00:00After days of anticipation, we're finally here.
00:03A truly unforgettable occasion, worthy of a packed stadium.
00:07You won't want to miss a second of it.
00:10The 16th arrondissement of Paris is our venue, the historic Parc des France stadium.
00:15My name's Guy Mowbray, delighted to be joined by Sue Smith for commentary.
00:19And every reason to believe we're in for an entertaining match here.
00:23It's Paris Saint-Germain, and they take on Liverpool.
00:26Well, it's a pleasure to be here, and I'm anticipating a good game today.
00:30The coaching staff have done all they can.
00:33Now it's about taking it onto the pitch.
00:46It's no surprise who we've picked out to have a look at here.
00:49What should we expect today, Sue?
00:51Well, he's a match winner. He's a genius on the football pitch.
00:54Whenever he gets on the ball, you think he's going to make something happen.
00:58I love the way he just skips past players with ease.
01:01I can't wait to see him play today.
01:23Here's how PSG line up.
01:26Ashraf Hakimi plays with Nuno Mendes in the full-back roles.
01:29Vitinha plays alongside Fabian in the middle of the park,
01:33and they'll play with a lone striker up front.
01:40Oh, real opportunity!
01:42And it's been safely dealt with.
01:52And the corner is fired in.
01:57Van Dijk in the middle.
01:58And they've got to be careful here.
02:09PSG exploiting the space on the flank.
02:12Oh, Alastic tackle clears it away.
02:16Yeah, he was really committed there, wasn't he?
02:25Dominic's the boss line.
02:32Mekicique.
02:34Surely now!
02:36Good save from the keeper.
02:43Hakimi.
02:47Interceptive.
02:48Great reading of the game.
02:58Neves.
03:00And Bailey now.
03:04Fabian Ruiz!
03:05He can't come much closer than that without scoring.
03:28Liverpool have it back now.
03:39Metinia
03:44Played in with that
03:49And they've snucked out the threat
03:51Yeah, he nicked it in the bud quickly there
03:57And it's being passed around, but nobody wants to keep it
04:06McAllister
04:09Canate
04:11Now Canate
04:17Wurtz
04:21A free kick awarded here
04:23The refs viewed that as a foul
04:31Oh, lovely skill to beat his marker
04:41Usman Dembele
04:46Well read to gain possession
04:54Jeremy Frimpon
04:57McAllister
04:58Go back with Liverpool now
05:10He's done well to get past his man
05:16Corner to come
05:19Well for good measure we can see it again
05:22But it's clearly not over the line
05:23Can be no debate on that one
05:30And on to the post
05:39Played into the box
05:44Oh, could be here
05:46Good positioning
05:47Does the job
05:49And behind for a corner
05:50Pressure still on
05:52Well we can see it again
05:54Well we can see it here again
05:54But it was pretty clear when it happened
05:56The ball was nowhere near over the line
05:58And that's just confirmed it
06:04Oh, brilliant anticipation
06:08Ryan Gravenberg
06:10And that keeps the attack developing
06:16Waiting for the right moment
06:23Pressing high
06:24And they have the ball again
06:30Well it's been all Liverpool
06:32Over the last 15 minutes or so
06:34And they're starting to create
06:35Plenty of chances too
06:36You sense it's inevitable
06:38That they've gone
06:39It's only two chances here maybe
06:40And denied
06:41But he's given it
06:42Penalty
06:55To make it 1-0
06:58And they have paid the penalty
07:00It's been dispatched
07:04So it's 1-0 as the game restarts
07:08Ashraf Hakimi
07:11Nice bit of defending there
07:12To put it out for a throw
07:19Trau Neves
07:21Getting closer
07:22And it's on here
07:24Well that will see it all the way
07:26And the save is made
07:28PSG down by one
07:30And looking for inspiration
07:31From this corner
07:35And the attack is over
07:45Neves
07:52Neves
07:53Ryan Gravenberg
07:55This is what they've been looking for
07:57The counter attack
07:58What a chance here
08:01My word that was close
08:03That is a really good counter guy
08:05It went from defence to attack
08:06So quickly
08:07You just couldn't quite finish it off
08:21Neves
08:22Now they've got possession
08:23What can they do from here?
08:26This could get interesting
08:35Played in with that
08:44And on to Gravenberg
08:48Konate
08:50Krimpong
08:50Happy to just keep the ball here
08:53Drawing out the opposition
08:54Yeah they're enjoying themselves
08:56Aren't they?
09:04Well that's going to be all
09:06For the first half
09:07Here in Paris
09:15The second half underway
09:16And the challenge for PSG
09:18Is to get themselves level
09:25That's set up the chance
09:28Missed a draw level
09:29In it goes
09:31Level once again
09:33What a game this is turning out to be
09:41Well here's the replay
09:42And what a run this is
09:44They just couldn't get anywhere near him
09:46And then he manages to keep his goal at the end
09:48And finishes off well
09:58So it's one all
09:59As the ball gets rolling again
10:06Switched on
10:07And ready to intercept there
10:18Oh maybe a bit of space now
10:22But that's where it ends
10:24With the ball won this time
10:29Betinho
10:39Nuno Mendes
10:41With it's pinched
10:42Well he's mind there
10:45Faced to attack here
10:46For Liverpool
10:53Good work to regain possession
11:00Gravenbeck
11:01Could be something building for Liverpool here
11:07Having a look
11:09Oh he tried to power it in
11:11That's flown wide
11:12Absolutely flown
11:15As you can see from the stats
11:16They're playing the ball around really well
11:18The movement
11:19And the interchanging in positions
11:20Have been good
11:21But now it's about
11:22Adding that quality
11:23In the final third
11:24On a consistent basis
11:27Another spell on the ball here
11:28With hope of making
11:29And taking the chance
11:34A promising move
11:35Stalls
11:36Yeah and I'd like to have seen
11:38A bit more quality
11:39In the final third there
11:41Well now they could
11:42Spring the trap
11:43Well it looked promising
11:44But came to nothing in the end
11:51Prim-pom
11:54And we have 30 minutes left
12:01Ekitike
12:02A turnaround in possession
12:04Excellent positioning
12:18Neves
12:22Parats
12:23Paratskelia
12:26Jero Neves
12:27This looks promising
12:29From PSG
12:31And he goes
12:33And on
12:33And on
12:34Closed it down well
12:40Wurz
12:46Alexis McAllister
12:47Alexis McAllister
12:49That's really well cut out
12:53And this could be the moment
12:54For a counter
12:56The assistance flag is raised
12:58That'll be offside
13:08Getting closer
13:09Getting closer
13:15Dominic Sabosla
13:17Now to deliver a good ball in
13:19For a football here
13:21That's a coach's dream
13:25And that's a decent save
13:27At least certainly made to look that way
13:30Vitinha
13:32Ousmane Dembele
13:39That's a good ball
13:40A goal that gives them the advantage
13:59Here's the replay
14:00And he does well to find space
14:02But you'd always expect him to score
14:04From that sort of age
14:08Here we go then
14:09The last knockings of a game
14:10That might just have been won
14:14Dominic Sabosla
14:15This looks promising
14:16From Liverpool
14:20Oh they've nicked it
14:22And can now push forward
14:25Gets passed really nicely
14:27Surely now
14:28Oh that's brilliant
14:30Super sharp reactions
14:34It's been delivered
14:36Nothing will come of it
14:37It's been cleared
14:45Well some professionals
14:46Would say that had to be done
15:04Really good pass
15:06No he's in
15:07It's there
15:08And it's a goal
15:10That's a real settler for them
15:12Two in front now
15:23Well we can see it again now
15:25He does so well to slip past his mind
15:27Leaves him stranded
15:28But even then
15:30It's far from easy
15:31He does just enough
15:32Under pressure
15:33And it finishes it brilliantly
15:35It's a really nice goal
15:39Fabian
15:40Fabian
15:50Fabian
15:51The pass was red
15:52And the ball has changed hands
15:56Now there could be an opportunity to counter
16:00He's done with the gap
16:01And they profit from this
16:12Dembele
16:15Marquinhos
16:17Kovic
16:18Kovic
16:18Kovac
16:18Kovac
16:19Kovac
16:21Mendes
16:24He's in here
16:25If there were any gaps
16:28There surely aren't any now
16:29A truly dominant display
16:38Well if you watch this again
16:39He's got options
16:40He can round the goalkeeper
16:42He can place it
16:43But he decides to go for power
16:45And what a strike that is
17:00There's a fatalistic air to the kickoff
17:03They're out of it now
17:07Ugo Ekitike
17:10And the cross is blocked
17:15Valets
17:16Kaelia
17:19Mendes
17:20And here we go
17:21Time for the transition
17:26Against the score
17:29And it's been cut out
17:30There's the turnover
17:34Mohamed Salah
17:38Space to attack here for Liverpool
17:42And the chance slips away
17:46And the final whistle wraps up a match
17:49That's gone the way of PSG
17:51Well that was really comfortable wasn't it
17:53The play going forward was so clinical
17:55Took them apart at times
17:57And produced some top quality finishes too
18:00It's a great result
18:04Well he really has
18:05Put in a first class performance today
18:07Absolutely magnificent
18:09He was certainly one of the standouts
18:12A threat throughout
18:13Just never stopped running
18:14And when the chances came
18:16He took them well
