Liverpool and PSG played out a captivating match on Wednesday evening, though one opposing player was left frustrated with how things unfolded.
Speaking after the game (via The Daily Mail), Vitinha expressed his disappointment, saying:
“It’s difficult to play a match like that against a team like this. Only one real chance, just one shot. Now is the time to show what kind of team we are.”
“We will prove ourselves, we will show our character. We’re going to win at Liverpool. Based on how we played, we more than deserved the victory.”
“We created plenty of chances, just like earlier in the season, but we couldn’t find the back of the net.”
His remarks could serve as motivation for Liverpool, with the 25-year-old’s comments practically fit for a dressing room bulletin board ahead of the second leg.
Vitinha was visibly frustrated with PSG’s Champions League defeat.
When a team secures victory with just one shot on target while their goalkeeper produces a highlight reel of crucial saves, it speaks volumes about the nature of the match.
It seems Liverpool took inspiration from their win over Manchester City, employing a similar approach to overcome PSG’s attacking threat.
Fans are all too familiar with being on the receiving end of such performances, understanding how frustrating it can be to dominate but fall short.
Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker’s celebrations after Harvey Elliott’s goal reflected just how hard-fought the victory was.
Now, it’s up to Arne Slot to ensure that Vitinha’s bold prediction doesn’t come true—and that a special European night at Anfield propels Liverpool into the quarter-finals.
