Parc des Princes saw an unbelievable game and one of the least deserving victories in this season’s Champions League! PSG had 27 shots (ten on target), three big chances, 72% possession, and 13 corner kicks. On the other hand, Liverpool had two shots in total and only one decent chance, which they exploited to note an incredible victory!Alisson was the key tonight, making numerous saves and stopping all Luis Enrique’s attacking options – Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia etc. Alisson for Liverpool vs PSG:10 saves2.26 goals prevented11 recoveries8.92 WS ratingHe now holds the outright record with the most clean sheets for Liverpool in the #UCL (22). 👏 pic.twitter.com/oTJk97dbgw— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) March 5, 2025 And then, in the 87th minute, he sent a phenomenal long ball for the two subs – Hatts off to Arne Slot! – Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott, as the former assisted and the latter scored a crucial goal, after entering the game for Mohamed Salah only 46 seconds earlier – 1-0!In the end, the Parisians showed they could outplay the Reds, but this defeat will be a major psychological blow for them, and Enrique will have to put in a lot of work to soften it before the return leg.🚨🇪🇺 GOAL | PSG 0-1 Liverpool | Harvey ElliottHARVEY ELLIOTT HAS GIVEN LIVERPOOL THE LEAD IN THE 87TH MINUTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pic.twitter.com/34s5lCrmsg— Tekkers Foot (@tekkersfoot) March 5, 2025 Even though the crowd at Parc des Princes witnessed a goalless first half, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool could have scored at least three or four goals. Following the opening 20 minutes, during which the Reds were dominant, PSG “spilt” all their talent and tormented Arne Slot’s crew.In the 16th minute, Joao Neves sent the ball over the bar from inside the box, and then four minutes later, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia netted, but his goal was eventually disallowed for a minimal offside.Liverpool legend about his suicide toughts: ” I could just swing the car here and just end it”However, the Saints wasted the most phenomenal chance of the game, making three attempts in five seconds! First, Alisson stopped Ousmane Dembele one-on-one, the ball rebounded to Fabian Ruiz, who found Bradley Barcola but Dominik Szoboszlai blocked the Frenchman’s effort with a goal-line clearance. Finally, Barcola tried again from a rebound and sent the ball over the bar.Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola missed three back-to-back huge chances to put PSG ahead! 🤯🥵 #PSGLIV #UCL #Football pic.twitter.com/PQqHTIhWZr— Sportskeeda Football (@skworldfootball) March 5, 2025 Luis Enrique’s crew opened the second half with another massive opportunity. The popular Kvaradona attempted from a free kick but Alisson one more time proved his class, making a marvellous save. Twenty minutes before the end, Paris Saint-Germain had 25 shots, while Liverpool had only one?! Yet, nothing separated the rivals, as it was still 0-0.##NAJAVA_MECA_8755730##Given that his boys were extremely inefficient, Enrique subbed in Goncalo Ramos and Desire Doue in pursuit of the vital goal and potentially a winner. But Alisson was still an insurmountable obstacle, noting his ninth save ten minutes before the end, after Doue’s attempt!And then the punishment came from only second Liverpool’s shot! And even when they scored, Alisson could not be skipped! The Brazilian sent a fantastic long ball, Darwin Nunez fought for the ball, and found Harvey Elliott, who made it 1-0 with a first-touch effort in the 87th minute!46 seconds.1 touch.1 goal.HARVEY ELLIOTT’S INSTANT IMPACT 🥵🔥 pic.twitter.com/6n80okdBfx— Syaq (@sugmadiig) March 5, 2025 This goal and Liverpool’s triumph are a massive blow for PSG and Enrique will have much work to do to wake up his men and prepare them for the return leg at Anfield.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – ROUND OF 16First legTuesday Club Brugge – Aston Villa 1-3 (1-1)/De Cuyper 12 – Bailey 3, Mechele 82 (og), Asensio 88 pen/Dortmund – Lille 1-1 (1-0)/Adeyemi 22 – Haraldsson 68/PSV – Arsenal 1-7 (1-3)/Lang 43 – Timber 18, Nwaneri 21, Merino 31, Odegaard 47, 73 Trossard 48, Calafiori/Real Madrid – Atl.
