Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain meet again with the Reds taking a 1-0 lead back to Anfield for tonight’s Champions League last-16 second leg.
A classic smash-and-grab from the Premier League leaders, made possible by an outstanding performance by goalkeeper Alisson Becker and Harvey Elliott’s late winner, means Arne Slot’s side will progress to the quarter-finals as long as they avoid defeat to the French champions.
But Luis Enrique’s team dominated the first leg in Paris and Liverpool know they cannot rely on Alisson’s saves alone against a hugely dangerous opponent, with winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia set to carry more of his threatening menace in PSG’s attack.
Liverpool are unbeaten at Anfield in 19 games, having taken another step closer to the Premier League title with a 3-1 win over Southampton at the weekend. The Reds also have Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle to consider – but for now all their focus is on PSG.

Liverpool 0-1 PSG (1-1 Agg)
113mins: Zaire-Emery cuts in off the right wing, sends Darwin Nunez for chips, and whips a curling shot goalwards. Once again it is just slightly wide of the far post.

111mins: Konate hobbles off and his place is taken by Wataru Endo.
Konate makes a point of egging on the crowd as he limps back to the bench. The 12th man plays a crucial role at this stage.

109mins: Dembele looks incredibly frustrated as his snap shot is saved.
Konate is down injured, though, and PSG’s corner is delayed.

Liverpool 0-1 PSG (1-1 Agg)
107mins: Just to point out that Liverpool still have one more substitution to make, while PSG still have two.
There is certainly a tactical battle to be won or lost as the clock runs down.

HALF TIME EXTRA TIME: Liverpool 0-1 PSG (1-1 Agg)
That does it for the first quarter of an hour – still nothing to separate the two sides.
With 105 minutes of football now played, both sides look exhausted. This could well be separated by a single mistake – a missed pass, a poorly timed tackle, a dropped parry.
Fifteen more minutes to fight, then penalties!
Liverpool make another change, adding Harvey Elliott for Szoboszlai. To say the Hungary international looks spent would be an understatement. A penny to know how much ground that man covered tonight.

Liverpool 0-1 PSG (1-1 Agg)
105mins: An awkward slip for Nuno Mendes, and the player looks to be in some discomfort.
It looks to be a similar incident to that which took Alexander-Arnold out of the game – an innocuous stumble and awkward tumble.
The player hobbles off with PSG’s trainers while Liverpool take a corner, but Donnarumma deals with it over Van Dijk.

Liverpool 0-1 PSG (1-1 Agg)
101mins: Both sides make changes.
PSG exchange Kvaratskhelia for Lee. The Georgian has struggled to get on the ball but looked dangerous when he has, ultimately failing to score though.
Cody Gakpo returns from injury to replace Luis Diaz. Having been sidelined for a couple of weeks, this is an intense return.

Liverpool 0-1 PSG (1-1 Agg)
97mins: Another Liverpool corner, another uncompromising Donnarumma parry.
He flies off his line and bats the cross out. Not taking any chances.
Liverpool 0-1 PSG (1-1 Agg)
93min: Vitinha plays a gorgeous cross in to Beraldo, whose header, again, is inches from goal.
Doue goes close again moments later.

EXTRA TIME: Liverpool 0-1 PSG (1-1 Agg)
90mins: We are back underway. Two 15-minute halves await.
Both sides have smartly waited to use most of their substitutions, leaving three each to extra time.
Zaire-Emery comes on for PSG, Curtis Jones comes on for Liverpool.
All to play for now, this is a classic in the making.
