In the early morning of March 12 (Vietnam time), Liverpool hosted PSG in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. The home team had the advantage of leading by 1 goal after the victory in the first leg.
The two teams created an exciting match from the start. In the 12th minute, Ibrahima Konate missed a pass, accidentally creating an opportunity for Ousmane Dembele to score the opening goal at Anfield.
The first half came with many clear opportunities, but the excellence of goalkeeper Alisson denied the visitors. In the second half, Liverpool accompanied PSG's strikers better, but did not have many counter-attacks.
After 90 minutes of official play, the two teams entered extra time. PSG have had a total of 21 shots, while Liverpool have 19. The two teams traded blows, causing both goalkeepers Donnarumma and Alisson to continuously face the challenge. However, no one broke the deadlock after 120 minutes, forcing the match into a penalty shootout.
Here, goalkeeper Donnarumma became a hero when he denied two shots from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones, while PSG successfully executed all 4 shots. With a score of 4-1, PSG won a ticket to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Luis Enrique's team showed an effective style of play. Their strikers are full of energy and their midfield is much more rhythmic than Liverpool. This victory is as an affirmation that PSG is a formidable candidate for the championship this year. Their next quarter-final opponents will be Aston Villa or Club Brugge.
