PSG Dominates Liverpool in Champions League Clash

0:00On April 9th, Paris Saint-Germain took a 2-0 lead over Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at Parquet-Pronse. Desi Raidouet opened the scoring with a deflected shot early on, and Cavice, Cavarets-Calia, sealed it with a slick finish holding off defenders before. Rounding the keeper, PSG controlled the game from start to finish, holding 70% possession and completing nearly 700 passes to Liverpool's 100-98. They missed several clear chances, including efforts from Usman-Dembele and Nuno Mendez while Liverpool's keeper Georgie Mammartisch-Villy made crucial. Saves to keep the scoreline respectable. Liverpool boss Arn Slot tried a new 3-man defense with wingbacks for the first time, dropping Muhammad Salah to tighten the midfield. But PSG tore through them anyway, especially down the left flank, leaving Slot to admit his team was ripped apart and stuck in survival mode at times. Two penalty claims against Liverpool got overturned after VAR checks, giving the visitors a rare break, and they showed some grit without collapsing.

1:06Like in their recent FA Cup Loss, still, they managed zero shots on target. Liverpool heads back to Anfield with a slim shot at a comeback on Tuesday, but overturning these European champs will take ferocious form they haven't. Show him much this season.
