**Luis Enrique Sounds Warning to Liverpool, Claims PSG Were Unlucky in First-Leg Loss**
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique has issued a stern warning to Liverpool ahead of their second-leg showdown, asserting that his side was unfortunate not to have won the first encounter. PSG will travel to Anfield trailing 1-0, following a late goal by Harvey Elliott that handed Liverpool a narrow victory at the Parc des Princes.
