Liverpool vs PSG | March 11, 2025 – Match Summary

Paris Saint-Germain moved on to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals after beating Liverpool 4-1 in a penalty shootout at Anfield. The match ended 1-0 in favor of PSG after regular and extra time, leveling the aggregate score at 1-1. This win marked PSG’s first-ever shootout success in European competition.

Key Moments & Turning Points – Liverpool vs PSG

After what many called a huge robbery in the French capital, Arne Slot’s Liverpool team entered the second leg with a slim 1-0 aggregate lead. Determined to make up for a lackluster first leg, the Reds came out swinging in the opening 10 minutes, showing more attacking flair than in the entire previous match. Mohamed Salah was at the center of the early action, forcing Nuno Mendes into a fantastic block and later going on a dazzling solo run that ended with a shot going wide.

Despite Liverpool’s early dominance, it was PSG who struck first. Ousmane Dembélé linked up brilliantly with Bradley Barcola and, thanks to a lucky deflection off Ibrahima Konaté, fired past Alisson Becker to erase Liverpool’s aggregate lead. The Reds responded with a long-range shot from Konaté, which Gianluigi Donnarumma parried away, but their defensive weaknesses were exposed again. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s curling effort took a deflection off Ryan Gravenberch, just missing the target and sending a warning to the Anfield crowd.
