00:00Full time here at Anfield, Liverpool's dream to win a big trophy this season are over because they are out of the Champions League after suffering defeats against PSG.
00:11In the last 16 of the competition, the tie went all the way to penalties. It couldn't be separated after 210 minutes of football.
00:20Liverpool took a 1-0 lead into the second leg here at Anfield after a smash-and-grab win in Paris last week.
00:27But their advantage was swiftly evaporated because Ousmane Dembele got PSG level.
00:34Liverpool made a good start to the game. Actually, Mo Salah had a couple of chances but PSG mustered a swift counter in the 12th minute.
00:42A bit of a gift from Dembele because he just got his clearance a little bit wrong.
00:47Maybe a bit of a miscommunication with Alisson potentially. Maybe should have put more pitches on the clearance or left Dembele to tap in.
00:55The game had to close. It was fairly entertaining. Liverpool got themselves into some decent positions.
01:03But Alisson Becker, like it is in the first leg, had parked the princes and made some fantastic saves to keep Liverpool in it.
01:11The second half, Liverpool really came alive. They had some big chances. They had a goal disallowed for offside from Dominic Soboszlaj.
01:18Djelovic wants to hit the post. They had the tails up. Liverpool just couldn't find any real killer moments.
01:25The game petered out and it went to extra time. Narbisar really threatens until that man Dembele has a chance quartered by Alisson again.
01:36The second half of extra time was pretty tepid. No one wants to throw too much at it.
01:43The game went to penalties and it was PSG who held the nerve. Liverpool made a lot of substitutes at this point.
01:51Mo Salah stuck home his penalty but Darwin Nunes and Curtis Jones both missed.
01:56PSG scored all four of theirs to go through and see Liverpool eliminated for the last 16.
02:03Disappointing for the Reds. They had been hoping to get through because it was a real chance.
02:09Playing Aston Villa or Club Brugger in the quarter-finals, likely to be Aston Villa.
02:15Liverpool have got to recover now because they've got a massive one on Sunday. Newcastle in the Carnaval Cup final.
02:21Liverpool have now got another injury out on their hands defensively because Trent Alexander-Arnold appeared to suffer an ankle injury.
02:29He had to come off in the second half and either he and Canarsie came off in extra time or it looked like cramp.
02:35Canarsie has had injury issues in the past so we'll have to see how he recovers from that one.
02:41All in all, just didn't do enough for Liverpool going forward tonight.
02:45There were some good performances, of course Alexis McAuliffe was excellent,
02:48Luis Diaz in the second half, Andy Robson, Stanislas, Canarsie, maybe the header was excellent.
02:55Not enough from the four players overall.
02:57Mo Salah pretty poor after the first half.
03:02Diogo Jota having a real tough spell and the substitutes Nunes and Gakko to contribute.
03:07It's 1-1 and I can put Liverpool up to the champions league on penalties and the PSG.
