Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the Champions League semifinals after dispatching Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield, completing a 4-0 aggregate victory. The Reds needed a monumental European comeback following their first-leg deficit in Paris, but their best chance evaporated when a second-half penalty shout was overturned by VAR.

Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé was the executioner, finally converting chances after missing several in both legs. The French forward broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute with a composed strike from the edge of the area, silencing the famed home support. His second goal arrived deep into added time, sealing the professional display from the visitors.

This result extends PSG’s impressive run, marking five consecutive Champions League knockout wins against English opposition, including last season’s victory over Liverpool. Defending champions PSG now prepare to face either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich for a chance to become only the second club in the modern era to defend the trophy, requiring Luis Enrique's side to maintain their formidable form.

Arne Slot’s Liverpool must now pivot their focus entirely to domestic matters, aiming for a top-five Premier League finish just to guarantee a return to this elite competition next year after a deeply frustrating European exit.
