Wednesday, April 15, 2026 - Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the Champions League semi-finals on Tuesday night, April 14 with a commanding 2-0 victory away to Liverpool, completing a 4-0 aggregate sweep.
The reigning European champions arrived at Anfield carrying
a two-goal cushion from the first leg and maintained professional composure
throughout a tense second leg to extinguish any hopes of a famous Liverpool
comeback.
The deadlock on the night was finally broken in the 72nd
minute when Ousmane Dembélé clinically put the visitors ahead, effectively
ending the contest as an aggregate spectacle.
Dembélé doubled his tally in stoppage time, capitalizing on
Liverpool's late desperation to wrap up a dominant team performance.
"We knew the atmosphere at Anfield would be difficult,
but we stayed focused on our game plan," Dembélé said following the
victory.
The result marks a disappointing exit for Arne Slot’s side,
who struggled to penetrate the disciplined PSG backline across both legs of the
tie.
With this victory, PSG continues their quest to defend their
European crown. They are now set to face the winner of the high-stakes
quarter-final between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
Having joined Atletico Madrid in the final four, the
Parisian giants remain the team to beat as the competition moves into its
penultimate stage.
