Liverpool v Paris Saint-Germain (Champions League 2018-19)

Liverpool v Paris Saint-Germain was a match which took place at Anfield on Tuesday, 18 September 2018. It was a group stage match of the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League.

Roberto Firmino's injury-time winner gave Liverpool a dramatic victory over Paris Saint-Germain in their opening Champions League Group C game at Anfield. Firmino was only fit enough to be on the bench after suffering an eye injury in Liverpool's victory at Tottenham on Saturday - but he emerged on 72 minutes to secure a win that manager Jürgen Klopp may have thought was slipping away after Kylian Mbappé's late equaliser threatened to rescue a point for PSG.

Daniel Sturridge, Firmino's replacement in Liverpool's starting line-up, headed them in front from Andrew Robertson's cross on the half hour, James Milner adding a second from the spot six minutes later after Georginio Wijnaldum was fouled. Thomas Meunier pulled one back for PSG before half-time but, with Brazil superstar Neymar and Mbappe subdued, Liverpool were in control, seeing a Mohamed Salah goal ruled out for a foul.

Klopp's side were stunned when Mbappe pounced in the area to beat Alisson with seven minutes left - but Firmino made it a perfect start to Liverpool's Champions League campaign by beating Alphonse Areola with a low, angled drive deep into stoppage time.
