Liverpool are out of the Champions League.
The Reds were knocked out on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain after a deflating defeat at Anfield on Tuesday night.
To rub salt in the wounds for Arne Slot’s men, they lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to an ankle injury and had to come through a gruelling 120 minutes against the in-form side in Europe, just days before facing Newcastle United in the League Cup final at Wembley.

Fans fume at referee
Referee Istvan Kovacs was not a popular man at Anfield.
Nothing sinister to see here.
Donnarumma enrages Anfield
It is sod’s law that Gianluigi Donnarumma was PSG’s shootout hero at Anfield, saving from both Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones, after a rather shaky performance.
He was partly at fault for Harvey Elliott’s winner in Paris last week, and was unconvincing throughout in the 120 minutes on Tuesday night as he flapped at crosses and demonstrated the most erratic kicking under pressure.
While home supporters enjoyed his wayward passing, Liverpool were unable to take advantage.
The goalkeeper had the last laugh though, having successfully taken the sting out of the game before stepping up in the shoot-out.

Sulky Szoboszlai
Dominik Szoboszlai was replaced at half-time in extra-time, with it abundantly clear just how unimpressed the Hungarian was with Slot’s decision.
The midfielder was spotted shaking his head on the dugout after another lung-busting display.
While dealing a big blow to any individual hopes of Ballon d’Or glory, there also remains the possibility that he has now played his last Champions League match for the club - should he leave the club at the end of his contract
