play against his team; he brings the best out of every player and he brings an incredible work-rate into the team. That's why I think we have to be at our best tomorrow. But, for example, we didn't have ball possession at all at City away but at home we had a completely different performance against City than we did away.
On whether this is Liverpool's most important game of the campaign so far...
Yes, because it's the next one. Because it's the next one and the next one is always the most important.
On how key retaining possession will be in this game...
Of course we are hoping that we will have more of the ball than last week. But again, if you saw them playing, they are very intense when they don't have the ball, which led to them creating a few chances as well because they took the ball away from us when we had build-up. But in the 87th minute when the ball was with Alisson [Becker], they moved forward with a lot of players, we played it long and they were open, where we could score our goal. When I watched the game back, I saw many moments that if a few of our players would have done better then that could have led to us creating chances. I also know from my experience, because normally my team is doing what Paris Saint-Germain is doing, that every other manager always says, 'We could have done better in these transition moments.'
But the thing is, they did exhaust us a bit more than I wanted with them constantly pressing us. If you then get the ball, sometimes you're a bit too tired to make the perfect execution, and that's why it would be useful for us to have the ball a bit more. If we have the ball a bit more, hopefully the game opens up also a bit more for us. We know we can do better than last week but I don't agree with people that said that we had a poor performance, because I do feel you don't give the right credit to the team that deserves that credit, and that's what Paris Saint-Germain deserved last week. They were incredible last week.
