A Parisian himself, centre-back Konate took extra satisfaction from the outcome, but quicky warned Liverpool have work to do in the return at Anfield on Tuesday if they are to reach the quarter-finals.
Read the No.5’s post-match reaction, speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, below…
On his assessment of the game…
We knew PSG are a great team, maybe one of the best in Europe. And we knew today they would have the ball more than us, we knew this already. And we knew this game was about details. At the end, we go with 1-0 and I think this is great. But we have to be aware and focus as well when we play [the second leg] at home because we know they have a lot of quality. But first be focused on the game on Saturday and after we can think about the game at home.
On whether it is difficult to get used to the opposition having much more of the ball…
Like I said, sometimes in the Champions League it’s like that. We saw a great team. Sometimes the opponent dominates the game. But at the end, we just remember who won the game. Today we suffered a little bit but we had to accept it to make the effort all together. We ran until the end and that’s why at the end we scored, and we are very happy.
On if he has seen a better goalkeeping performance than Alisson’s on the night…
Ooh la la! I’ll try to think but I don’t think so. Thank you Ali today – he had a very great night and I hope we will have this Ali until the end of the season.
