PSG knock Liverpool out as Dembele nets a brace to seal 4-0 aggregate
Ousmane Dembele scores twice as PSG beat Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield, sealing a 4-0 aggregate and sending a strong message in Europe; Hugo Ekitike suffers a serious injury.
Paris Saint-Germain sealed their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-0 win at Anfield, completing a 4-0 aggregate victory over Liverpool. Ousmane Dembele delivered the knockout blow, scoring twice after the break to put the tie beyond reach and keep PSG’s European run on track. The French forward found the net in quick succession, firing home with precision to lift PSG’s mood and send their rivals scrambling as the clock ticked down.
Liverpool battled hard, but the night was overshadowed by the injury sustained by Hugo Ekitike, who left the field following a serious-looking incident. The visitors managed the game well after taking control in the second half, focusing on compact defending and sharp breaks to pressure the exhausted Liverpool defense. Dembele’s goals capped a controlled performance from PSG, who remained patient and clinical in the final third.
The result leaves PSG in a strong position as they push deeper into Europe this season, while Liverpool must regroup after a disappointing exit on home soil. Jurgen Klopp’s side will now reassess their approach in domestic and European fixtures, aiming to rebound quickly from a challenging night at Anfield. PSG’s victory also signals a potential shift in momentum for the tie, with Dembele repeatedly proving he can be decisive on big European nights.
Fans from both camps will be looking ahead to the next phase of the competition, where PSG’s defensive resolve and Dembele’s form could be decisive factors in their hunt for more silverware.
