Liverpool lacking quality in the attack
While there is no doubt that Liverpool put on a strong performance against PSG tonight, they were simply missing the cutting edge in the final third. Despite putting the away side under tremendous pressure for most of the game, they failed to create too many opportunities and get on the score sheet.
Former Premier League star Alan Shearer has revealed that the extra bit of quality and brilliance on the edge of the box separates the two teams.
Despite struggling for most of the game, PSG opened the scoring in the second half through Ousmane Dembele, who found the back of the net with an effort from outside the box.

Alan Shearer on Liverpool’s shortcomings
Shearer told the BBC: “That is exactly what Liverpool have been missing tonight and for large parts of this season; that bit of quality and brilliance, on the edge of the box. The way he shifts it is magnificent forward play from Ousmane Dembele. A wonderful finish.”
Dembele doubled the advantage for his team late in the game to secure a 2-0 victory in the second leg. They will now face Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals.
As for Liverpool, they will look to secure a top-five finish in the Premier League and qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. Hugo Ekitike picked up what looks like a season-ending injury earlier tonight, which will only make things harder for the team in the remaining games.
