Liverpool player ratings vs Paris Saint-Germain: Arne Slot gets it all wrong again! Coach's Alexander Isak gamble backfires badly as Hugo Ekitike's injury compounds a miserable Champions League exit for the Reds
Disastrous Night at Anfield
Liverpool's hopes of salvaging a shocking season were washed away on a miserable night on Merseyside on Tuesday evening, as an Ousmane Dembele double earned Paris Saint-Germain a 2-0 win at Anfield that saw Luis Enrique's men progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League 4-0 on aggregate.
Arne Slot's Tactical Gamble Backfires
As with the first leg at the Parc des Princes, Arne Slot got his starting line-up all wrong, with the Reds boss sensationally deciding to hand Alexander Isak his first start since recovering from a broken leg earlier this month. The Swede was inevitably a non-entity for the 45 minutes he lasted on the pitch and, to make matters worse, Liverpool lost Hugo Ekitike to a serious-looking injury during a tight and tense first half in which PSG dominated possession.
- PSG won 2-0 against Liverpool at Anfield.
- The win saw PSG progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League 4-0 on aggregate.
- Alexander Isak started for Liverpool after recovering from a broken leg.
