For the second consecutive season, Liverpool's Champions League journey has been ended by Paris Saint-Germain, this time following a 2-0 defeat at Anfield that sealed a 4-0 aggregate loss. The Reds, under Arne Slot, faced a monumental task to overturn a two-goal first-leg deficit but were ultimately stifled by a clinical PSG performance.

The night was compounded by an early setback as striker Hugo Ekitike suffered a serious-looking injury, forcing him to be stretchered off in the first half. His replacement, Mohamed Salah, provided an immediate spark, with a dangerous cross leading to a vital last-ditch challenge from Marquinhos to deny Virgil van Dijk.

Despite periods of pressure, Liverpool struggled to break down a resolute PSG defense. The tie was effectively put to bed in the 72nd minute when Ousmane Dembélé fired a low strike past the keeper. The French winger then added a second in stoppage time, tapping in Bradley Barcola's cross to confirm the reigning champions' place in the semi-finals and cap a bitterly disappointing European exit for the Anfield faithful.
