PSG dominated the primary leg and might be desperate for some revenge tonight, resting almost their entire first-team against Rennes on the weekend. Liverpool, meanwhile, were made to fight for his or her win over Southampton, coming from behind to maintain their healthy lead at the highest of English football.

‘Dembele has been outstanding!’
High praise for goalscorer Dembele from Paul Merson on Sky Sports just now.

Arne Slot’s face says all of it…
Probability for Kvaratskhelia!
PSG are really pushing here… This time, Barcola sets up Kvaratskhelia, who’s denied by a vital Van Dijk deflection.
‘If it doesn’t get a deflection, it probably goes in!’ Paul Merson said on Sky Sports.
PSG lead 1-0 within the second leg with 37 minutes played at Anfield. 1-1 on aggregate.
Probability for Dembele!
Wow. Dembele is one-on-one with Alisson but takes a heavy touch and wastes the chance to place the visitors 2-0 up…
PSG growing in confidence
Liverpool enjoyed the stronger start but it surely’s been end-to-end stuff since PSG’s Twelfth-minute goal.
‘You’re taking a look at Liverpool they usually’ve created opportunities, but there’s that feeling of PSG on the break,’ Stephen Warnock told the BBC.
Probabilities for either side!
This game is being played at one million miles per hour in the mean time. Either side have had significant possibilities because the goal.
Diaz hammered a shot over before Konate had a go for the house side. Barcola then has a giant opportunity to make it 2-0 but is denied by Alisson. Jota heads over shortly afterwards.
