Liverpool Stun PSG with Late Winner
in Champions League

Paris, 6 Mar (ONA) — Liverpool
completed one of the biggest smash and grabs in the UEFA Champions League
history to come away from their last-16 first leg against Paris St-Germain (PSG)
with a win.

PSG completely dominated the game,
with 27 shots, and Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson had to make nine saves.

But the hosts could not find an
opener – and the Reds scored with their second shot of the night in the 87th
minute.

Harvey Elliott netted with his first
touch, after replacing Mohamed Salah, when he was picked out by Darwin Nunez.

Luis Enrique’s side were shell
shocked – and how they failed to score will go down as a mystery. Well, an
Alisson-shaped mystery.

PSG forwards Ousmane Dembele and
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in particular were unplayable at times.

Kvaratskhelia had a fine goal in the
first half rightly disallowed by the video assistant referee (VAR) for offside.

The VAR again sided with Liverpool,
more controversially, when Ibrahima Konate avoided a red card despite shoving
Bradley Barcola over just outside the box.

Liverpool will host the second leg
next Tuesday, 11 March 2025.
