PSG stuns Liverpool

Elsewhere in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) celebrated a “perfect evening” to knock Liverpool out of the Champions League in a dramatic penalty shootout.

The French side, trailing 1-0 after the first leg of the last 16 tie, knew it needed to produce something special to get the better of Liverpool at Anfield and that’s exactly what the Parisians did.

Ousmane Dembélé’s early goal leveled the aggregate scoreline before PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was the hero of the eventual shootout, saving penalties from both Darwin Núñez and Curtis Jones.

“It’s a magnificent evening for us, for the club, for its history,” PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said after the match. “It was a difficult match to play here at Anfield, but it is a perfect evening.”
