IAN LADYMAN AT ANFIELD: So now we know that there is another side to the champions of Europe. PSG of France can defend, too.

Despite playing some brilliant football in the 2nd half and an amazing Anfield atmosphere, the Reds crash out of the Champions League. Paul is on the Kop with his reaction. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stage was set for one of Liverpool’s classic comeback nights – but not this team against these European champions Often in the past Liverpool has demanded and Anfield has delivered. Past glories perhaps shouldn’t influence the present, but they do; precedent begets belief. That’s part of the mythos of the great stadiums, how they develop a life and an identity of their own. But a club cannot simply give itself to an arena and hope that it will do the job that players and management and the executive body cannot. No ground, not even Anfield, has an infinite capacity for miracles. Just because Liverpool came from 3-0 down to beat Barcelona in 2019, there’s no reason to believe they could overhaul a two-goal deficit against Paris Saint-Germain in 2026. Anfield did its bit on a windy night on which early drizzle gave way to teeming rain. The rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone was suitably stirring, the noise from both sets of fans boisterous. But it was not enough.

England's hard-fought victory over world champions Spain was helpful in more ways than one.

Sarina Wiegman’s side followed up Euro 2025 final glory with another defensively minded win over biggest rivals As the seconds ran down, the tension was palpable around Wembley. Hearts were in mouths as Hannah Hampton made a world-class save from point-blank range to keep out Edna Imade’s header. Every sinew was stretched by Keira Walsh as she stuck out a head and then a boot to scramble away yet another delivery into the box, every single ounce of energy eked out to protect Lauren Hemp’s third-minute goal, a moment that felt like it belonged to another era of time. Despite the apparent commotion on the field and the anxiety of the spectators in the stands, there was, however, very little panic evident on the faces of the 11 Lionesses on the field. Instead there was an aura of confidence about them, a true belief that they would get the job done. They cut an image of a team that had been there and done it all before and completed the task at hand on a far more stressful stage than the hallowed Wembley turf.

The Reds could not come back against PSG and are set to enter the summer with many of the same questions

Danish-Ghanaian attacker Osman Addo came off the bench to score a stoppage-time clincher as Viborg earned a hard-fought 2–0 away win over Sønderjyske in the Superligaen Championship Round.Viborg had to stay patient at Sydbank Park, only breaking the deadlock three minutes after half-time when Lukas Kirkegaard headed in from a Sami Jalal Karchoud cross on 48 minutes.Sønderjyske pushed for an equaliser and created chances of their own in an open second half, but Viborg’s defence held firm under growing pressure. Addo was introduced in the 80th minute and immediately gave the visitors fresh energy in attack with his movement and willingness to run in behind.His moment arrived in the first minute of added time, when Thomas Jørgensen slipped a clever pass into the box and Addo finished calmly to make it 2–0 and wrap up the points for Viborg. The goal continues a promising 2025/26 Superligaen campaign for Addo, who now has 6 league appearances, 2 goals to his name.Viborg will look to carry that momentum into their next fixture, a home game against Nordsjælland on Sunday, April 19.

Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League with a 4-0 aggregate defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, but how did the Reds players rate in the second leg at Anfield

Defeat never tasted so good. At the end of a battle in which both teams had fought and both had bled, in which they had suffered, a huge banner was unfurled. “We give everything to win the cup,” it said, and, boy, had they. For the first time, Diego Simeone had seen his team lose a Champions League knockout game at home, but it did not matter: instead there was delirium, the club’s anthem belted out louder than ever before. “You don’t know how lovely it is to be among the four best teams in Europe,” he said.

Liverpool's Champions League dream was shredded by the boots of Ousmane Dembele. Arne Slot's side threw everything at this second leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Despite Barcelona's 2-1 win in the second leg, Ademola Lookman's goal secured Atletico Madrid's ticket to the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League semifinals. Atletico Madrid hosted FC Barcelona on Tuesday in the decisive second leg of their 2025-26 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Despite the Blaugrana claiming a 2-1 victory on the night, Ademola Lookman‘s goal proved to be the decisive blow, sending the Colchoneros through to the semifinals on aggregate. Needing to overturn a two-goal deficit from the start, Barcelona hit the ground running when Ferran Torres pounced on a mistake from Clément Lenglet and laid the ball into the path of Lamine Yamal, who slotted it through Juan Musso’s legs to open the scoring in the fourth minute. Torres then added a second in the 24th minute, bringing down Dani Olmo’s pass with a deft first touch before finishing to give the Blaugrana a 2-0 lead on the night and level the tie on aggregate. With the game heading for extra time, Barcelona‘s hopes were dashed in the 31st minute when Marcos Llorente delivered a cross from the right and Lookman met it first time, restoring Atletico’s aggregate advantage with a sharp finish. The Blaugrana were unable to find another breakthrough in the second half, and their cause was dealt a further blow when Eric Garcia was shown a red card in the 79th minute, leaving Barcelona to exit the competition 3-2 on aggregate. It marks Atletico’s first Champions League semifinal appearance since the 2016-17 season, when they faced Real Madrid at that stage. Diego Simeone’s side will now await the winner of the tie between Arsenal and Sporting CP, with the Gunners holding a 1-0 lead heading into the second leg of their quarterfinal.

Liverpool have crashed to a 2-0 defeat at Anfield against PSG in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. After losing the first leg 2-0 away from home, they were hoping to overturn the deficit at home, but the defending European champions have managed to get the job done at Anfield, and they […] The post Shearer reveals “exactly what Liverpool have been missing” against PSG tonight appeared first on CaughtOffside.
Barcelona dumped out of Champions League Kick Off

Atlético Madrid held onto to reach the semi-finals against 10-man Barcelona on a pulsating night in the Spanish capital I always feel sorry for the young mascots on Champions League nights. They are living the dream but having to dress like a credit card. The teams are primed in the ‘tunnel’ which is more spacious than my house.

Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in nine years despite a 2-1 home defeat by Barcelona in a thrilling encounter on Tuesday, advancing 3-2 on aggregate after their 2-0 first-leg win at the Camp Nou.

Lauren Hemp’s early goal proved decisive as England overcame reigning world champions Spain 1-0 at Wembley. Hemp’s record-breaking effort arrived inside three minutes on Tuesday, with Sarina Wiegman’s team holding out for their third win in Women’s World Cup qualifying. England’s goal owed much to the work of Alessia Russo, who improvised from a horizontal […] The post England 1-0 Spain: Hemp makes Wembley history in World Cup qualifying win appeared first on Soccer News.

Liverpool failed to produce a famous Anfield comeback as Ousmane Dembele's double saw holders Paris Saint-Germain progress past Arne Slot's spirited side and reach the Champions League semi-finals.

Reds battled hard but were ultimately beaten as Hugo Ekitike suffered serious injury

It felt routine in the end, the imperious champions of Europe through to another Champions League semi-final, Luis Enrique waving politely to the VIPs up in the Sir Kenny Dalglish stand having cavorted around Anfield following Paris Saint-Germain’s victory here last season, and a despondent Mohamed Salah bidding farewell to the Kop after his final European outing in a Liverpool shirt. But this was no routine departure from the Champions League for Liverpool. Having exited the FA Cup quarter-final 4-0 and with a whimper, Arne Slot’s side exited the Champions League quarter-final 4-0 on aggregate but with a fight. For 72 minutes they also had hope, went toe-to-toe with the finest unit in Europe and kept on pressing despite the loss of Hugo Ekitiké to a potentially serious injury and a debatable decision to give – and then take away – a penalty with the capacity to change everything. It will be of little consolation to Slot and his team that, for the second successive season against PSG, taking the fight to Luis Enrique’s champions and putting the fright on them brought no reward at Anfield. The damage inflicted in Paris last week proved irrepairable.

Liverpool had their penalty controversially overturned by VAR during a must win Champions League clash with PSG on Tuesday evening

Il Barcellona vince 2-1 contro l'Atletico Madrid nel ritorno dei quarti di finale di Champions, ma esce per via dello 0-2 nella gara d'andata. La squadra del Cholo Simeone avanza in semifinale, decisivo il gol dell'ex attaccante dell'Atalanta Ademola Lookman arrivato alla mezz'ora del primo tempo dopo le reti di Yamal e Ferran Torres. Proprio Lamine è finito al centro di un commento rilasciato da Zvominir Boban commentando la partita negli studi di Sky Sport: l'attaccante spagnolo è rimasto in campo fino al fischio finale, ma secondo l'attuale presidente della Dinamo Zagabria non è riuscito a fare il massimo perché troppo stanco. LE PAROLE DI BOBAN Boban ha commentato così la prestazione di Yamal: "L'ho visto stanco e impreparato, ma alla sua età (18 anni, ndr) non dovrebbe succedere. Nel secondo tempo è stata dura creare qualcosa senza di lui. Anche se alla fine sono riusciti a creare due/tre occasioni anche in dieci; per assurdo, hanno fatto di più dopo l'espulsione di Eric Garcia che non nel resto del secondo tempo, dopo aver dominato il primo. Nei primi 45 minuti è stato quasi disumano per quanto hanno attaccato e creato, poi però nella ripresa non hanno saputo tenere quel ritmo e si è vista la differenza. L'Atletico, invece, a differenza del Barça, è cresciuto col passare del tempo".
