Liverpool’s Champions League campaign came to a painful end as Paris Saint-Germain secured a 4-1 victory on penalties following a tense 1-1 aggregate draw at Anfield.
The heartbreaking defeat shattered the club’s treble aspirations and left fans in deep disappointment.
Ousmane Dembélé capitalized on a defensive mistake in the 12th minute, leveling the tie and setting the stage for a highly intense encounter.
Despite several scoring opportunities for both sides, neither team could find the decisive goal in regulation time, forcing the match into a penalty shootout.
Meanwhile, as the shootout unfolded, Liverpool struggled under pressure.
Darwin Núñez and Curtis Jones failed to convert their penalties, while PSG displayed clinical precision, converting all four of their spot-kicks.
This decisive moment sealed the French club’s place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Moreover, the loss proved to be an emotional blow for Liverpool. Mohamed Salah, visibly distraught, was seen in tears as the reality of elimination sank in.
With their hopes of a historic treble now over, the Reds face the difficult task of regrouping and refocusing for the remainder of the season.
On the other hand, PSG celebrated their triumph as a testament to their resilience.
The French giants, who have been seeking Champions League glory for years, now move forward with renewed confidence.
