LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the Champions League semifinals with a 2-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday.
Ousmane Dembele’s two second-half goals sealed a 4-0 aggregate victory and kept PSG on course to defend European club soccer’s biggest prize.
Dembele’s first goal killed off Liverpool’s fight as the Premier League club went in search of another famous Champions League comeback. The Ballon d’Or swept a low left-footed shot from the edge of the area past goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to quieten the home crowd and ease PSG tension.
His second came at the end of a sweeping move in added time.
Dembele had been guilty of wasting chances in the to effectively put the tie to bed and he failed to take two more first half opportunities to put the French champion further ahead at Anfield.
But his winner was dispatched with precision - nestling in the bottom corner.
PSG will play the winner Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the semifinal.
