Jamie Carragher on Liverpool’s win over PSG: ‘One of the biggest robberies.’ | OneFootball

“We were better than Liverpool – far better! But they won the game. That’s very unfair,” analysed Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique following his side’s loss to Liverpool. Jamie Carragher, speaking on CBS Sports Golazo, employed more extreme words to describe the turn of events at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.

PSG dominated Liverpool in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie. However, despite 27 shots on the night, including nine on target, they could not beat Alisson, who admitted to TNT Sports post-match that he had perhaps played the best match of his entire career.

Having kept his side level with a string of high-class saves, Liverpool snatched the win late on with Harvey Elliott tucking into the far corner in the 87th minute, just seconds after coming off the bench. Liverpool therefore return for the second leg at Anfield next week with a one-goal advantage to protect.

However, their former defender, Carragher, believes that Arne Slot’s side were incredibly lucky to get a result at the Parc. “That is one of the biggest robberies you will ever see in football. I can’t believe what I have just seen. PSG were absolutely outstanding, they battered Liverpool,” said Carragher during CBS Sport’s coverage of the game. The stats attest to his assessment. PSG struck a bullish tone post-match, however, they will have to be more efficient next week at Anfield if they are to have any hope of progressing to the next round of the Champions League.
