The soon-to-be Premier League champions and Carabao Cup finalists have been knocked out of the Champions League following a heart-wrenching penalty shoot-out loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

Luis Enrique's squad could consider themselves incredibly unlucky to be down 1-0 due to Harvey Elliott's last-minute goal from the first leg at the Parc des Princes.

The Ligue 1 leaders kept their cool, converting all four of their penalties to secure a 4-1 victory, with Liverpool substitutes Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones failing to find the net.



That it was Paris Saint-Germain, not Liverpool, owed as much to their powers of resilience as anything else - not a quality associated with them in the past - and also the sharp reflexes of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

"The goalkeeper, England's nemesis when the Euro 2020 final came down to penalties, thwarted Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones during a nerve-shredding shoot-out and, with PSG faultless with all four of their spot-kicks, it was they who moved into the Champions League quarter-finals.

A change in personnel, who can add a ruthless edge, is likely to be needed."

Sam Wallace, in the Telegraph, writes: "Top of the Champions League in January, out by mid-March - Liverpool were dispatched in a penalty shoot-out at the wrong end of Anfield, their nerve finally failing at precisely the moment this club has so often triumphed.

"Paris St-Germain won the toss at the end of a high-quality 120 minutes and took Liverpool down to the Anfield Road end where the visitors had their supporters.

The Kop watched aghast as first Darwin Nunez and then Curtis Jones had their penalties saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Italian who was the scourge of England at Euro 2020.

Paul Gorst, writing for the ECHO, noted: "It was substitutes Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones who missed the decisive penalties for Slot's men and no blame should be attributed to either for those pressured kicks, but the former struggled following his introduction for Diogo Jota, who once more toiled himself against the PSG defense.
