PSG Take 2-0 First‑Leg Lead Over Liverpool in Champions League Quarter‑Final

Holders controlled the night in Paris, putting Arne Slot’s struggling side under real pressure to respond at Anfield.

Overview

  • PSG controlled possession and chances on Wednesday in Paris, winning 2-0 through Désiré Doué’s deflected opener and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s second‑half finish.
  • Referee José María Sánchez reversed a penalty for a foul on Warren Zaïre‑Emery after a VAR review, and Ibrahima Konaté’s booking was also rescinded.
  • Arne Slot switched to three centre‑backs and Liverpool managed just three shots with none on target as Giorgi Mamardashvili stood in for the injured Alisson.
  • Alexander Isak returned from a long layoff as a late substitute, while Mohamed Salah remained unused on the bench.
  • Slot said Liverpool were in “survival mode,” and next Tuesday’s second leg at Anfield now looms as a steep task for a team with one win in six and 16 defeats this season.
