The Reds topped the league phase of the 2024/25 Champions League having won seven out of their eight games.
The Merseyside club have looked comfortable in the competition so far with Liverpool impressing against Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan.
There rewards for that effort is a Last-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain, who look to be dark horses in the competition this season, evident in how easily they brushed aside Stade Brestois in the last round.
Liverpool were linked to Kvicha Kvaratskhelia in January and fans of the Merseyside club will get to see what they missed out on, while PSG will get a closer look at Ibrahima Konate in the next round.
