Meanwhile, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of the Parisian club, made statements relayed by "Radio Monte-Carlo" after his team's qualification at Anfield. He stated: "Honestly, I can't find the words to describe my feelings after this exceptional match here at Anfield, against the best team in Europe and the Premier League leader."

He continued: "Our players delivered an incredible performance. We have young players, but they have strong personalities."

He added: "The mission is not over yet. Many people will say after this match that we are going to win the Champions League, but we are still far from that reality. However, that won't stop us from celebrating this magnificent evening for our players, our coach, and our supporters."

He concluded his remarks by stating: "We are still far from being the best team in Europe. We must remain humble. We are a young team and we are building something for the future. I've said it many times, even after a few defeats in the group stage. I've always said that we have the best coach in the world and exceptional players technically."

It should be noted that the French capital club will face the winner of the match between Aston Villa and Club Brugge, scheduled for this Wednesday, in the quarter-finals.
