HT: Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)

Former Liverpool and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
An entertaining first half of extra-time. PSG started well, they had a couple of opportunities.
Luis Enrique has walked on the pitch and he's going on at Joao Neves.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
Nothing comes of the corner and that's that for the first half of extra time.

What was Lee Kang-In thinking there? It was so obvious that it come off Achraf Hakimi and Lee let it run out.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
Woops.
Lee Kang-In, who is supposed to be fresh having just come on, leaves the ball thinking it is going out for a goal kick but in fact ends up conceding the corner.

It certainly feels like both sides are hanging on for penalties.
It was a thoroughly entertaining 90 minutes but things have gone somewhat flat at Anfield in extra time.

Looks like both teams are settling for penalties. Donnarumma has better penalty pedigree than Alisson so Liverpool really need to go for it.

Will they? He's not had much of an impact in this game. Unlike last week where he was brilliant.

Liverpool fans will be happy to see Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leave the pitch.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
More changes.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia makes way for Lee Kang-In.
Cody Gakpo is on for Luis Diaz.

Halfway through this first period of extra time. Neither side look like scoring, to be honest.

Mo Salah had two opportunities that he should have scored from. His crossing and final ball has not been there.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
Liverpool win a corner and once again it's a safety first approach from Gianluigi Donnarumma, who comes out to punch away Andy Robertson's delivery.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
Last week's matchwinner Harvey Elliott remains on the Liverpool bench.

I thought it was brilliant from Desire Doue.
Virgil van Dijk knew he couldn't engage, he just tried to block the shot. It must have taken a lick of paint off the post.

As soon as you get into the second half of extra time everything changes.
Liverpool have to go for it now.

Tom: Why does Mo Salah not switch flanks? Luis Diaz has had great work on the other side. It would make sense and keep PSG guessing.

Oooooh. That's close by Desire Doue, a low left-footed effort that drifts just wide. Millimetres.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
PSG win an early corner and it's taken short and eventually whipped in. Lucas Beraldo gets a decent header on it but not on target.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
Away we go.
Liverpool fans in fine voice at the start of the first period of extra time. The players will need that, there'll be some tired legs out there.

As a Toon fan. Not complaining about this going into extra time. Need every bit of help we can get.
Matt
Indeed, Matt. Eddie Howe will surely be pleased.

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).
