PSG midfielder Vitinha makes incredibly bold Anfield promise to fans after being left hugely frustrated by Liverpool's 'only one shot' smash-and-grab Champions League win

Champions League

Liverpool

Paris Saint-Germain

<p>Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha isn't worried about the prospect of trailing Liverpool 1-0 ahead of the second leg of the Champions League round-of-16 tie, showcasing his confidence in his team by boldly claiming that they will win the game and knock the Reds out of the competition when they meet at Anfield on Tuesday.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>PSG welcomed Liverpool to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening in a highly-anticipated first-leg clash in the round of 16 of Europe's premier club competition. The hosts dominated the game, recording 71 per cent of the possession and registering a whopping 27 shots. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/far-better-luis-enrique-proud-psg-complete-liverpool-admits-alisson-bailed-reds-out-champions-league/bltbba808947d0719f2" target="_blank">Despite their dominance</a>, PSG will head into the return leg with nothing to show for it, as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/performance-of-my-life-incredible-alisson-claims-career-peaked-liverpool-smash-grab-champions-league-victory-psg/blt523728e0c82c8d68" target="_blank">Alisson’s heroics in goal</a> and substitute Harvey Elliott’s 87th-minute winner handed Liverpool a crucial advantage and a clear path to the quarter-finals.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Vitinha reflected on his team's gut-wrenching narrow defeat at home: “It’s tough to play a game like this, against a team like this, with one goalscoring opportunity, only one shot," the Portugal international told Canal+ after the game (h/t <a href="https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2025/well-win-there-vitinha-promises-anfield-turnaround-for-psg-against-liverpool-in-the-champions-league/" target="_blank">Get French Football News</a>).</p><p>Despite the defeat in the first leg, Vitinha asserted that PSG will mount an improbable comeback in the reverse fixture at Anfield, one of the toughest stadiums to visit for any team.</p><p>“We will show the team that we are, we will show our character”, Vitinha added. “We’ll win there. With the match we played, the victory was more than deserved. Like at the start of the season, we had lots of opportunities, but we failed to score.”</p><p></p>

WHAT VITINHA SAID

<p>The 25-year-old will be eager to help PSG extend their lead atop the Ligue 1 table on Saturday, March 8, when they travel to Roazhon Park to lock horns with 11th-placed Rennes. It's then on to Anfield on March 11 as Luis Enrique's men look to turn around the Champions League tie.</p>
