PSG thumped Liverpool 4-1 in a penalty shoot-out to win an epic last-16 tie between the clubs
\n LIVERPOOL
\nParis Saint-Germain edged past Liverpool in a dramatic penalty shoot-out to reach the Champions League quarter-finals after Ousmane Dembele\u2019s early goal at Anfield cancelled out their first-leg deficit.
\nTrailing 1-0 from last week\u2019s first leg in Paris, PSG levelled the tie on aggregate thanks to Ousmane Dembele\u2019s early strike at Anfield.
\nThere were plenty of chances but no further goals at the end of 90 minutes or extra time, taking the tie to a shoot-out.
\nPSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma then performed heroics by saving penalties from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones, while all four of the away side\u2019s kicks were converted by Vitinha, Goncalo Ramos, Dembele and Desire Doue.
\nThe French champions, who have never won the competition, now advance to a quarter-final tie next month against either Aston Villa or Club Brugge.
\nVilla host the Belgian side on Wednesday and lead 3-1 from the first leg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
