Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier wasn't tempted into talking about the prospect of facing Liverpool in the group stages of the Champions League this season.
PSG will be in pot one for Thursday's group draw whereas Liverpool will be in pot two after finishing second in the Premier League behind Manchester City last season. That means the French champions are on of the sides the Reds can be drawn to play against.
PSG are expected to dominate their league once again this season with Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in the starting line-up. But it is the Champions League they are yet to conquer and that will be their main aim.

On Sunday, PSG beat Lille 7-1 away from home with Mbappe opening the scoring after just eight seconds before going on to hit a hat-trick. Messi and Neymar (2) also got among the goals. And Galtier was asked after the match if he would like to be paired with last season's finalists Liverpool in the draw on Thursday.
"I am focused for the moment on the matches, from the next match we will play every three days,” Galtier said at his press conference, per Paris Fans .
“It’s very compact. We are waiting for the draw, we will see. It is above all a question of having rotation by always being efficient and to have freshness in the Champions League.”
