If PSG are going to advance past Liverpool in the Champions League Round of 16, they’ll need Dembélé to be a significant factor. Nonetheless, with his current form, Vitinha stated what he’s seeing from his teammate, which could be a warning to the Reds.
“It’s hard to find an explanation, even he doesn’t have one, I think,” Vitinha told France 3 (h/t Le10Sport). “He scored and then gained confidence. He’s always had this ability; it doesn’t come out of nowhere. We’re happy for him, he helps the team a lot, and we hope it lasts for a long time.”
The first leg will be on March 4 at the Parc des Princes and the return leg will be on March 11 at Anfield. PSG will need to take advantage of the home ground and the young squad must be prepared to handle the pressure on the road if they want to advance.
