Harvey Elliott’s strike gave Liverpool a remarkable 1-0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of her Champions League tie.
In the first half, the hosts dominated the red absolutely dominant, which rarely destroyed more this season. PSG produced a flood of opportunities, but could not end any of them, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelias slightly offside the exertion of Var to an opportunity to beat the French giants.
Liverpool was lucky enough to enter the break with level terms and equally lucky to have their full quota on the field. Ibrahima Konate could easily have been sent to the last man by Bradley Barcola, but Var decided against sending referees Davide Massa into the monitor when the visitors of Arne Slot breathed an enormous sigh of relief.
PSG continued to put Liverpool under immense pressure after the restart, but her extraordinary attack game was matched by the brilliant Alisson with a series of breathtaking parades to refuse the hosts.
Liverpool seemed to be happy to accept the goalless draw, but Elliott rose from the bank and slipped beyond Gianluigi Donnarumma to secure an extremely important victory before the second leg of the next week in Anfield.
