Liverpool enjoyed one of their best away European results in recent memory on Wednesday after pulling off a smash-and-grab win against PSG.
For perhaps the first time this season, the Reds had gone into the game as second favourites.
PSG had been in ridiculously good form heading into the match, winning 10 in a row and blitzing goal after goal.
And for 86 minutes, that’s exactly how things played out.
Alisson Becker had to be at his best as the French champions reigned shots in on his goal.
Somehow, Alisson kept them out, and with just three minutes left on the clock, substitute Harvey Elliott won the match for Liverpool with his very first touch.
It was a huge moment for Elliott who has often been overlooked by Arne Slot this season.
And once the final whistle sounded, the 21-year-old was seen enjoying the moment with the travelling Liverpool fans.

In another life, Elliott would have been in the stands, not on the pitch for Liverpool last night.
The former Fulham man is about as big a Reds as they come, having travelled to European games with his dad in his youth.

As a result, his goal on Wednesday will have meant that little bit more to him than had it been scored by any other member of the Liverpool squad.
It has been a difficult season for Elliott, with the youngster not having too much to celebrate about while sitting on the bench for large chunks.

But having been the unlikely winner in Paris, Elliott was spotted taking in his moment in a video from Liverpool’s official X account after Wednesday’s game.
With much of the home crowd deserted, the away section remains full and in good voice as Kostas Tsimikas pushes Elliott towards them.
All alone with his adoring public, the No.19 pumps his fists and claps, to huge cheers from the Liverpool support.
As well as being a big moment in the context of this last-16 Champions League tie, Elliott’s goal was enormous for Harvey personally.
There have been rumours that Elliott could be sold this summer after not being able to break into Slot’s plans.

As a result, getting the goal on Wednesday will hopefully serve as a shot in the arm to the rest of his season.
And although minutes have been hard to come by in the Premier League in particular, the Champions League has been a bit of a sanctuary for Elliott this term.
His strike at the Parc des Princes was his third goal in only his fourth appearance in the competition this season.
With four goals in 18 games in all competitions, Elliott has now matched his haul from 53 matches last year.
