Dembele's Double Seals Liverpool's Champions League Exit

Liverpool's European ambitions were dashed as Ousmane Dembele's late double secured a 2-0 win for Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, sending the Reds crashing out of the Champions League. Despite a spirited performance, Liverpool were unable to overcome the two-goal deficit from the first leg, and their trophyless campaign was confirmed. Arne Slot's side had their chances, with Virgil van Dijk and Alexis Mac Allister both going close, but it was Dembele who proved to be the difference maker, scoring twice in the latter stages to seal the win for the European champions. The result means that PSG will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals, while Liverpool must now focus on securing a top-five finish in the Premier League to ensure their return to the Champions League next season.
