Liverpool 0-1 Paris Saint-Germain (Agg: 1-1; Pens: 1-4): PSG triumph on penalties to reach Champions League last eight

Gianluigi Donnarumma was the penalty shoot-out hero for Paris Saint-Germain as they triumphed against Liverpool at Anfield to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

An end-to-end encounter ended 1-0 after regulation time thanks to Ousmane Dembele’s first-half goal, when he tapped home from close range after Ibrahima Konate’s attempt to stop a cross from reaching the Frenchman resulted in an open goal for the forward.

Both teams will have been frustrated by a number of missed opportunities throughout the 90 minutes to move the tie beyond its 1-1 aggregate deadlock, as opportunities came and went, with both goalkeepers making a string of decent saves.

But an initially open game became increasingly tense as play went into extra time, and penalties seemed increasingly likely as the clock ticked towards 120 minutes.

Mohammed Salah was the only Liverpool player to score in the shoot-out, as the towering Donnarumma made consecutive saves to deny Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones.

And all four PSG takers converted from the spot, with youngster Desire Doue scoring the fourth and final spot-kick to seal the win.

Liverpool’s main man is first up and he slams home a confident penalty to level it up at 1-1.

Vitinha takes the first penalty, stutters up to it, and plays an extremely soft penalty that sneaks in after wrong-footing Alisson, who got a finger to it.

PSG will take the first penalty in the shoot-out, but the visitors did win the toss to decide on ends, meaning that the shoot-out will not be in front of the Kop.

The final whistle goes and penalties will decide which of these teams reaches the Champions League quarter-finals.

Mendes attempts a shot from range and PSG win a corner. That also gives the visitors time to bring on Ramos for Neves, with penalties in mind. The visitors take the corner short and a chance never comes.

"Liverpool, Liverpool" comes the familiar refrain as the home crowd increase the volume for these final few moments.

It is the visitors who are committing numbers forward now, flipping the general theme of the match on its head as Liverpool wait for counter-attack opportunities.

Salah cuts into the corner of the box and looks for a penalty, going down under pressure from Mendes. There was nothing like enough there for the decision to be given though, despite the protestations from the Kop. On we go.

The lively Doué cuts infield and looks for the bottom corner, but his shot doesn’t have enough whip on it and Alisson watches it all the way wide.

Konate hobbles from the field, potentially with a touch of cramp (hopefully that’s all it is). Endo comes on in his place.
