PSG have increased their advantage over Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals with a goal from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Following a well-deserved opener from Désiré Doué in the first half, Luis Enrique’s team has continued to apply relentless pressure on the Merseyside side.

In the 65th minute, Kvaratskhelia skillfully rounded his fellow Georgian, Giorgi Mamardashvili, doubling the hosts’ lead.
He maintains his remarkable scoring streak this season, having netted three goals against Chelsea over two legs in the round of 16.
This marks his 12th goal contribution in the current Champions League campaign, making him the first player in PSG history to score in four consecutive knockout matches.
Shortly after, PSG’s appeal for a penalty was turned down following a VAR review, almost compounding Liverpool’s woes.
Is this tie beyond Liverpool’s reach, or can they find a path back in the second leg at Anfield?
