Virgil van Dijk highlights 'the only positive' after Liverpool dominated by PSG in Champions League quarter-final
Liverpool Suffer Disappointing Defeat in Paris
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has offered a frank assessment of his side's disappointing performance following a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The Reds were left with a significant mountain to climb in their Champions League quarter-final after goals from Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia secured a commanding first-leg lead for the French giants.
PSG Dominate with Clinical Finishing
Liverpool struggled to find their footing in the French capital as Arne Slot's tactical gamble failed to nullify a dominant PSG. The Reds spent the majority of the evening defending deep, unable to find a rhythm or exploit the few counter-attacking opportunities that fell their way. The deadlock was eventually broken by a Desire Doue strike, before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubled the advantage to leave the visitors reeling.
