Paris Saint-Germain continues to affirm their position in Europe when they become the first French team in history to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals three times in a row.
The convincing 2-0 victory right at Anfield stadium not only recreated the first leg score, but also pushed Liverpool into a crisis. This is also the second consecutive year that Arne Slot's team has fallen to the French representative.
Despite entering the game with a spirit of coming back, Liverpool soon faced a harsh reality. The home team's hopes were severely damaged when Hugo Ekitike was injured early.
The appearance of Mohamed Salah from the bench somewhat brought positive signals, but goalkeeper Matvey Safonov and Marquinhos' certainty denied all chances for the home team.
Stepping into the second half, coach Arne Slot continuously adjusted personnel to increase pressure. However, when Cody Gakpo or Joe Gomez's chances unfortunately passed, and VAR denied a penalty from Alexis Mac Allister, the worst scenario happened.
In the 70th minute, from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's assist, Ousmane Dembele launched a classy curling shot to open the score. In injury time, Bradley Barcola assisted Dembele to complete a double, sealing a 4-0 victory for PSG.
This defeat puts Liverpool at risk of going empty-handed this season. Great pressure is weighing heavily on Slot, as the minimum goal is a position in the top 5 of the Premier League to maintain his seat at Anfield.
