Liverpool Thrashed by PSG in Champions League Quarter-Final

Liverpool's hopes of reaching the Champions League semi-finals suffered a significant blow after a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their quarter-final tie. Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored for the hosts in a one-sided contest at the Parc des Princes, leaving Liverpool with a mountain to climb in the return leg at Anfield. According to Liverpool manager Arne Slot, 'when we pressed them high, we were ripped apart,' and his team were fortunate to escape with a two-goal deficit. The visitors managed just three shots, none of which were on target, and will need to improve dramatically if they are to overturn the deficit and keep their Champions League dreams alive.
