Liverpool did one of the most dramatic smash-and-grab victories in the history of the Champions League after beating French giant Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their last-16 battle despite being subdued throughout the game.

PSG grabbed the possession and took charge of the match with 27 total shots, making Alisson Becker, Liverpool’s goalkeeper, make nine important saves.

PSG failed to convert the chances and the home advantage to grab three points in the match as Liverpool did a late effort with their second shot of the game after the 86th minute of the match.

Substitute Harvey Elliott, who came into the game as a replacement for Egypt talisman Mohamed Salah, scored with his first touch through a fine pass he received from Darwin Nunez. The goal destabilized PSG as the team under manager Luis Enrique struggled to understand how they could not net a goal despite their effort.

Liverpool owe the game to their goalkeeper Alisson for his crucial saves.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé did an outstanding performance as Kvaratskhelia scored a first-half goal that was ruled out for offside after a VAR check. Controversy ensued after Ibrahima Konaté avoided a red card, pushing his opponent Bradley Barcola outside the penalty box.

Liverpool is now expected to take advantage of the second leg in Anfield to seal their progress, which will be played next week Tuesday.
