This was a difficult night in all aspects of Liverpool, who will certainly question the fate of the champions League raffle after overcoming the table of the new format with ease just to draw one side of the PSG that can now be considered potential winners, such is its quality.
If Liverpool rode to escape in some way with a 1-0 victory in the Paris game, they did not enjoy the best of fortune here when Alexander-Arnold, injured and now the doubt of facing Newcastle United in Wembley, and Jarrel Quanseh hit the wood.
Donnarumma also saved well from Ibrahima Konate and Luis Díaz, while Mohamed Salah had a rare night when the final flowering eluded him.
The fate of Liverpool did not even remain at the launch of the penalties, the kicks were taken in front of PSG fans at the end of Anfield Road instead in front of the Kop, who were forced to try to inspire from afar.
This was the first time that Liverpool went out to Anfield after winning the first leg of a European draw, while it was also the first time they lost a penalty in this competition after winning the European Cup against Rome in Rome in 1984, the Champions League against AC Milan in 2005 later beat Chelsea in the semifinal in 2007.
PSG will say, with some justification, they deserved their victory over two legs and coach Luis Enrique, a winner of the Champions League with Barcelona, presides over an excellent renewal of an team that seems more cohesive and energetic than the one who failed so often in the Champions League.
Lionel Messi’s “BLING BLING” Age, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have left, to be replaced by Ousmane Dembele finally fulfilling his potential and recent firm of Khvicha Kvarathskhelia adding a new dimension.
This is a team that will threaten each opponent.
