Paris ¨C Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored the goals to give a dominant Paris Saint-Germain a 2-0 win over Liverpool in their Champions League quarterfinal first leg on Wednesday, as the defending champion seized a clear advantage to take to Anfield for next week¡¯s return leg.
Doue¡¯s shot in the 11th minute looped over goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and into the net thanks to a big touch off Ryan Gravenberch, and Kvaratskhelia then rounded his compatriot to double PSG¡¯s lead 65 minutes into a game it dominated from start to finish.
It only remains to be seen whether the reigning European champion?¡ª?which?had a second-half penalty in its favor overturned after a VAR review ¡ª?might regret not scoring more goals against a Liverpool side that?lined up with three center backs and was run ragged.
