Why this matters

Two straight Champions League eliminations to the same opponent reveal a structural issue in Liverpool’s knockout game plan: possession without precision doesn’t win ties against elite counter‑attacking sides.

How did Liverpool lose against PSG?

Second leg at Anfield

  • Liverpool lost the second leg 0-0-2 at Anfield, making the aggregate 0-4 according to UEFA (European football’s governing body) and ESPN (sports news outlet).
  • Ousmane Dembele scored both goals, in the 72nd minute and stoppage time (90’+1′) (ESPN).
  • Liverpool missed a penalty in the shoot‑out after the match; Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones reportedly had their spot‑kicks saved (Sky Sports, UK broadcaster).

PSG’s tactical approach

  • PSG conceded possession but struck on the break. Dembele’s goals came from fast transitions that exposed Liverpool’s high defensive line (ESPN).

Key moments in the match

  • A penalty awarded to Liverpool was overturned after a VAR review in the first half (ESPN).
  • Dominik Szoboszlai had a goal disallowed for offside (Sky Sports).

The pattern: Liverpool created chances but couldn’t finish them, while PSG converted nearly every opportunity they manufactured.
