PSG Reach Champions League Semi-Finals With Anfield Win, Face Bayern Next

The holders advanced on a Dembélé brace and a standout display from goalkeeper Matvey Safonov, with injuries now a test before Bayern.

Overview

  • Paris Saint‑Germain won 2-0 at Anfield on Tuesday as Ousmane Dembélé scored twice to complete a 2-0 aggregate and a third straight Champions League semi-final.
  • Goalkeeper Matvey Safonov produced several decisive saves and Marquinhos cleared off the line, and a second‑half Liverpool penalty was overturned after video review.
  • Bayern Munich beat Real Madrid 4-3 on Wednesday to set up a two‑leg semi-final against PSG later this month and in early May.
  • Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike left on a stretcher with what coach Arne Slot called a serious injury, putting his club run‑in and World Cup chances at risk.
  • PSG also saw Nuno Mendes and Désiré Doué go off hurt, and Luis Enrique said he shifted to a more direct approach after the break to target counter‑attack space.
