Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones were the unlucky duo to miss in front of the Anfield Road end, but across the two games, it is fair to say that the Ligue 1 leaders deserved to go through.

Ally McCoist revealed that he had no confidence in Nunez as the striker walked up to take his penalty, which is how many felt inside Anfield.

Had the Uruguayan slotted his kick home, Liverpool may have been able to take the shootout to the crucial final kick, and Harvey Elliott has revealed which member of the squad was set to take it.

When it comes to shootouts, the final penalty taker is often the best one in the team or a superstar ready to have his name spread across the back pages.

On Tuesday, Mohamed Salah did the right thing by going first as that gives confidence to the rest of the team ready to step up after the Egyptian superstar.

This left many wondering who the fifth taker would have been if the shootout came down to it and Elliott has shared that information.

Speaking in an interview with The Anfield Wrap, the 21-year-old stated that he was the player penned in to take the fifth penalty, which shows the confidence the midfielder had after scoring in the first leg.

Jamie Carragher has stated that Arne Slot doesn’t trust Elliott this season, which is evident in the number of minutes the 21-year-old has received, but the Dutch coach did for this crucial moment.

Had he missed, the Liverpool star shared that he would have wanted his teammates around him, which is the support the youngster has shown both Nunez and Jones.

Although most of the focus has been around Nunez, Elliott has shared that Jones was angry with himself after his penalty miss against PSG, however, the Liverpool squad has not put any blame on the Reds duo.

“We’re a team.

It’s everyone’s fault,” Elliott told The Anfield Wrap.
