After a show of strength a week ago at home and a more than logical success (2-0), PSG did not experience the same tranquillity on Tuesday, April 14, on Anfield’s turf. The men of Luis Enrique, who were returning to the place of their suspenseful qualification last season in the round of 16 (0-1, 0-1 (4 penalty shootouts), needed a great Safonov in goal and an inspired Dembele in the second half to make the difference (2-0 victory) and secure their place in the Champions League semi-finals.
