3 positives for Liverpool following their 3-2 win against PSG

#2 The Reds have made life easier for themselves in the following group stage games

Although Thomas Tuchel's side looked laboured and lethargic throughout the ninety minutes, they still caused Liverpool real danger and were only moments from snatching a crucial point. Italian outfit Napoli will also prove a tough test for the Reds, with the side from Naples causing problems for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in both meetings during the group stage despite succumbing to City both times.

The double loss of Jorginho and manager Maurizio Sarri to Chelsea did rock the Napoli boat, as former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti took over the reigns during the summer. The away tie in Paris, therefore, looks the most daunting task of them all but this win could simplify their task significantly, with PSG possibly having to gamble to earn three points in the reverse fixture. The onus is now on the Parsian's given this opening day loss, which could result in them landing a harder tie in the last sixteen, should they finish runners-up.

Liverpool showed two sides to their game; the natural exuberance and energy we have come to expect from a Jurgen Klopp side, and a steely resilience which the Reds' have lacked in recent years. The opening day win may also prevent a repeat of last year's scenario, where the Reds had to secure at least draw against Spartak Moscow in order to progress to the next stage of the Champions' League.
