- Liverpool’s Champions League hopes appear bleak after Paris St Germain secured a deserved 2-0 victory against Arne Slot’s struggling side in their quarter-final first leg in France.
- The result intensifies pressure on Slot, whose team had recently suffered a humiliating 4-0 FA Cup exit at Manchester City.
- In Paris, Desire Doue’s deflected early effort opened the scoring, followed by an excellent Khvicha Kvaratskhelia goal, which ultimately sealed the win for the hosts.
- Luis Enrique’s side now hold a commanding position heading into Tuesday’s return fixture at Anfield.
- The French champions could have boasted an even greater advantage, were it not for some profligate finishing and crucial saves from Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.
