PSG Dominates but Liverpool Strikes Late to Win at Parc des Princes
Paris, March 5, 2025 – Paris Saint-Germain dominated possession and chances, but a late goal by Harvey Elliott gave Liverpool a 1-0 victory in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie at the Parc des Princes. The match, refereed by Davide Massa of Italy, was characterized by PSG’s complete control, generating 27 shots, 10 on target, and 13 corners. However, a lack of clinical finishing and a resolute Liverpool defense kept the score at 0-0 until the 87th minute, when Elliott, assisted by Núñez, scored the only goal of the game. Earlier, Kvaratskhelia had a goal disallowed for offside for PSG, and Marquinhos received a yellow card. For Liverpool, Van Dijk also received a yellow card. Despite PSG’s overwhelming statistical superiority (72% possession compared to Liverpool’s 28%), the English team’s effectiveness in attack proved decisive. The second leg promises to be a thrilling encounter.
