"When you play in England, people often say it's the best league in the world,"
"If Liverpool think this weekend's game is more important than tomorrow's, that's their problem. For us, this is very important, just like the one against Angers this weekend. Tomorrow, we can say that football will be celebrated. We will see two extraordinary clubs with passion and history, in an extraordinary setting. Everyone will come with a smile. I hope that everyone wearing the Marseille jersey and with Marseille blood will leave with a smile."
Liverpool topped the 36-team Champions League league stage last season but were eliminated in the round of 16 after drawing eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain. Liverpool sit just outside the current top eight on goals scored before two final group matches, away at Marseille and at home to Qarabag, with Marseille the sterner test. Marseille occupy a play-off place, three points behind Liverpool, meaning a victory would leapfrog them above the Reds. Liverpool are also fighting for Premier League placement to qualify for the 2026-27 Champions League and face Bournemouth domestically. Marseille expect to capitalise on any lack of focus from Liverpool.
