"PSG midfielder Vitinha stated, 'Favorite according to you [the media]. The same way you said last year that Liverpool was. Even if Liverpool are not in their best form they remain a great team with great players.'"
"PSG coach Luis Enrique insisted, 'With this team, it's impossible to have a favourite.' This reflects the unpredictable nature of football and the potential for any team to perform at a high level."
Paris Saint-Germain is downplaying their status as favorites for the Champions League quarterfinal against Liverpool. Liverpool is experiencing a domestic slump, being out of the Premier League title race and suffering a heavy FA Cup defeat. In contrast, PSG is performing well in Ligue 1. Last year, PSG narrowly defeated Liverpool in the knockout stage and went on to win the Champions League. PSG players emphasize Liverpool's quality despite their current form, asserting that no team can be labeled as the favorite.
