The penalty for failing to make home superiority count was ultimately paid by Liverpool. Arne Slot’s side delivered the improvement he promised but to no avail as Paris Saint-Germain advanced into the Champions League quarter-finals with a flawless penalty shootout. Gianluigi Donnarumma, the man who broke English hearts in the 2020 European Championship final shoot-out, proved the big man for the big occasion once again.
The Italy international saved from Darwin Núñez and Curtis Jones in the penalty shootout after Ousmane Dembélé’s winner in normal time had levelled the tie on aggregate. Mohamed Salah was the only Liverpool player to convert a spot-kick. Vitinha, brilliant all night, Gonçalo Ramos, Dembele and finally Désiré Doué made no mistake against Alisson.
