Liverpool suffer demoralising 2-0 defeat to PSG in Champions League

Liverpool suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, leaving them with a difficult task to reach the semi-finals.

Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia struck for PSG, who dominated the match with 18 shots and four big chances. Arne Slot's back-five tactics failed against the Ligue 1 champions.

Liverpool's bid for a comeback is boosted by Alexander Isak's return from a long-term injury, though Ousmane Dembele missed several clear opportunities. The Reds face a monumental second leg at Anfield.
