The outcome was sealed by a brilliant double from Ousmane Dembele, as the French champions once again proved too strong for the English side despite not reaching their peak performance levels.

Liverpool’s hopes of a dramatic comeback were further damaged by a serious-looking injury to Hugo Ekitike, who limped off after suffering what appeared to be a ruptured Achilles, casting doubt over his availability for the remainder of the season.

The setback added to a painful night for Arne Slot’s side, who are now set to finish the campaign without silverware and sit fifth in the Premier League amid mounting pressure.

The match also marked a subdued European farewell for Mohamed Salah, who started on the bench before being introduced early due to injury concerns elsewhere in the Liverpool attack.

PSG threatened throughout the contest, with several missed opportunities in the first half, including a missed close-range effort from Dembele and a series of missed chances that kept Liverpool temporarily alive in the tie.

Liverpool briefly believed they had been handed a lifeline when a penalty was awarded to Alexis Mac Allister, but VAR overturned the decision after review, denying the home side a potential turning point.

As Liverpool pushed forward in desperation, PSG exploited the space on the counter-attack with devastating effect.

Dembele finally broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute, curling a precise effort into the bottom corner from outside the box before adding a second in stoppage time after a swift break involving Bradley Barcola.
