Liverpool Stun PSG with Late Winner in Champions League Thriller
What a night in Paris! Liverpool have pulled off an incredible 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, surviving an all-out assault from the French giants before snatching a late winner. It was a game where PSG dominated possession, created countless chances, and looked set to claim a comfortable win—but football doesn’t always work that way, does it?
From the first whistle, PSG came out flying. Their pressing was relentless, their attacks sharp, and Liverpool had their backs against the wall for most of the match. The Reds simply couldn’t find a rhythm, and their goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, had to produce save after save to keep them in the game. At one point, it felt like PSG scoring was inevitable. But as the minutes ticked away, their frustration grew, and Liverpool just needed one moment of magic.

And that moment arrived in the 87th minute. A long ball forward from Alisson found Darwin Núñez, who showed great composure to set up Harvey Elliott. The youngster, full of energy, latched onto the pass and coolly slotted the ball past Donnarumma to give Liverpool the lead completely against the run of play. The Parc des Princes fell silent, except for the wild celebrations in the away end.
PSG had no time to respond. They had done everything right for 86 minutes, but as Rio Ferdinand put it, “If you don’t take your chances, you get punished.” That’s exactly what happened. Liverpool may not have been at their best, but they showed the grit and resilience that make them such a dangerous team in Europe.
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s manager, admitted after the game that his team was fortunate. “We would have been lucky to get a draw,” he said. But that’s football. PSG boss Luis Enrique, on the other hand, was left frustrated, calling it "unfair" and admitting that Liverpool’s best player on the night was their goalkeeper. And honestly? He’s right. Alisson was simply world-class.
This result puts Liverpool in a strong position heading into the second leg at Anfield, where their home crowd will be ready to roar them into the quarter-finals. But make no mistake—this tie is far from over. PSG will come back fighting, and Liverpool will need to be ready. For now, though, it’s another famous European night for the Reds.
