Liverpool v Paris Saint-Germain: Champions League last 16, second leg
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature
On the flight home from Paris last week, the Liverpool players were likely counting their lucky stars after their 1-0 defeat of Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
It was a classic smash-and-grab, with the hosts dominating for most of the match. Alisson kept the visitors in the match with nine saves and Harvey Elliot ensured the visitors left the French capital with something, scoring moments after he came off the bench, the goal coming completely against the run of play.
The tie is far from over. A hungry PSG side will be keen of righting the loss of last Wednesday while Liverpool will hope to put on a better showing and record another famous night at Anfield under the lights.

Kevin De Bruyne tells Antonio Conte to sign England star in blow to Man Utd
Kevin De Bruyne has told Antonio Conte to bring his former Manchester City teammate Jack Grealish to Napoli in a potential transfer blow to Manchester United. De Bruyne's move to Serie A champions Napoli was confirmed earlier this month following the Belgian's exit from Manchester City. The 33-year-old established himself as one of the greatest midfielders in Premier League history during his decade-long spell at the Etihad Stadium. Despite already signing Man City legend De Bruyne, Napoli have expressed interest in signing a number of other Premier League stars this summer. Conte is keen to strengthen his squad to boost Napoli's chances of defending the Serie A title and competing in the Champions League.

Manchester City's Grealish and Manchester United's Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho have all emerged as targets for the Italian club. Sancho and Garnacho are believed to be keen on move to Naples after being deemed surplus to requirements by Old Trafford boss Ruben Amorim. Ex-Chelsea loanee Sancho was hoping to earn a permanent move to Stamford Bridge but the Blues instead paid £5m in compensation to send him back to United. Garnacho has also been linked with Chelsea after being put up for sale by decision-makers at Manchester United. But Napoli are only expected to sign one of Sancho, Garnacho or Grealish and De Bruyne is making the case for his old teammate. According to The Sun, Conte has been asking De Bruyne about Grealish's credentials and has received a glowing reference from the Belgium international. Man City spent a record-breaking £100m to sign Grealish from Aston Villa in 2021 but the 29-year-old is expected to leave following a frustrating 2024-25 campaign. Grealish struggled for game-time under Pep Guardiola and was then left out of Manchester City's Club World Cup squad. Tottenham are believed to be the current favourites to sign Grealish but De Bruyne is doing everything he can to bring him to Naples. Grealish accepts a move is necessary to revive his career and boost his chances of being included in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for next summer's World Cup. Asked about Grealish's future at the Etihad Stadium last week, Guardiola said: 'He had a conversation with the club and [we] decided [what was for] the best. 'Jack is an exceptional player. The only reason why he didn't play last season is of course my decision. We decide that he has to play. The club was honest, he was honest. 'Incredible love and respect [for him] and we decide the best is to stay [behind] and have a place [at home] that he can feel like he can come back to be the player like he was in the year of the treble or all his career in Aston Villa. More Trending 'Without him it would have been more difficult in the year of the treble [2022-2023]. The fact is in the last two seasons he didn't play much minutes. 'He has to come back to play and have the butterflies in his stomach that he can play every three days and show again the quality he has.' Asked if believed Grealish's future lied away from Man City, Guardiola added: 'I don't know. 'Now we decide don't come here and what happens I don't know in the end. If we don't find [another solution], he's a player for Man City and he will be back.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Liverpool agree Jarell Quansah's Leverkusen transfer and include savvy clause – sparking Marc Guehi battle
BAYER LEVERKUSEN have agreed a deal to sign Jarell Quansah from Liverpool for a fee of £30m, according to reports. Quansah, 22, will sign a contract with the Bundesliga outfit until 2030, but could return to Merseyside in the future thanks to a savvy clause in his deal. 1 According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have included a buy-back clause in the defender's contract that will give them control over the England international's future should they wish to bring him back to Anfield. Leverkusen are expected to pay Liverpool an initial £30m fee for Quansah, with £5m worth of potential add-ons also included in the deal. Quansah, who is currently away with the England U21 squad at the U21 European Championships, featured in 13 Premier League games for Liverpool last season. His switch to Leverkusen could now spark Liverpool into a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Guehi is admired by the top brass at Anfield and is thought to prefer a move to Arne Slot's side over fellow suitors Arsenal. The England defender wants regular first-team football and assurances from boss Mikel Arteta that he will get it in the North London team. But William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes would almost certainly start ahead of the 24-year-old if he was to move there. The defender does not want to be sitting on the bench with the World Cup coming up next summer and Liverpool could be the perfect fit. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
