Liverpool Edges PSG with Late Elliott Goal in Champions League Thriller
Harvey Elliott's 87th-minute strike and Alisson's heroic goalkeeping secured a narrow 1-0 victory for Liverpool in Paris despite PSG's dominance.
- Liverpool managed only two shots, with Harvey Elliott scoring the decisive goal just seconds after coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute.
- Goalkeeper Alisson produced a standout performance, making multiple crucial saves to deny PSG's relentless attacks, including efforts from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé.
- PSG dominated the match with 27 shots and 66% possession but failed to capitalize on their chances, including a disallowed goal by Kvaratskhelia for a marginal offside.
- Liverpool's defensive adjustments during the match helped limit PSG's space after a one-sided first half, though the team's overall performance was uncharacteristically passive.
- The second leg at Anfield next week remains open, with PSG needing to overturn the deficit while Liverpool holds the advantage from their away victory.
