Liverpool face the daunting task of overcoming a two-goal deficit against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain to keep their Champions League hopes alive, a challenge that Dominik Szoboszlai declared he's "ready to die" to accomplish.
A subdued Liverpool appeared well below PSG's standard in the opening leg at the Parc des Princes last Wednesday. Nevertheless, the profligate Parisians managed only a 2–0 advantage heading into the return fixture at Anfield, where the Reds will attempt to script yet another stunning comeback to add to their storied European history.
"We're going to go all in, we're going to give our best," Szoboszlai said ahead of the second leg. "From minute one until minute hopefully 90, because it can be enough, but even if it goes even more, 120, 125 [minutes].
"So, I'm ready to die on the pitch tomorrow, I think I can speak for all of the players because we want it so bad, we've worked for it so bad. And in one game anything can happen at Anfield."
Liverpool's hopes of avoiding back-to-back eliminations at the hands of Luis Enrique's outfit hinge entirely on producing their finest display of the campaign. Szoboszlai, who has been Arne Slot's standout performer in 2025–26, will be pivotal to any realistic chance of progression, and the Hungarian international appears primed for the occasion.
Szobozlai Believes in Completing Career's 'Biggest Comeback'
Most observers give Liverpool little or no chance of turning the tie around against PSG, yet Szoboszlai remains firmly convinced in the Reds' capacity to rise under immense pressure.
"Personally, I believe completely because I know what we are able to do," he said. "I know what kind of players we have, I know what kind of mentality we have and we showed it many times. Maybe not every time, but many times and that's what we need tomorrow from the start of the game.
"Of course, it will be one of the biggest comebacks in my career, probably. Especially with Liverpool against PSG in the quarterfinals of the Champions League after [being] 2-0 down. I can say it will be the biggest comeback of my career.
"We need to go all in and we need to give everything that is possible. At the end of the game if you say to yourself you gave everything and still we didn't go through, then you can still keep your chin up and say we tried it."
Szoboszlai is equally aware of the vital role the Anfield atmosphere could play in giving Liverpool an edge in the second leg, which is why he took the time to address the club's supporters on the eve of the match.
Szoboszlai Apologizes to Liverpool Fans, Urges Them to Believe
The Hungarian found himself at the center of controversy following Liverpool's embarrassing 4–0 FA Cup quarterfinal thrashing at the hands of Manchester City less than a fortnight ago. Frustrated supporters directed their anger at the players after the final whistle, and a visibly agitated Szoboszlai responded by shrugging and gesturing toward his own traveling fans.
Just over a week later, Szoboszlai issued an apology to supporters and characterized the episode as a misunderstanding.
"To make it clear, maybe it was a misunderstanding between me and the fans," the midfielder said. "I didn't mean it in a bad way. Obviously, I know what the fans mean for this club and what this club means for the fans as well. As a player, we know we do everything for them as well as we do for us.
"If it was a misunderstanding, then I apologize, but they can feel also that I'm not feeling better than them. I'm feeling exactly the same way like they do and to make it clear that I am with them and we are with them and I think hopefully they are with us as well."
Having moved past the controversy, the 25-year-old once again emphasized the enormous influence Liverpool's electric Anfield crowd could have on Tuesday's second leg.
"Anfield is going to make a big impact tomorrow," Szoboszlai admitted. "We saw it many times during this season, last season and in the past, for sure. So yeah, it's going to be not only 11 players or the subs who come in, it's going to be the whole stadium.
"We know what it feels like, how it feels to be playing for Liverpool, playing in front of these fans and playing in Anfield. I think we don't need any more motivation. We know what it feels.
"As I said, we do really need everybody for what we have to do. I still surely believe there is a big opportunity tomorrow."
