Liverpool crashed out of UCL after penalty shootout loss

The French giants overturned a first-leg deficit and, despite withstanding an onslaught from the home side in regulation time, held on to take the game into extra time and eventually penalties.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
In a tense shootout, Nunez was one of two Liverpool players, alongside Curtis Jones, who saw their efforts denied by PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, which proved to be decisive. As Nunez stood visibly distraught after his failed spot-kick, the majority of Liverpool players rushed to console him. However, Salah was noticeably absent from the group, instead standing alone on the halfway line with a stern expression and hands on his hips.
As the final whistle confirmed Liverpool’s elimination, Salah could be seen with tears in his eyes. However, he will need to quickly recover from the Champions League heartbreak as the Reds now turn their attention to Sunday’s Carabao Cup final at Wembley, where they will face Newcastle United in their first shot at silverware this season.
