Champions League favorites after a strong season, Liverpool fell in the last 16 to Paris Saint-Germain.
Excellent in the first leg despite a 1-0 defeat, Luis Enrique’s men held their own against the English side last night and qualified after a 1-0 victory (1-1 on aggregate) and a penalty shootout dominated by Gianluigi Donnarumma.
After this result, the Parisians were ecstatic. However, the Merseyside club was dejected. This was the case for Mohamed Salah (32). Brilliant this season, the Pharaoh failed to rise to the occasion in both the first and second legs.
Distressed after his team’s elimination, the Egyptian player, who may have played his last Champions League match with his club as his contract is out and he has not yet extended his deal, was seen in tears by the Daily Mirror. He was not the only one since his teammate Darwin Nuñez was also very moved.
