Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) clinched a dramatic victory over Liverpool in a penalty shootout on Tuesday, securing their place in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals after a tense 4-1 finish from the spot. The showdown at Anfield saw PSG overturn a 1-0 aggregate deficit from the first leg, setting the stage for a nail-biting finale.
Ousmane Dembele ignited PSG’s hopes with an early goal, leveling the tie. Despite relentless pressure from both sides, including multiple near-misses in extra time, neither team could break the deadlock. The match hinged on penalties, where PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma emerged as the hero, saving efforts from Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones.
PSG’s clinical penalty takers—Vitinha, Goncalo Ramos, Dembele, and Desire Doue—sealed the win, keeping alive the French champions’ quest for their first Champions League title. They now await the winner of Aston Villa and Club Brugge, with Villa holding a 3-1 advantage ahead of Wednesday’s second leg.
