Paris Saint-Germain forced their Champions League last 16 tie against Liverpool to extra time after Ousmane Dembele’s strike brought the French champions level overall at Anfield on Tuesday.
Dembele tapped in after just 12 minutes to leave the tie level at 1-1 on aggregate as both sides missed several chances to set up a quarter-final meeting with Aston Villa or Club Brugge.
PSG won 4-1 on penalties with Mohammed Salah scoring his club’s first and only.
Vitinha, Ramos, and Dembele all converted theirs to give the away team victory.
Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones missed successive kicks before Desire Doue scored the last kick.
After the tie ended 1-1 on aggregate, PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saved two spot kicks while the visitors converted all their efforts.
Extra-time and penalties
The additional half-hour began with two sights of goal for PSG, with Lucas Beraldo nudging a header a yard wide of the left post just two minutes in.
Fellow substitute Desire Doue then spun inside the box and whistled an effort even more narrowly the wrong side of the same bit of woodwork.
Liverpool ended the first period in the ascendancy and the introduction of Gakpo was followed after the change of ends by Harvey Elliott as Slot tried to find the way through.
Alisson and Dembele recommenced their duel when the Frenchman was teed up to the left of goal and aimed a side-footer that the Reds’ No.1 scooped away.
Konate had to limp off as the clock showed 111 minutes played, Wataru Endo called on to take the defender’s spot alongside Van Dijk at the back.
The aggregate deadlock continued and penalties would settle berth in the quarter-finals.
PSG were on target with each of the four they attempted and Donnarumma’s saves from Nunez and Jones meant it was the Ligue 1 side who moved forward to the next round.
