Liverpool shocked PSG in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with a dramatic 1-0 win.
Despite being dominated throughout the match, with PSG registering 27 shots and Liverpool managing only two, the Reds stole a win thanks to a late goal by Harvey Elliott.

With just three minutes left on the clock, Harvey Elliott scored the only goal of the game after being subbed on for Mohamed Salah.
Darwin Núñez assisted Elliott, whose first-time strike deflected off PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma but found the net.

The hosts’ inability to convert their dominance into goals will be a major talking point.
PSG’s Control, Liverpool’s Resilience
Despite controlling 70% possession and having numerous chances, including a disallowed Kvaratskhelia goal, PSG failed to score.
Liverpool’s resilience in soaking up pressure and exploiting the few opportunities they had was key to their victory.
The result leaves Liverpool in a strong position going into the second leg, set to take place at Anfield next Tuesday. PSG will have to produce a miracle to overturn the deficit.
