Liverpool 0 PSG 1 (1-1 agg, 1-4 pens): Donnarumma’s shootout heroics seal dramatic win

PSG had the advantage of taking their penalties in front of their own fans at the Anfield Road end, giving them a psychological edge heading into the shootout.

Vitinha was the first to step up for Luis Enrique’s side, confidently slotting past Alisson after a composed, stuttered run-up.

Liverpool turned to their penalty specialist, Mohamed Salah, who made no mistake, firing to Donnarumma’s right with precision.

Next, Gonçalo Ramos, introduced in the final minute of extra time, calmly rolled his penalty low to Alisson’s right.

Then, the tide shifted against Liverpool. Darwin Núñez, struggling with luck all season, struck his penalty well, but Donnarumma guessed correctly, making a crucial save to his left.

Ousmane Dembélé then produced the best finish of the night, rifling his shot into the top-right corner. Liverpool’s Curtis Jones followed, aiming low to his left, but Donnarumma’s strong right hand denied him, keeping PSG in control.

With the decisive kick, Désiré Doué smashed his penalty home, sealing PSG’s place in the quarterfinals and silencing Anfield.

Heading into the match, Liverpool had won four of their last five penalty shootouts in European competition. Now, that record stands at four out of six.
