LIVERPOOL: Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League after Paris Saint-Germain held their nerve in a tense penalty shoot-out at Anfield, with Gianluigi Donnarumma’s crucial saves proving decisive following Ousmane Dembele’s early goal that levelled the tie on aggregate.
Trailing 1-0 from last week’s first leg in Paris, PSG levelled the tie on aggregate thanks to Ousmane Dembele’s early strike at Anfield.
There were plenty of chances but no further goals at the end of 90 minutes or extra time, taking the tie to a shoot-out.
PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma then performed heroics by saving penalties from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones, while all four of the away side’s kicks were converted by Vitinha, Goncalo Ramos, Dembele and Desire Doue.
The French champions, who have never won the competition, now advance to a quarter-final tie next month against either Aston Villa or Club Brugge.
Villa host the Belgian side on Wednesday and lead 3-1 from the first leg.
