Paris Saint-Germain achieved a deserved victory over Liverpool with two unanswered goals, in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals held at Parc des Princes.

The Parisian team is now close to qualifying for the semi-finals, ahead of the return leg scheduled for next Tuesday at Anfield.

Paris Saint-Germain opened the scoring in the 11th minute when the ball reached Désiré Doué, who dribbled past several Liverpool players before launching a powerful shot from inside the penalty area that deceived the goalkeeper Mamardashvili and settled into the net.

During the first half, the French team created several clear scoring opportunities, but goalkeeper Mamardashvili excelled and saved his goal on more than one occasion.

In the 65th minute, Paris Saint-Germain reinforced their lead with a second goal by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, after a through pass from Neves, penetrating the penalty area, dribbling past the defense and the goalkeeper, then placing the ball into the net.

Paris Saint-Germain's dominance continued in the second half, as their players missed a number of dangerous opportunities, while Liverpool failed to threaten the Parisian team's goal.
