Let's see a show of thumbs for Anders' question - are you a fan of the extended Champions League format? Thumbs up for yes, down for no.

Alisson Becker's 16 saves across both legs against Paris St-Germain (excluding penalty shootout saves), stopped the most shots by a goalkeeper in a Champions League knockout tie since Manuel Neuer for Bayern Munich against Real Madrid in the 2016-17 quarter-finals (16).

However, the 32-year-old failed to save any of PSG's four well-taken penalties.

On the goalkeeper performances, over the two legs Alisson made a whopping 16 saves preventing expected goals of 3.23 which is ridiculous.

We kept on seeing Donnarumma punch it, eight punches [in the second leg] which is the most of any goalkeeper in the knockout stages so far.

It's rare in a match of this quality that both goalkeepers should take centre stage, but this really was a tale of two keepers.

Just as Gianluigi Donnarumma claimed the man of the match award for his performance at Anfield, Liverpool's Alisson Becker was the hero in the Reds' smash and grab victory in the first leg.

Gianluigi Donnarumma the penalty hero - we've seen that before.

The 26-year-old saved penalties from England's Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka at Wembley to help Italy win Euro 2020.

His heroics against Liverpool came after he received criticism for his performance in the first leg from French media.

"I got a lot of criticisms after the first leg from some journalists in France, but they don't even know what it means to be a goalkeeper," Donnarumma told Sky.

"I keep smiling, I keep working hard for PSG. I'm so happy tonight."

Erin: Re Steve 8:23 - neither should get the flak, given the performance of our forwards before either of them came on and Konate was at fault for a silly goal. We wouldn't have scored the goal in Paris but for Darwin and Jones helped us keep the ball better when he came on there too. Maybe we just faced a very good team and lost by fine margins on penalties and we don't have to partake in this online obsession of the blame game.

It is the yin and yang of football - is it right to say that Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones missed their penalties? Was it not that Gianluigi Donnarumma saved them?

Maybe the penalty takers gave him a chance with the power and direction of their spot kicks, but if the Italy goalkeeper goes the right way then his six foot four inch frame, not to mention his huge reach, will do the rest.

You just had that feeling as Darwin Nunez walked up to the ball. A sense of anxiety from the Liverpool fans...there was a sense of 'oh no that is probably not the right option'.

I look at Virgil van Dijk and when he takes a penalty he hits them and it stays hit, it is just incredible.

But to be honest with you, I am not going to say anything about anyone who takes a penalty. I hated taking penalties. All credit to them.

It is that confidence when you are walking up. I look at Curtis Jones, he wasn't at his best in the game, but Curtis is a very confident boy and he felt he could take that penalty. I tip my hat to people who do that.

Darwin Nunez fell into the arms of Arne Slot at the conclusion of a dramatic night that may yet come to define the spectacularly mixed bag that has been the Uruguayan's Liverpool career.

Nunez must not shoulder the blame for Liverpool's exit on penalties at the last-16 stage of the Champions League.

Liverpool's support, as they always have, stood firmly behind Nunez but he suffered a nightmare with an undistinguished performance as a substitute before missing a penalty in the shootout.

Nunez may not even have been called upon to take a penalty had Liverpool not lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to injury and replaced the reliable spot-kick taker Alexis Mac Allister on a physically and mentally draining, emotional night.

Andy: Re Barry 07:19 - As a Liverpool fan, good luck, but the PSG of the earlier group stage and the knockout stage are two rather different prospects.

Despite that quirk of fate that set up Liverpool's last-16 tie against an in-form Paris St-Germain side, the outcome ultimately came down to a penalty shootout.

It just so happens that Gianluigi Donnarumma is pretty good a saving penalties.

After Mohammed Salah scored Liverpool's first, the Italy goalkeeper then stepped up to save from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones, to set up Desire Doue with the chance to hammer home PSG's winning spot kick in a 4-1 shootout victory.

Fine margins, as well as fate, played their part to send league phase table-toppers Liverpool out and an improving PSG through.

But could Arne Slot have done things differently?

Was he right to rest players for that final group phase game? And do you agree with his choice of penalty takers?

I heard about this yesterday. PSV's win over Liverpool in the final league phase game meant they moved above PSG in the table, pushing PSG towards an eventual last-16 clash with the Reds.

Liverpool players slumped to the turf in disappointment as the fates and fortunes of the Champions League were illustrated in this thrilling last-16 tie that provoked all the emotions on a classic European night at Anfield.

Arne Slot's side have barely broken stride as they topped the Champions League table and raced 15 points clear in the Premier League - but this is the biggest setback Liverpool and their Dutch coach have suffered this season.

Anfield provided its usual thunderous atmosphere but Liverpool could not quite deliver, looking leggy and second best in the added 30 minutes.

Liverpool will need to recover swiftly, with the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United at Wembley on Sunday, but this was a defeat that will hurt deeply as they would have had Champions League expectations far beyond the last 16.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot, speaking to Amazon Prime: "It was the best game of football I have ever been involved in.

"It was an incredible performance, especially if you compare it with last week. Maybe we ran out of luck because the margins were so small.

"We played the perfect game, except for scoring a goal. It was similar to Paris last week, when they played the perfect game and didn't score. And then in extra time, they were maybe a little bit better."

Right, that brings us up to speed with all of Tuesday night's Champions League games.

Let's have a look now at some more reaction to Liverpool's defeat against Paris St-Germain on penalties, starting with Reds manager Arne Slot...

Hansi Flick's Barcelona were the first side to book their place in the quarter-finals, where they will face either Borussia Dortmund or Lille, after seeing off Benfica in Tuesday's early game.

Teenager Lamine Yamal was once again the star of the show, with the 17-year-old providing a brilliant assist for Raphinha to open the scoring before topping that with a stunning strike to put Barca 2-1 ahead on the night and 3-1 on aggregate.

Nicolas Otamendi's excellent header had cancelled out Raphinha's opener but Benfica's hopes were ended by Yamal's brilliance, before Raphinha struck again with a clinical finish into the bottom corner.

While Yamal caught the eye with his brilliant pieces of play, Raphinha also deserves plaudits as his double means he has contributed to 16 goals in the Champions League this season.

Only Lionel Messi (14 goals, five assists in 2011-12) has had a hand in more goals in a single season for Barcelona in the competition than Raphinha this season (11 goals, five assists).
