By winning at the Reds' stadium, the reigning European champions qualified for the semi-finals of the competition for the sixth time in their history (after 1995, 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025) - that's more times than any other French team. Paris are also the only club to have reached this stage of the competition in each of the last three editions.
Luis Enrique's men have progressed from each of their last seven knockout Champions League double-headers, and in each of their five double-headers against English teams in the competition over the last two seasons.
Spurred on by nearly 3,000 fans at Anfield, Les Rouge et Bleu scored their 37th and 38th goals in the UEFA Champions League this season, equalling the club record set last season. These were Paris' 399th and 400th goals in official matches during the Luis Enrique era, a symbolic milestone never before achieved by a Parisian coach.
The two goals gave the capital club their sixth consecutive win in all competitions for the first time this season (Chelsea 5-2 and 3-0, Nice 4-0, Toulouse 3-1 and Liverpool 2-0 and 2-0).
Paris Saint-Germain striker Ousmane Dembélé scored twice on Tuesday evening, the third time he has scored more than one goal in a Champions League match since the start of last season, following a brace against Brest on 11 February 2025 and a hat-trick against Stuttgart on 29 January 2025.
These two strikes saw the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner climb to 13th place on the capital club's all-time scorers chart, one goal ahead of Guillaume Hoarau and two ahead of George Weah. With 14 goals in the competition for Paris, the Rouge et Bleu No.10 has moved into the top five of the Parisian top scorers in the Champions League, level with Angel Di Maria.
