The Reds players all put in a superb performance at the PARC DES tycoons as Arne Slot’s side recorded a most doubtful 1–0 palm.
Liverpool were fully outplayed by a Paris Saint-Germain side playing them out of the demesne at the PARC DES tycoons on Wednesday and yet the Reds return to Anfield with a 1–0 lead for the alternate leg of these Champions League last- 16 tie in what will be the topmost smash-and-heist of all time.
The hosts played brilliantly from the first whoosh, with Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola taking turns to trouble Liverpool’s back four, while Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz and Vitinea put in superb play in midfield. Alisson Becker was in no mood to lose, however, and as the fat Brazilian thrashed one trouble after another, the feeling grew that Liverpool could actually pull off a palm- and that is exactly what they did.
In the 87th nanosecond of a first leg that was far more one- sided than Arsenal‘s 7 – 1 thrashing of PSV the night ahead, Darwin Núñez gave fellow cover Harvey Elliott the chance to score an unanticipated winning thing.
