Outstanding performance
Paris Saint Germain•AttackerParis Saint-Germain delivered a commanding performance at the Parc des Princes to take control of this Champions League quarter-final first leg, dominating possession with 74% and restricting Liverpool to zero shots on target. Désiré Doué opened the scoring early with a well-taken finish after his initial effort was blocked, before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubled the advantage in the second half from close range. Liverpool's toothless attacking display saw them manage just three shots all evening while their goalkeeper was forced into four saves, highlighting PSG's clinical superiority. This comprehensive victory puts the French giants in the driving seat ahead of the return leg at Anfield, though Liverpool's pedigree in European comebacks means nothing is decided yet.
