Goal disallowed

Goal disallowed

  • 53'
    SZOBO THOUGHT HE HAD SCORED BUT THE OFFSIDE FLAG IS UP! It looks to be due to Luis Diaz's position in the build-up. Donnarumma was unable to hang onto Mac Allister's straight shot, giving the Reds two more chances to shoot at goal. Alexander-Arnold hit the post but reacted quickly to then lay the ball to the Hungarian midfielder. He had put it in the back of the net but the flag graces PSG.
  • 51'
    Good recovery from Neves, who chases the ball against Salah - after Dembele's failed attempt to get past Alexander-Arnold - and gets to it first with a convincing slide.
  • 49'
    Another foul, this time from Mac Allister on Dembele. Scrappy first few minutes in this second half.
  • 48'
    Dembele tries to put a low cross in for Barcola, but Van Dijk clears. The ball then comes to Jota, who is fouled by Mendes and the home side get a free-kick in their own half.
  • 47'
    Liverpool survive the scare, limiting PSG's counter to a throw-in but the ball is still with the visitors.
  • 47'
    PSG defend the free-kick well and break into the attack with Dembele.

  • 46'
    Second half is underwayyyyyyyy! Drop your predictions for the final scoreline.
  • 45+2'
    HT: Liverpool 0-1 Paris Saint-Germain. The Reds' lead in the tie just lasted 12 minutes as Ousmane Dembele opened the scoring to level the aggregated result at Anfield. The Frenchman capitalised on a defensive error from the Premier League leaders and it is all to play for in the second half!
  • 45'
    One minute of added time!
  • 44'
    Mendes gives away a throw in to Liverpool in his own half after failing to control Donnarumma's long ball.
  • 43'
    Will all these missed opportunities come to bite Paris Saint-Germain in the second half?

  • 40'
    Getting closer to the first-half whistle...

    Foul from Gravenberch, who down and prevents Ruiz from getting onto the ball. Free-kick for PSG in their own half.
  • 36'
    Liverpool had the chance to break on the counter, but it just fizzled out as the Parisians managed to recover their positions to save themselves.
  • 35'
    Kvara was inches away! The Georgian gem thought he had bagged PSG's second after he was served with a dragged-back pass from Barcola, but it is just over the bar. Got a deflection on the way so it will be a corner.
  • 32'
    Dembele could not capitalise on Liverpool's mistake! Big big blunder from Mac Allister, who was under pressure from three PSG players, losing the ball in his own half to release Demebele through on goal. The Argentine was lucky that the former Barca man just took a heavy touch, allowing Alisson to come out and nick the ball away from him. Shaky moments from Liverpool...
  • 31'
    Mac Allister goes down after a challenge from Kvara. Free-kick and the home side opt for a short one.
  • 29'
    Donnarumma almost gifting a goal to Liverpool! The Italian goalkeeper came out to catch Salah's cross but was unable to hold onto the ball, letting it go in the middle of the box with Reds shirts around. Fortunately for him, his teammates were closer and managed to clear the threat.
  • 28'
    The Reds look rather lost, Slot's expression as well from the sidelines does not transmit confidence.
  • 26'
    Mendes looking to launch a cross from the left flank, but his ball lacks precision and goes behind for a Liverpool goal kick.
  • 24'
    Foul from Robertson, who clashes with Hakimi mid-air. Free-kick to PSG in their own half.

    Liverpool had a corner in favour but the Parisians managed to deal with it successfully.
  • 17'
    Alisson stays on his feet to deny Barcola! The PSG man was 1v1 against the Brazilian goalkeeper thanks to Kvara's pass. He tried to go round him but Alisson did not go down as he was able to block the shot. Massive chance!
  • 16'
    Great save from Donnarumma on Konate. The centre-back went for glory from range and his shot would've gone in the back of the net if it weren't for the Italian goalkeeper, who stretched to push it behind for a Liverpool corner.
  • 14'
    Let's see how the hosts react after this early goal...

Goaaaaaal!

  • 12'
    GOALLLLLLLLL DEMBELE SCORES AND PSG ARE LEVEL ON AGGREGATE!!! Scruffy from Liverpool in defence there. Dembele initiates the run from the middle of the park, passing the ball to Barcola on the flank before receiving it back in the box. Alisson would've been onto it but Konate's slide prevents him from doing so and the French forward is served with an easy ball to slot in the back of the net from close range. 0-1 at Anfield and 1-1 on aggregate, game on!
  • 10'
    Szobo goes for the volley from outside the box after Mac Allister's cross was punched away by Donnarumma. Ball is nowhere near the target.
  • 9'
    Another corner for Liverpool. Luis Diaz wins it after his cross - intended for Salah - was deflected by Marquinhos.
  • 8'
    Salah looking very dangerous in this opening. Two big chances already as Liverpool look to be getting into the game after a tricky first few minutes.
  • 6'
    Salah again causing havoc! The Egyptian was looking for Jota, but the ball is blocked by the PSG defence and bounces back in front of him, giving him the chance to shoot from just inside the box. It was tight but the ball is just off target!
  • 6'
    Corner chance fizzles out after the Reds opted for a short corner.

    Liverpool survive the threat as Alisson goes for the long ball towards Salah.

  • PRVW
    With that all settled, let's have a look at some possible lineups!!
  • PRVW
    Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembele, Vitinha, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Nuno Mendes and Fabian Ruiz were all absent from PSG's starting lineup at the weekend, meaning they are all rested ahead of the biggest game of their season thus far.
  • PRVW
    As for the unbeaten Ligue 1 leaders, Enrique sees no new injury concerns as he continues to work with a fully fit squad. The Spaniard was even able to rotate most of his starting players for PSG's 4-1 win at Rennes on Saturday.
  • PRVW
    Elsewhere, Tyler Morton, Conor Bradley, and Joe Gomez are the confirmed absentees for PSG's visit tonight.
  • PRVW
    That said, with Gakpo’s last start being a month ago in the Merseyside derby draw at Everton, Slot could opt to leave him on the bench to avoid any risks.
  • PRVW
    In terms of team news and injury concerns, Liverpool are set to welcome back Cody Gakpo for tonight's showdown following Arne Slot's confirmation. "He will be in the squad. He trained today for the first time," the manager said in his pre-match press conference.
  • PRVW
    I am pretty convinced that absolutely every single one of my players will want to play. We know what Liverpool means with a historic stadium and a wonderful history. It's a huge source of motivation for the players and we want to show we are capable of putting in a performance."
  • PRVW
    He said: "Even though we're trailing from the first leg, we will be playing our own game from the outset. Regardless of the result in Paris we wouldn't do anything different. I'm not going to give away who we are going to play or how we are going to play, but we will see two of the best teams in Europe, two contenders for the final and whoever goes through will go through to the final.
  • PRVW
    Meanwhile, PSG manager Luis Enrique appeared rather calm during his time in front of the media. The former Barca boss is convinced whoever finishes victorious this week is certain to play in May 31's final in Munich.
  • PRVW
    Football was a bit unfair in the first leg. We were disappointed, but the next day we saw the game replayed and we know we have to play the same game again. Our mentality is to win. For me it's important to play beautifully, but it's more important that we score goals and win games."
  • PRVW
    The ex-Napoli star told reporters: "The odds are 50-50. Dominating this team is not easy and we played a great game in the first leg. The goal is to dominate like we did in Paris. Here at Anfield it will be more difficult, but everything is possible. We have to play our game, be confident and show them that we are here just to win.
  • PRVW
    From the visiting club, winter-signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was the spokesperson in PSG's pre-match press conference, as he insisted that the team will fight for their 'dream' after last week's 'unfair' result.
  • PRVW
    The head coach said: "We want to play a different game, the intention is always the same, we are not going to go for a draw," he told reporters on Monday. "That is also what we tried to do last week, it wasn't our intention to be so low all the time."
  • PRVW
    Arne Slot admitted that his side were "very lucky" to have come away with the win at the French capital last week, but demanded a better display from his players ahead of tonight's crunch.
  • PRVW
    Also knowing that they were unbeaten for such a long time. We were prepared very well, obviously we could have done better in some ways. But we know that on Tuesday it is going to be as tough, maybe even tougher, because they will have to come (and win) but we obviously want to win as well, to make sure that we go through."
  • PRVW
    The Dutchman said: ""It will be tough on Tuesday and you will all see. I think anyone who, before our game over there, expected it to be a dominating performance from us, I don’t think they really looked at PSG throughout the season.
  • PRVW
    Despite the advantage, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said he was wary of the Ligue 1 side, warning that they might be even more dangerous now that they are chasing the lead.
  • PRVW
    And to make things worse, PSG will not only have to deal with Alisson and his marvellous saves, but also with the Anfield crowd, who will surely try to build a hostile environment for their upcoming visitors.
  • PRVW
    PSG were the dominant side in the first leg, but Alisson Becker's heroics denied them any goals on home soil. The Brazilian shot-stopper made nine saves to keep a clean sheet ahead of tonight's return.
  • PRVW
    The clash between titans is back for the second leg, with Liverpool holding a narrow, but precious, one-goal advantage over the Parisians after Harvey Elliott's late strike sealed a 1-0 win for the Reds at the Parc des Princes.
