Wow. What an opportunity. What is Luis Diaz doing? Put your foot through it!
Opportunity wasted.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
Luis Diaz picks up the ball on the left in the penalty area but he's too hesitant and opts to pass it back to Mo Salah. He should've hit it!
He gave PSG defenders the time to regroup and the attack was cut out.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
Liverpool going through the gears.
Luis Diaz cuts it back for Dominik Szoboszlai who does really well to get a shot away but Willian Pacho makes a brilliant block to turn it behind for a corner.

PSG are so quick and effective on the press. They're making Liverpool rush on the ball which is leading to their scrappy passing or running into trouble.

The game is on a knife-edge.

I've got a feeling that it'll be a long night, but Liverpool have been known to make critical substitutions and that's what Arne Slot his going to have to do.

Stephen Warnock

It is a lovely ball into the area from Trent Alexander-Arnold to pick out Domink Szoboszlai at the back post.
That will pick this Anfield crowd up.
Liverpool are getting a few more opportunities. How long PSG can continue to press like they have done in this game?
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
So much to unpack here!
Diogo Jota threads through for Luis Diaz who shifts across for Trent Alexander-Arnold. He has a go from range and it's parried away and into the path of Dominik Szoboszlai but eventually the flag goes up.
It was an offside in the build up but the passage of play went on and on so the linesman couldn't put his flag up.
Hakan Çalhanoglu (51 mins, pen)
Not the best penalty but Hakan Çalhanoglu won't care, it rolls into the bottom right corner and Inter have restored their lead.

That will do it. Harry Kane sends Bayern Munich into the Champions League quarter-finals. A free-kick from deep is played into the box, Kane gets fortunate as the ball bounces off his body and that takes it past Lukas Hradecky to leave Kane with the simple task of tapping the ball in from close range.

Hakan Çalhanoglu is brought down in the box and this time it's Inter with the penalty.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
How soon will we see changes from Arne Slot? We've seen he's not scared to change things when they're not working.
Bayer Leverkusen 0-0 Bayern Munich (0-3 agg)
Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso gets himself booked for questioning a decision. His side were nearly all conquering last season, winning the Bundesliga and German Cup and losing in the final of the Europa League.
This season though, they are eight points behind Bayern in the league and need a sensational second half to stay alive in Europe.

Liverpool keep getting caught in possession. They're trying to dribble too many times and PSG's pressing is outstanding.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (agg 1-1)
Liverpool win a free-kick in the middle of the park. It's all a bit crowded in there.

Now we'll see just what this Arne Slot team is made of. It's now or never.

Marquinhos is into the book for an early foul. That means he will miss the quarter-final first leg if PSG make it through.
Back under way in the Champions League last-16 matches.

At this level, if you switch off for one second, you get punished.
Maybe you get away with it in the Premier League or the FA Cup, but at this level you get punished.

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).
