This defeat was not because Liverpool underestimated PSG, but PSG's performance was quite good from the two legs that had been played so it was appropriate if PSG could win the match and advance to the quarter-finals.
Since the first leg, even though Liverpool won the match, sometimes PSG, but in terms of game quality, PSG was clearly slightly better so there was no gap for Liverpool to win this match, that must be admitted and Liverpool's defeat was because their quality was not better than PSG.

Liverpool elimination by PSG reminds me of their journey in the Europa League last season, M Salah and his colleagues lost surprisingly when they were favorites in the competition. We can say that Liverpool were unlucky, and PSG have broken the assumptions of people who doubted their strength. Luis Enrique deserves appreciation, he is a key figure behind PSG success in reaching the quarter finals. Nuno Mendes who was tasked with guarding every movement of M Salah, managed to do his job perfectly, it was one of several factors that made Liverpool very overwhelmed in defeating PSG.

And one other area that we all might have forgotten to take note of, and give credits to, is the match officials. The referee was so brilliant. I have been saying, and I will continue to say it, UEFA referees are far better than those that officiates in other leagues.

Nuno mendes was too just too brilliant yesterday, but if that was to be a premier league game, he would have conceded a penalty at some point (I think close to the late minute of the game). UEFA referees understands when to and when not to issue a card. Even with the physicality in that game, the yellow card wasn't more than three. But if it where to be in the EPL, we might have seen something different.

Massive credits to the center man(referee). Unfortunately, the EPL officials can never officiate like them. And I guess, we all will continue to enjoy UCl, not just because of the top teams, but because of the standard. Massive congrats to PSG, and over to the Madrid derby.
