Liverpool 0-1 PSG: Arne Slot’s men crash out of Champions League on penalties
Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones both saw their penalties saved.
Liverpool have crashed out of the Champions League after Paris Saint-Germain beat them 1-0 and won a penalty shootout on Tuesday night.
Arne Slot’s side won the first leg of the last-16 showdown 1-0 in the French capital last week but Ousmane Dembele netted in the second leg at Anfield to make it 1-1 on aggregate.
Nothing could seperate the two sides after that, forcing a period of extra-time and then a penalty shootout with Gianluigi Donnarumma denying Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones to book PSG’s spot in the quarter-finals.
Things couldn’t have gone much worse for Liverpool, who had Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ibrahima Konate forced off with injury ahead of the Carabao Cup final showdown with Newcastle United on Sunday.
Desire Doue netted the winning penalty for PSG – who didn’t miss a single spot-kick – with the Ligue 1 champions now set to face either Aston Villa or Club Brugge in the last eight.
