PSG Vs Liverpool LIVE Score, UEFA Champions League: Desire Doue Gives Defending Champs Lead Against Reds

Seems like there's an injury worry for PSG with their marauding full-back Nuno Mendes going down. Worrying times for Enrique as he shouts "Lucas, Lucas!" Mendes is up and the break in play gives Slot to talk to his players.

Cameras pan to LFC manager Arne Slot and the Dutchman wears a worried look. Reports in England suggest that Slot could be sacked if he loses his QF match. Pressure is on the manager to deliver.

Reds have been caught in a trap so to say. PSG are known to suffocate their opponents in the midfield and seems like the last season's Premier League champions have been finding out.

Reds trail! Desire Doue with a curling effort and finds the back of the net. PSG's early dominance pays off as the Frenchman curls and Liverpool goalie cannot parry it away.

Early start and PSG are keeping the ball and Reds are happy to sit back. All the possession with the defending champs. Slot's tactics seem to be three at the back with two wing backs employed.

Minutes away from kick-off at the Parc des Princes now. Reds, who's boss Arne Slot is under-pressure, knows this is a big game tonight. Luis Enrique's side are favourites tonight, but never count out Liverpool.
