PSG Talking Podcast: Paris Stuns Liverpool at Anfield | OneFootball

While they have a long way yet to go in the UEFA Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain sits atop the footballing world at the moment, having knocked out arguably the best team in Europe.

On this episode of PSG Talking, I’m joined by Marc Damon to break down PSG’s dramatic win over Liverpool FC at Anfield to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

We begin with our emotional thoughts on the match. Ousmane Dembélé scored in the first half to put PSG up 1-0 in the match and draw level on aggregate at 1-1. The match went back and forth, with both sides displaying incredible skill. There were diving saves, last-ditch tackles, fantastic dribbling, and curling shots that just missed the target. It was a heavyweight battle between PSG and Liverpool that ultimately went to extra time and then penalties to decide the winner.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, who had an excellent night, stepped up huge for PSG and saved two Liverpool penalties, and Les Parisiens went on to win the shootout 4-1. We discuss whether the PSG goalkeeper earned a contract extension following that performance. We also talk about Désiré Doué, who came on in the second half and was the player in line to score the winning penalty for PSG. We discuss his sensational ability and what it means to score such a big goal at 19 years old.

We break down Liverpool’s strategy and how Luis Enrique countered that by being patient and trusting the players that got him to that point. We also look ahead briefly to a potential encounter with Aston Villa and former manager Unai Emery.

The show concludes with us answering your questions, including whether Dembélé should be a frontrunner for the Ballon d’Or.
