You're looking at Liverpool and they've created opportunities, but there's that feeling of PSG on the break.

After a fast opening 20 minutes or so things have calmed down somewhat.
Not in the away end, though. Tops are off, drums are being banged and songs are in full flow among the PSG fans.

If Liverpool had some luck last week, they haven’t had much tonight so far.

Liverpool hemming PSG in here in front of the Kop.
The visitors can't get out and eventually Dominik Szoboszlai wins the ball back for his side.

Oh, boy. PSG have the key to unlock Liverpool's high press. What a game this is already in the cauldron of Anfield.

Bradley Barcola causing all sorts of problems for Liverpool at the moment.
His side's 12th-minute goal was the earliest Liverpool have conceded at Anfield in the Champions League since September 2017 v Sevilla (Ben Yedder, 5th minute).

Trent Alexander-Arnold trying to overplay.
That's where PSG want that turnover for their three important players to have a free run.
Brilliant from Alisson, again. Alisson read the situation - gets low and stops the ball with his legs.

Nobody expected that in the PSG team. Ibrahima Konate hits that shot low and it bounces just in front of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

He's at it again!
Alisson comes out to meet what looked like a brilliant opportunity for Bradley Barcola after Trent Alexander-Arnold gave the ball away. The Brazilian closes down the angle and gathers the ball calmly.

A potentially unlikely goalscorer... Ibrahima Konate is in space on the edge of the box and thinks it's worth a go. It was and he forces a good save from Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Bayer Leverkusen 0-0 Bayern Munich (0-3 agg)
A good chance for Harry Kane, looking to get his 10th goal in this competition for Bayern this season. He strikes it really well from inside the penalty area, but home keeper Lukas Hradecky is equal to it to parry the strike.
Former Crystal Palace man Michael Olise is the next to try his luck, cutting in from the right flank but curling wide left footed.

Liverpool have been caught with a sucker punch.
Their first effort and PSG have scored a goal.
After so much good work from Liverpool, they didn't manage to capitalise.

So, as things stand, we're all square.
Oh how quickly things can change, eh?

Liverpool get the press wrong.
They try to press the full-back, Nuno Mendes and he finds a delightful ball into Ousmane Dembele.
Against the break, PSG find themselves ahead.
Ousmane Dembele (12 mins)
Image source, Getty ImagesWhere has that come from?!
All that good work from Liverpool but they've been punished for not picking up a ball into the middle of the park.
Ousmane Dembele is allowed to pick it up and find Bradley Barcola on the right. Ibrahima Konate is first to the ball into the penalty box and it looks like he's done enough to clear the ball but Dembele is there to turn it home.
Game on!
Bayer Leverkusen 0-0 Bayern Munich (0-3 agg)
If Bayern Munich were to go down to 10, this tie would spring alive again. They get two players booked inside the first nine minutes with Konrad Laimer and Kingsley Coman having to watch their step for 80 plus minutes.
This is the first time (since Opta started recorded the stats in 2003-04) that Bayern have had two players carded in the opening 10 minutes of a Champions League game.

Liverpool 0-0 PSG (agg 1-0)
Liverpool have had as many shots after six minutes tonight (2) as across the whole of the first leg in Paris (2).

Liverpool should be 2-0. Mo Salah with an another opportunity, he skins Nuno Mendes.
Salah, on his left foot wriggles his way through. He tried to open up and bend it into the far corner.
A great opportunity. PSG need to take a breath as they're really suffering.

After losing their first European meeting with Paris SG in April 1997 (0-3 in the Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final first leg), Liverpool have only lost one of four against them since, winning three of them.
None of the last 15 French sides to play away from home against an English opponent in Europe have managed to win, with 14 of those ending in defeats (D1). Indeed, the last such victory was by Paris SG in December 2020 against Manchester United (3-1 in the UEFA Champions League).
Liverpool have progressed from each of their last 14 UEFA Champions League knockout stage ties having won the first leg, with Bayer Leverkusen in 2001-02 (quarter-finals) the last side to eliminate them after the Reds had taken an advantage into the second leg (Liverpool won first leg 1-0, lost 2-4 in the second).
Paris SG have managed to progress from two of their previous five UEFA Champions League knockout stage ties after losing the first leg, coming back to beat Borussia Dortmund on aggregate in the 2019-20 last 16 (3-2) and Barcelona in the 2023-24 quarter-finals (6-4).
Liverpool have won all four of their home games in the UEFA Champions League this season. Should they claim another victory here, Arne Slot would become the first manager to win each of his first five home matches in charge of an English side in the competition.
Paris SG have held their opponents to under one expected goal on nine occasions in the UEFA Champions League this season (including in the first leg v Liverpool); the most of any side. Indeed, Liverpool’s two shots in the first meeting (0.27 xG) were their fewest in a knockout stage game in the competition on record (since 2003-04).
Paris SG players combined to complete 19 dribbles in the first leg of this tie; the most by a team in a UEFA Champions League game against Liverpool since Porto in March 2018 (21). Indeed, the two highest game totals by a side in the knockout stages of the competition this term have both been by Paris SG: 20 v Brest (play-off round) and 19 v Liverpool (round of 16).
Paris SG’s Vitinha has completed 474 passes under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season, 100 more than the player with the next-most (Joshua Kimmich, 374). Indeed, 49 of those came against Liverpool last time out; the most in a knockout stage in the competition this term.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has played more games without scoring against Paris SG than against any other opponent in his UEFA Champions League career (3). In the first leg of this tie, Salah failed to attempt a shot in a game for just the second time as a Liverpool player in this competition (previously v Real Madrid in March 2023, which was also in the round of 16).
Liverpool’s Alisson made nine saves in the first leg against Paris SG last week, helping his side to keep a clean sheet in the process. The most saves on record (since 2003-04) by a goalkeeper without conceding over two legs of a UEFA Champions League knockout stage is 12, achieved by Gianluigi Buffon in 2012-13 (12 v Celtic) Hugo Lloris in 2018-19 (12 v Borussia Dortmund).
