Arne Slot's side were eliminated from Europe's premier club tournament following a penalty shootout, which saw the Parisians qualify for the quarter-finals, after a 1-1 aggregate score. Ousmane Dembele scored the only goal on the night to cancel out Harvey Elliott's effort in the first leg, despite a strong start from Liverpool. Despite the Reds' dominant display in the second half, they failed to equalise, and the match went to extra time and then to the dreaded penalty shootout. Shot-stopper Alisson was unable to offer a save against each of Vitinha, Goncalo Ramos, Dembele and Desire Doue, ultimately leading to a 4-1 loss following Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones' missed attempts. However, several Liverpool fans were quick to take on social media to express their fury with the Parisians supporters' tactics when someone from the stands was equipped with a megaphone, trying to distract Slot's men.
