Dembélé's Brace Sends PSG Past Liverpool to Semifinals

Ousmane Dembélé scored twice to guide Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to a 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday, completing a 4-0 aggregate win and advancing to the Champions League semifinals for the third consecutive year. The match compounded Liverpool's woes, as Hugo Ekitike suffered a serious injury that could end his season and hinder Liverpool's chances of returning to Europe's elite next season.

Currently sitting fifth in the Premier League, Liverpool is set to finish the campaign trophyless. Mohamed Salah was benched for the match, with Liverpool making a tactical shift that included Alex Isak and Cody Gakpo.

Dembélé's first goal came in the 72nd minute, curling a shot into the bottom corner, while he sealed the win with a second goal in stoppage time from a Bradley Barcola cross. PSG will face Bayern Munich in the semifinals, aiming to conquer Europe after last season's disappointment.
