PSG secured a 2-0 victory against Liverpool at Parc des Princes and will travel for the 2nd leg at Anfield with a comfortable lead, and now the defending champions in the Champions League are favorites to reach the ½ finals.
The 1st goal of the match came in the 11th minute as Desire Doue, with an incredible solo action, slalomed his way forward past a few defenders and netted from the edge of the box.
Until the end of the 1st half, the French team continued to be the better side on the pitch and had another 3 opportunities to score, but the result remained unchanged.
In the 65th minute, Joao Neves provided the ball to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who, with a phenomenal dribble, left the Reds defenders helpless and doubled the home team’s lead.
Only a few minutes later, PSG received a penalty, but after a VAR review, the referee changed his mind and the match continued.
In the extra time, the French champs wanted another penalty, but again, official Jose Sanchez signaled that there would be no penalty after another VAR review.
