Liverpool's European dreams were shattered as Ousmane Dembele's late double secured a 2-0 win for Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, sealing a 4-0 aggregate victory for the French champions. Despite a spirited performance from Arne Slot's side, Liverpool were unable to overcome the deficit from the first leg. The hosts had their chances, with Virgil van Dijk denied by Marquinhos' goal-line clearance and Alexis Mac Allister seeing a penalty award overturned by the referee after a VAR review. Dembele's strikes in the latter stages of the game punished Liverpool's profligacy in front of goal.
The defeat confirms Liverpool's trophyless campaign, and they must now focus on securing a top-five finish in the Premier League to ensure Champions League qualification next season. PSG, meanwhile, will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals, as they extend their winning streak to six games.
