It's unbelievable how Liverpool managed to win at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday. In a match in which PSG played around for 86 minutes, the Reds showed off their cup mystique and won 1-0 on the hour mark thanks to a goal from Harvey Elliott, who came off the bench to leave his mark on the result.

The UEFA Champions League once again laughed in the face of Paris Saint-Germain: the Parisians made Allisson the star of a game in which they fully deserved to take the lead, but Liverpool took the win on the first clear chance they had in the entire match.

In the 41st minute of the second half, Arne Slot decided to take Mohamed Salah off the field and put Harvey Elliott in his place , in a substitution that surprised fans. However, the young Chertsey-born midfielder took just 50 seconds to score the goal that marked the final difference for Liverpool against PSG on French soil.

Slot was right with his changes: in a counterattack, after a series of rebounds, Darwin Núñez , who had also come on in the second half in place of Diego Jota, thought instead of trying to finish, he assisted Elliott who was arriving at speed , and the midfielder finished next to Donnarumma's right post to beat the Italian and go out to shout it with all the euphoria.

The Premier League team thus returned to the United Kingdom with a very important advantage for the return leg of the round of 16. The second game of the series will be played next Tuesday, March 11 at Anfield , where Slot's team will try to strike the hammer and get a ticket to the quarterfinals of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League. Will Luis Enrique's team be able to take revenge for what happened in the first leg in Paris?
