How Liverpool can exploit vulnerable Paris Saint-Germain and why Anfield atmosphere will be new test of Kylian Mbappe

Champions League football is back with a bang at Anfield tonight as Liverpool take on Paris Saint-Germain in a match that would not look out of place in the later rounds let alone a group opener. The Reds have made a superb start to the Premier League with their perfect record of five wins from five meaning they share top spot with Chelsea. But how are PSG getting on under their new manager Thomas Tuchel? And how are the world’s most expensive footballers, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, faring after their contrasting World Cup experiences? To get the lowdown on Paris and their star-studded line-up, we caught up with French football expert Robin Bairner for our Preview podcast. We last spoke to the Goal reporter in the summer just as it appeared that Liverpool were set to land Nabil Fekir. But while we sneaked in a question about Fekir, and Fabinho’s start to life at Anfield, we mainly talked the team standing in the way of Liverpool this evening. The podcast also features our own James Pearce outside a windy Anfield, as well as audio from Jurgen Klopp’s press conference. Enjoy.
