Liverpool’s Champions League hopes are in serious trouble after a heavy loss to PSG. Desire Doue scored a lucky deflected goal early on, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added a brilliant second to give the French side the lead. The Reds, who didn’t manage a single shot on target, now face a tough task to turn things around in the quarter-final second leg at Anfield.
After being hammered 4-0 by Manchester City in their last game, Liverpool tried to limit the damage in Paris with a five-man defence, but PSG dominated from the start. Young Mamardashvili, filling in for injured Alisson, made some key saves, but couldn’t stop Liverpool from falling behind.
Despite chances for Ousmane Dembele, including a shot hitting the post, Liverpool couldn’t score. Alexander Isak returned from injury but it wasn’t enough. With PSG in control, Liverpool have a big challenge ahead to keep their Champions League dream alive.
