'Same script, different day' as Reds exit Champions League
Paris St-Germain advanced in the Champions League after beating Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield and 4-0 on aggregate. It was a game in which Liverpool had to go into having some hope. You didn't have to think Liverpool were going to win the game but you certainly had to hope that maybe, just maybe, under the lights at Anfield something special could happen.
[BBC] Paris St-Germain advanced in the Champions League after beating Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield and 4-0 on aggregate. It was a game in which Liverpool had to go into having some hope. You didn't have to think Liverpool were going to win the game but you certainly had to hope that maybe, just maybe, under the lights at Anfield something special could happen.
It's fair to say for the first 45 minutes Liverpool were just not good enough. Liverpool didn't show up. There were individuals who were getting bullied.
PSG are a really good side and they took control of that first half. The Reds had the big chance in it - Virgil van Dijk having one basically cleared off the line by Marquinhos, which, wow, what a block - but aside from that, it was all PSG. PSG had chances.
PSG were finding so much space so easily. And getting in at half-time at 0-0, I wasn't too against it because of the way we showed up. We didn't use the crowd from the off like we should have done.
