Liverpool's Champions League campaign has come to an end after a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, resulting in a 4-0 aggregate loss. Despite a spirited performance, the Reds were unable to overcome the deficit from the first leg.
Ousmane Dembele's late double sealed the win for PSG, who will now face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals. Liverpool had their chances, with Marquinhos clearing a shot from Virgil van Dijk off the line and a penalty award being controversially overturned. The defeat confirms a trophyless season for Liverpool, who must now focus on securing a top-five finish in the Premier League to ensure Champions League qualification.
Arne Slot's side showed endeavour, but familiar failings in front of goal ultimately cost them. The injury to Hugo Ekitike, who was forced off in the first half, is a significant concern, with the fear that it could end his season and World Cup hopes.
PSG head coach Luis Enrique praised Liverpool's intensity, but acknowledged that his side's greater precision made the difference. Liverpool head coach Arne Slot credited his players and fans for their efforts, but lamented the team's inability to score from their chances.
The defeat marks another disappointing exit from the Champions League for Liverpool, who will now look to regroup and focus on their domestic campaign.
