81 min: PSG substitution Lucas Beraldo replaces Warren Zaire-Emery.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n 81 min Dembele has a shot blocked by Konate after an almsot leisurely five-on-three break. Liverpool<\/a> go down the other end and Marquinhos takes the ball off Jones\u2019s toe in the area. Superb defending.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 80 min Gravenberch controls Ngumoha\u2019s pass on the run but shoots well wide from 25 yards.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 78 min The night\u2019s other quarter-final still has plenty of jeopardy, since you asked.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 77 min Barring an unprecedented comeback from Liverpool<\/a>, PSG will meet Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in a semi-final that is not so much mouth-watering as mouth-drowning.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 75 min Almost a second for PSG. Dembele dances around Marmardashvili in a crowded penalty area, then Konate hacks a clearance that hits Mamardashvili and rebounds to safety.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 74 min: Liverpool<\/a> substitution Curtis Jones is on for Alexis Mac Allister.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Barcola and Kvaratskhelia combined on the left side of the area before Kvaratskhelia clipped a pass into Dembele on the edge of the D. He dummied Mac Allister by shaping to shoot with his right foot, then moved onto his left and swept a precise curler into the corner. That\u2019s a lovely goal.<\/p>\n Ousmane Dembele of Paris Saint-Germain scores the opening goal.

Liverpool 0-1 Paris Saint-Germain (agg: 0-3; Dembele 73)<\/p>\n A touch of class from Ousmane Dembele puts PSG into the semi-finals!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 71 min Ngumoha forces a smart save from Safonov with a cracking low drive from the edge of the area. Safonov dived low to his left and held on at the second attempt. This kid is preposterously good.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.36 EDT<\/p>\n 69 min \u201cI think we can all agree that we know exactly why VAR overturned that penalty and that VAR enhances the whole football experience,\u201d weeps Niall Mullen.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.34 EDT<\/p>\n 68 min Ngumoha wins a corner with his first touch. It\u2019s headed on and wide of the near post by Mac Allister.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 67 min: Liverpool<\/a> substitution Rio Ngumoha becomes the second youngest player to appear in the knockout stage of this competition, presumably after Lamine Yamal. He\u2019s on for Joe Gomez, which means Szoboszlai will move to right-back.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>66 min: No penalty to Liverpool!<\/p>\n I\u2019m surprised that was overturned, even though it would have been a soft penalty.<\/p>\n Referee Maurizio Mariani signals that he\u2019s changed his mind. Photograph: Dave Shopland\/APShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.39 EDT<\/p>\n 65 min: The referee is going to the monitor! Blimey.<\/p>\n Referee Maurizio Mariani checks out the replay on his monitor.

He got between man and ball, felt a bit of contact from behind and took the invitation to visit the grass. I don\u2019t think this will be overturned. It was smart play from Mac Allister.<\/p>\n Alexis Mac Allister of Liverpool takes a tumble after a challenge by Willian Pacho of Paris Saint-Germain. Photograph: Carl Recine\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.35 EDT<\/p>\n 63 min Gravenberch has a pop from the left edge of the area. Safonov falls to his right to make a comfortable save.<\/p>\n It looks like Rio Ngumoha is about to come on. I knew Arne Slot read this nonsense.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 63 min Gakpo, a player who isn\u2019t to everybody\u2019s taste, has looked sharp since coming on. I still think Arne Slot is missing a trick by not introducing Rio Ngumoha.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 62 min \u201cHello Rob,\u201d writes K\u00e1ri Tulinius. \u201cIf we\u2019re on the subject of today, the fourteenth of April is Ruination Day, as laid out by Gillian Welch in the two-part song<\/a> April 14th and Ruination Day on her masterpiece Time (the Revelator). Let\u2019s hope this match isn\u2019t added to a list of calamities which includes the murder of Abraham Lincoln and the sinking of the Titanic.\u201d<\/p>\n I know the twins could be quite annoying in Darling Buds but it\u2019s a bit harsh dragging them into Ruination Day. I prefer to think of Aphex Twin.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 60 min PSG break three on two, but Dembele goes a fraction too early and is offside before finding Hakimi on the far side. The attack is allowed to play out and Mamardashvili makes an excellent stop from Hakimi.<\/p>\n Paris Saint-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi (right ) is thwarted by Liverpool’s keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili as Milos Kerkez looks on.

Kerkez runs onto it and clips a slightly indecisive cross-shot wide of goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 55 min Gravenberch charges to the edge of the D and sprays a shot that fades a few yards wide of the right-hand post. Liverpool<\/a> are having a decent spell.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 53 min Wirtz plays an excellent return pass into the area for Salah, whose heavy touch allows Pacho to come across and make a good tackle.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 52 min: Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> substitution Bradley Barcola replaces Desire Doue.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.17 EDT<\/p>\n 51 min Desire Doue is down and will need to come off. He was eased onto the running track by Szoboszlai and has hurt his ankle.<\/p>\n The weather at Anfield is biblical.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 49 min Gakpo scrunches a drive from 20 yards that is palmed round the post by Safonov. Salah\u2019s corner is headed over at the near post by Gomez; half a chance.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 46 min Peep peep!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Half-time substitution Liverpool<\/a> are making a double change, but it doesn\u2019t involve Rio Ngumoha. Joe Gomez and Cody Gakpo are on for Jeremie Frimpong and Alexander Isak.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool slightly better than expected, PSG not quite as good as expected,\u201d writes Chris Healy .\u201dThinking Liverpool<\/a> are going to need to score from a set piece because they haven\u2019t really troubled PSG\u2019s back line from open play.<\/p>\n \u201cRobertson\u2019s experience and Ngumoha\u2019s trickery would be very welcome in the second half because Kerkez keeps giving it away and Isak needs it put on a plate for him. Fingers crossed Liverpool can raise their bar after the break.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cSad for Slot that his brainiac approach has not suited any of the players,\u201d writes Ian Copestake. \u201cHe may as well give the crowd what it wants and unleash the Rio grande.\u201d<\/p>\n He really should. If Liverpool<\/a> are going to turn this round, they need to get the crowd going. Ngumoha would do that with one run.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n We\u2019ve just seen a replay of Hugo Ekitike\u2019s injury. He hurt his right ankle after slipping and looked stunned as he started to register the pain and process what had happened. Sad to say, it looks serious.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Half-time entertainment<\/p>\n On this day in 1999, the greatest FA Cup semi-final of them all took place.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s strange,\u201d begins Matt Dony. \u201cWe\u2019ve talked so much this season about the effect Diogo Jota\u2019s loss might have had on the team, and yet I still think we\u2019re underestimating the impact. As fans, it hit us hard. I remember feeling almost guilty for having such a sense of loss, when really, I had no connection to him<\/a>. But at the same time, as fans, we enjoy a measure of distance that makes it easier to move on. I have very few reminders of that loss in my daily life, so it\u2019s not something I have cause think about much.<\/p>\n \u201cA few years ago, however, I lost a close friend in work in horrendous circumstances. The business moved on, I continued working, but that man\u2019s name was all over files and documents I would regularly open. He was replaced, but every time I walked into his old office, I saw him at the desk. And it all affected me. For years. I don\u2019t mean I was an inconsolable, mourning wreck for all of that time, but the reminders were there and I would have to just take a beat. He was on my mind. I was affected by it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s plain to see that Liverpool<\/a> have underperformed for much of the season. I don\u2019t presume to know how they\u2019re feeling or to make excuses for them. It\u2019s madness, though, to ignore the shadow cast over the season, or to think that they\u2019ve should have put it behind them somehow.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Half time: Liverpool 0-0 Paris Saint-Germain (agg: 0-2)<\/p>\n The European champions kept Liverpool<\/a> at arm\u2019s length during an impressive first-half performance. There was only one close shave, when Matvei Safonov made a terrific save from Milos Kerkez and Marquinhos did superbly to stop Virgil van Dijk scoring from the rebound.<\/p>\n Hugo Ekitike was stretchered off in worrying circumstances after slipping with nobody near him, while Alexander Isak had little to work with. Right now PSG look comfortable, but a goal would change everything.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45+3 min \u201cAs a card carrying member of the Discourse,\u201d begins Mark, \u201c I can tell you that by end of January of, Liverpool weren\u2019t even in the top half of teams mostg affected by injuries this seaso<\/a>n.\u201d<\/p>\n Like Morrissey said, some injuries are bigger than others. In 1997-98, for example, Manchester United were without both Roy Keane and Terry Cooke for the majority of the season. You might be right about Liverpool<\/a> but I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s so easily quantifiable.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45+2 min Mac Allister is booked for a foul on Joao Neves. He was on a yellow card, which means that one way or another, he will miss the first leg of the semi-final.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45+1 min Four minutes of added time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45 min Liverpool want but don\u2019t get a foul when Salah goes over the D. Pacho leaned into him after originally letting the ball run under his foot. Could have gone either way.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 43 min Vitinha plays a terrific pass to the overlapping Hakimi, whose low cross towards Dembele is crucially intercepted at the near post by Konate.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 42 min A deliciously silky PSG move falls down when Kvaratskhelia tries to change direction to receive Vitinha\u2019s pass and loses his footing.<\/p>\n Moments later, Vitinha shoots straight at Mamarashvili from distance. PSG have regained control of the game; the relaxed rhythm of their passing and movement is low-level awesome.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 38 min: PSG substitution Nuno Mendes is injured and needs to leave the field. Lucas Hernandez replaces him at left-back.<\/p>\n Incidentally, it is pelting down at Anfield.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 37 min Possession percentage: Liverpool<\/a> 39-61 PSG. But Liverpool are having a decnet spell as we approach half-time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 35 min Fun fact: on this day 35 years ago, ITV aired the second-ever episode of Darling Buds of May.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 34 min \u201cSlot has made too many mistakes to count this season but he has been cursed by injuries,\u201d says Niall Mullen.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not sure The Discourse has space for such nuance any more.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 31 min: Chance for Liverpool! Marquinhos screams in triumph after denying Liverpool<\/a> a goal. Salah\u2019s first touch was a dangerous inswinging cross towards the far post that Kerkez met on the half-volley Safonov changed direction to make an outstanding save low to his left, but the ball ran loose in front of a largely open goal. Van Dijk looked set to score from four yards until Marquinhos took ball and man with a sensational tackle.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.39 EDT<\/p>\n 30 min: Liverpool<\/a> substitution Ekitike has both hands on his head as he is stretchered off the field. He doesn\u2019t look in agony but the body language of those near him, players and medical staff, suggest it\u2019s a serious injury. Mo Salah replaces him.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 29 min A stretcher is being brought onto the field and Mo Salah is preparing to come on. There\u2019s a fair bit of concern on the faces of both the Liverpool<\/a> and PSG players.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.32 EDT<\/p>\n 28 min Ekitike is down and looks in a significant pain. It\u2019s a rainy night at Anfield and he slipped with nobody near him. This doesn\u2019t look great.<\/p>\n Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike looks to be in a bit of pain as Alexander Isak and a couple of PSG players check on him. Photograph: Jon Super\/APShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.48 EDT<\/p>\n 25 min Dembele\u2019s excellent cross\/pass from the right finds Doue in a peedie bit of space at the far post \u2013 but he decides to take a touch and leaves the ball behind. If he had the chance again he might wallop a first-time shot on the bounce.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n There\u2019s been another goal in Madrid. Here\u2019s some bait. Would you like to click it?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 22 min Safonov makes a fine one-on-one save from Isak, though the flag went up for offside after the event. Even so, that was more encouraging for Liverpool: a surge through midfield from Gravenberch and an Ian Rush-like run behind the defence from Isak.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 20 min Kvaratskhelia is holding his coupon after a collision with Van Dijk\u2019s stiff arm. It looked accidental.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 19 min \u201cLiverpool fans cheering half challenges that don\u2019t quite win the ball back reminds me of Petey\u2019s recital in American Pie 2<\/a>,\u201d writes Niall Mullen.<\/p>\n [NB: Clip may well contain adult themes and\/or language. I mean, it\u2019s three minutes long and it\u2019s from American Pie 2, so there\u2019s a fair chance.]<\/p>\n
