Liverpool was eliminated from the Champions League after a 1-0 loss to PSG at Anfield, followed by a penalty shootout defeat. Arne Slot admitted his team "ran out of luck" as Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones missed penalties. PSG converted all their spot-kicks to progress.
Liverpool’s Champions League campaign came to a heartbreaking end on Tuesday night as Paris Saint-Germain secured a dramatic victory at Anfield. Despite winning the first leg 1-0 in Paris, the Reds could not capitalize on their lead, falling 1-0 regularly before losing in a tense penalty shootout.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot admitted his team "ran out of luck," especially after a dominant start in the opening 20 minutes. PSG capitalized on their opportunities, scoring the crucial goal that leveled the aggregate score. The match was then decided from the penalty spot, where Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones missed their attempts, while PSG converted all four of their kicks to seal their progression.
Reflecting on the loss, Slot expressed disappointment, stating that his team played an almost perfect game but struggled to find the back of the net. He compared their fate to PSG’s struggles in the first leg, where the French side dominated but failed to score.
With this defeat, Liverpool’s European dreams are over, while PSG advances to the next stage, keeping their Champions League hopes alive.
