Liverpool's Champions League campaign came to an end after a 1-1 aggregate draw with Paris Saint-Germain, with the French side winning 4-1 in the penalty shootout. Prior to the match, Liverpool manager Arne Slot acknowledged that his team needed to deliver their best performance of the season to overcome a "complete" PSG side. However, Liverpool struggled to contain PSG's attacking threats, particularly Ousanne Dembele, who scored his 21st goal of 2025 in the 12th minute. Liverpool's defense was exposed, and they were fortunate to only be one goal down at halftime. The hosts improved in the second half but ultimately couldn't find the breakthrough, forcing the match to penalties, where PSG emerged victorious. This defeat marks Liverpool's first significant setback under Arne Slot's management, and it highlights the team's limitations against top-tier European opposition. Despite a strong second-half performance, Liverpool's Champions League campaign came to an end with a 4-1 penalty shootout loss to Paris Saint-Germain. The match had ended 1-1 on aggregate, with Liverpool unable to find the back of the net in the second half despite creating several opportunities. The Reds dominated the second half, with 18 shots, including eight attempts worth 0.55 Expected Goals (xG). However, they were unable to capitalize on their chances, with Dominik Szobosalai, Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah all coming close. In extra time, PSG took control, forcing three saves from Alisson, who made a total of seven saves on the night. The Brazilian's 16 saves across both legs were the most by a goalkeeper in a Champions League knockout tie since Manuel Neur's 16 saves for Bayern Munich in 2017. In the penalty shootout, Gianluigi Donnarumma proved to be the hero for PSG, denying Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones to secure a 4-1 win. The loss marked Liverpool's first-ever Champions League shootout defeat and ended their record of progressing every time they won the first leg away from home in Europe. The defeat will be a disappointment for Liverpool, who will now turn their attention to the Premier League and the EFL Cup final against Newcastle United. With a 15-point lead at the top of the Premier League, Liverpool will need to regroup and focus on domestic success.
