Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Liverpool FC host Paris Saint-Germain FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Liverpool FC and Paris Saint-Germain FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Liverpool FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 25' Juan Bernat has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 27' A moment of madness from Virgil van Dijk on 27 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Liverpool FC will be frustrated.
  • 30' Assisted by Andrew Robertson with the perfectly-timed delivery and Daniel Sturridge makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Maxim Choupo-Moting made 520 appearances and scored 68 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 36' James Milner adds to his 0 season tally! Liverpool FC lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 40' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Thomas Meunier makes it 2-1.
  • 45' Thomas Meunier catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 45.
  • 50' Virgil van Dijk is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Paris Saint-Germain FC tonight.
  • 55' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Liverpool FC and Paris Saint-Germain FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 60' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Liverpool FC that had 409 games and scored 805 goals.
  • 70' Sadio Mane has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 16 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 72' Time for substitution for Liverpool FC. Daniel Sturridge is replaced by Roberto Firmino.
  • 77' Marquinhos has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 80' Julian Draxler is ready to make an impact after coming on for Edinson Cavani at the 80 minute mark.
  • 83' Kylian Mbappe makes no mistake. The score reads 2-2 and Paris Saint-Germain FC are in front.
  • 85' Another change for Liverpool FC made on 85 minute. Mohamed Salah leaves to be changed by Xherdan Shaqiri.
  • 90' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Roberto Firmino makes it 3-2.
  • 90' Fabinho has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sadio Mane on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-2.
