Kathmandu -Liverpool's UEFA Champions League campaign ended on Tuesday night as they suffered a dramatic 4-1 penalty defeat to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Round of 16.
With the aggregate score locked at 1-1 after two legs, Liverpool having won the first leg and PSG edging the second leg 1-0 at Anfield, the tie headed to a tense penalty shootout where the French giants held their nerve.
Ousmane Dembele's early strike in the 12th minute gave PSG the edge in regulation time, levelling the tie on aggregate and setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion under the Anfield lights.
In the shootout, Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos, Dembele, and Desire Doué all converted coolly for PSG, while Mohamed Salah was the lone scorer for Liverpool. Darwin Núñez and Curtis Jones faltered from the spot, sealing Liverpool's exit agonisingly.
For Liverpool, it marks a bitter end to their European journey, while PSG marches on to the quarter-finals, buoyed by their composure in a high-pressure showdown.
