Liverpool 0-0 PSG (agg 1-0)
Liverpool win a corner and Virgil van Dijk is up highest but his effort is blocked.
It's pinging around and eventually drops for Dominik Szoboszlai but his effort is well over the bar.

Fast start from Liverpool with Mohamed Salah twice coming close to extending that 1-0 advantage from the first leg. You can sense Anfield knows the first goal tonight will shape this second leg and Liverpool are going for it.
Salah was quiet as Liverpool were largely over-run in Paris. He looks in the mood tonight.
Marcus Thuram (8 mins)
What a hit that is.
Inter Milan are already have that two-goal aggregate advantage but Marcus Thuram has put them even further ahead with an absolute screamer.
He drives down the left, skips past a couple of defenders then drifts in and curls into the top corner.
Brilliant finish.

Harry Kane thinks he has been fouled in a challenge in the penalty area as the ball came in from the right wing from Jamal Musiala for Bayern Munich, but nothing given.
Kane absolutely has a point, but the hosts get away with some grabbing and blocking on the England captain.
If Bayern score first, surely this tie is all over.

We've seen more from Liverpool in the first four or five minutes than we did in the first 87 minutes last week.

Mo Salah was kept quiet in Paris but it doesn't look like that's going to be the case tonight. He tries to curl one into the top corner but can't quite get it on target and it flies wide.

How has Mo Salah missed? It looked like an open goal for Salah. The run in behind for Dominik Szoboszlai was immaculate.
Liverpool 0-0 PSG (1-0 agg)
Goodness me what a block from Nuno Mendes.
The ball is played across the box by Alexis Mac Allister and Mo Salah is in space on the right eight-yards out but it's a brilliant block by Mendes to deny the Egyptian.

What a difference from Liverpool. Early pressure from them.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will be the danger man for PSG.

Mo Salah does well to keep hold of the ball down the left-hand side but PSG eventually play their way out of trouble.
Much of the noise so far coming from the away supporters and it goes up a notch as they win a corner.
Dominik Szoboszlai heads away.
Liverpool 0-0 PSG (agg 1-0)
Diogo Jota gets an early word in the ear from the referee as he goes in high on Achraf Hakimi.
Bit keen from the Portuguese.
Away we go on Merseyside, in Milan and in Leverkusen.

Regardless of what anyone says about Liverpool's performance in Paris last week, only efficient teams win football games. PSG has been a tad disrespectful and rude about the tie, and how they are confidently going to come to Anfield and win to go through. I hope to return to that after 90-minutes and say in their faces, "Pride cometh before a fall".

Liverpool have lost just once so far at Anfield this season - a 1-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest in the Premier League in September.
Paris St-Germain were brilliant last week at Parc des Princes, but have they got enough to overcome the league leaders on their turf?

No not confident. I want to believe. PSG played so well last week, it would be hard to play as well here.
No French club has won here in knockout games.
Liverpool v PSG (20:00 GMT, agg 1-0)
Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to Amazon Prime: "To play the same kind of football for PSG as they did last week - I am curious to see if they can do that.
"It wasn't a surprise how they [Liverpool players] acted last week. For the last two-to-three months, they have played man-to-man and it makes it hard coming into the rhythm with the ball.
"We have to be more aggressive than we were last week without the ball. The many moments we can hurt them with the counter-attack we have to play that better than we did last week."
Liverpool v PSG (20:00 GMT, agg 1-0)
Last week, PSG had 27 shots to Liverpool's two. Ten of those were on target. Liverpool had one on target, and it landed in the back of the net.
Lucky? Efficient? A brilliant away performance? Call it what you want. It is the Reds who hold the advantage heading into the second leg.
It's going to be interesting to see how Arne Slot goes about it this evening.

As things stand, Liverpool are through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
A draw would be enough to see them through, a win would make absolutely certain.
One goal for Paris St-Germain levels things up and leaves it up for grabs.

Tonight is when we'll know what this Liverpool team is made of. Win convincingly, and I will start to believe that they can win this year's Champions League.
Ali, Milton Keynes
Liverpool will need our entire team to turn up tonight. PSG were excellent last week, but Liverpool still won. A very tough 90 minutes ahead. I expect Liverpool to do the business again.

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).
