Liverpool survived a siege of pressure in Paris on Wednesday night when the Reds escaped with a 1-0 victory in the first section of their last 16 clashes with PSG after a Harvey Elliott Smash and Grab.
Despite assaulting the champions's league phase, Liverpool was subjected to PSG, and with three minutes to play seemed to return to the Anfield level.
The tie had been announced as a clash that could be decided by Mohamed Salah and Ousmane Dembele, who have been impressive for their respective sides this season.
But within 47 seconds of entering the fray, Elliott ended up under the lower corner through a Gianluigi Donnarumma glove to ensure a great victory for Arne Slot and company with his first touch since he arrived.
In addition to having 10 shots in the target, Khvicha Kvarathskhelia had a goal not allowed in the first half, but despite dominating the draw, the PSG is left behind with everything in the return section in Anfield.
Here, Lewis Steele de Mail Sport directs the rule on the exhibition stars in the Parc des princes, highlighting who impressed more and who leaves the French capital knowing that they could have offered something else.
Harvey Elliott scored a sensational late goal to steal a 1-0 for Liverpool against PSG
At 47 seconds from entering the fray from the bank, Elliott had scored the winner for his team
KHVICHA KVARATSKHELIA had seen a goal not allowed in the first half on a frustrating night for the PSG
Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-3)
Gianluigi Donnarumma – 6
He had nothing to do in the first half, since Liverpool gathered zero shots in the goal.
He made a good interception for a long and worrying ball above. I should have done it better with the objective of Elliott.
Achraf Hakimi – 6.5
He often offered an exit ball for teammates and did a good job in Díaz going to the other side.
Marquinhos – 7 (reserved)
The 30 -year -old pattern showed his experience to guide a very young team through this hard test. He left on almost all the battle he had with Jota.
Gianluigi Donnarumma had a quiet first half, but he should have done it better for Elliott's late goal
Marquinhos brilliantly guided his young team through the draw and Domino Diogo Jota
Willian Pacho – 7.5
The Ecuadorian center was positive in possession and did its defensive job. I made two big cups in Salah when Liverpool began to threaten more after the brand of the hour.
Nuno Mendes – 7.5
A loose touch early doors, but kept Salah very quiet in general. A very nice performance.
Joao Neves – 7.5
I had a glorious opportunity to open the score in the first half, but shot. He built and was always available to receive the ball.
Vitinha – 8
A titanic performance of Little Lad in the center of the field for Paris Saint-Germain. Always playing positive passes, he never stopped running and seemed to appear everywhere.
Vitinha performed a titanic performance in the midfield for the PSG, and was positive when it was in possession
Fabian Ruiz – 7.5
He had the best of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister and was another relaxing presence in the center of the PSG field.
Bradley Barcola – 7.5
He had bad luck on several occasions and the 22-year-old caused all kinds of problems for Alexander-Arnold and Co. A great perspective.
Ousmane Dembele – 6
He destroyed Robertson with an early race, but he was quiet otherwise and would have liked to have more space to explode.
KHVICHA KVARATSKHELIA – 7.5
The impressive strike was attributed to the offside, but a brilliant exhibition otherwise, always creating danger.
Ousmane Dembele had a calm night despite destroying Andy Robertson from the beginning
Substitutes:
Desire Doue (for Barcola, 66min) – 6
Goncalo Ramos (for Kvarathskhelia, 78min) – N / A
Walter Zaire -emery (for Ruiz, 78min) – N / A
Subbong: Safnov, Tenas, Hernández, Committee, Lie Kaang-In, Mayu, Mabye.
Manager:
Luis Enrique – 7.5
Better to finish and his team could have put this tie to bed. Instead, they go to Anfield with a small mountain to climb.
Luis Enrique's side would have put this draw to bet on the first leg, but for his innovative steel
Liverpool (4-2-3-1)
Alisson – 9.5
Does anyone still doubt that Alisson is the best goalkeeper in the world? If so, look at this game.
Without Brazil no 1, Liverpool would have been dead and buried for part time.
Trent Alexander -arnold – 5
He struggled to impact the game on a sense of attack and barcole beat him going to the other side.
Ibrahima Konate – 8
Some can say that he was lucky to avoid a red card to push Barcola when the last man back, but Konate was excellent otherwise, making some large blocks.
Alisson reaffirmed his credentials as the best goalkeeper in the world against the PSG
Virgil van Dijk – 7 (reserved)
The captain's leadership was necessary since the PSG flooded Liverpool with an attack after attack.
Andy Robertson – 5
I had a difficult night against Kvarathskhelia and when Dembele went to his side.
Ryan Gravenberch – 5
Vitinha, Fabian and Neves did not give Gravenber a second of peace. He loves to play halfway, but it was simply not allowed.
Alexis Mac Allister – 7
An implacable corridor and a Liverpool press led, but often could not approach the center of the PSG multifaceted field.
Mohamed Salah – 6
I had to feed on remains and see little of the ball in the opening stages.
Dominik Szoboszlai – 6
An important player for Liverpool and perhaps his best player in the last month, but not his best night here. However, he never stopped working outside the ball.
Luis Díaz – 6
If I had some unfortunate moments when a better touch would have been needed. Put in a solid change going to the other side.
Diogo Jota – 6
It is not a good night for the Portuguese no 9. He has had some views of the ball and could have carried a counterattack, but the touch has often disappointed it
Substitutes:
Curtis Jones (for Jota, 67min) – 6
Darwin Núñez (for Díaz, 67min) – 7.5
Wataru Endo (for Gravenberch, 78min) – N / A
Harvey Elliott (for Salah, 86min) – N / A
Not used: Kelleher, Jaros, Chiesa, Tsimikas, McConnell, Quansah, Nyoni.
Manager:
ARNE slot – 8
He said his team would have to suffer and what they did that. A strong defensive exhibition and obtained their rewards at the end.
Referee:
Davide Massa (Italy) – 6
Some large -early calls, even not to send Konate for a push in Barcola.
