Dembele's Double Seals Liverpool's Champions League Exit
Liverpool's hopes of a Champions League comeback were dashed as Ousmane Dembele's late double sealed a 2-0 win for Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, ending the Reds' European campaign. Despite a spirited performance, Liverpool were unable to find the net, with Dembele's goals in the 78th and 90th minutes proving decisive. The defeat means Liverpool are out of the Champions League, losing 4-0 on aggregate. Arne Slot's side had their chances, with Virgil van Dijk denied by a goal-line clearance and Alexis Mac Allister seeing a penalty award overturned by the referee after a VAR review. The loss means Liverpool's trophyless campaign has been confirmed, and they must now focus on securing a top-five finish in the Premier League to ensure their Champions League return. PSG, meanwhile, will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals, as they continue their title defense.
