Liverpool vs PSG Highlights: A Brazilian had the final say in this match, but it was not Neymar. Roberto Firmino scored in stoppage time to give Liverpool a winning start to their Champions League campaign. PSG were pretty lackluster for most of the match and Kylian Mbappe’s brilliant solo effort is what helped them get to 2-2. Liverpool took an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Daniel Sturridge and James Milner.

FULL TIME! Liverpool 3-2 PSG: The end to a great beginning. Liverpool vs PSG has turned out to be another Champions League classic. Firmino's winner in the end is all that matter as Liverpool guard their home successfully against PSG.
GOAL! Liverpool 3-2 PSG (Firmino 90 + 1 mins): And there he is. Put a finger in his eye, it doesn't matter, he will find the back of the net. Firmino has surely won it for Liverpool now.
88 mins: Neymar with a defence splitting pass to find Draxler. The German is in space but his shot from 18 yards out is blocked.
85 mins: Liverpool win a free kick right at the edge of the box on the left. Shaqiri and Alexander-Arnold stand over it. The latter takes and the ball is deflected out by Kimpembe.
GOAL! Liverpool 2-2 PSG (Mbappe 82 mins): And that came from nowhere. PSG were absolutely horrendous so far but Mbappe has stolen this one. Salah makes a loose pass and Mbappe takes the ball all the way into goal.
81 mins: Mane retains the ball at the byline, skips it over a sliding defender and tries to shoot from an utterly ridiculous angle. That would have been one for the highlight reels had it gone in.
76 mins: Neymar's pass finds an offside Cavani. Wijnaldum then goes on a lung-burster of a run all the way to the PSG box.
71 mins: Cavani heads out a Milner corner for the millionth time in the match. It has to be noted that the PSG supporters (most of whom are male and half-naked) have been in full voice throughout this match.
63 mins: Liverpool win a free kick around 30 yards from goal on the right. Milner loops it to Robertson who makes a run down the right, he tries to put the cross in but it is blocked.
62 mins: GOAL DISALLOWED! Salah taps it in and Liverpool are well into their celebrations when the goal is disallowed. It turns out that Sturridge had caught Areola in the follow through after the keeper partially cleared it.
55 mins: Some Mbappe magic as he leaves Henderson and Milner questioning the training they got back in their childhood days but his cross is cut out by Gomez.
48 mins: Salah manages to hold off a defender before threading a pass to Sturridge, Silva intervenes and wards off the danger.
About the penalty: Bernat taking down Wijnaldum is what gave Liverpool the lead. It is hard to see why Bernat made that tackle though, as Wijnaldum wasn't really going anywhere. About the Meunier goal: Cavani does look offside when he attempted that overhead kick and Robertson misjudged his clearance after the Uruguayan's attempt. One could make a case of him being offside for obstructing the field here.
HALF TIME: And breath. Three goals in the space of 10 minutes and this match has come alive.
44 mins: Meunier picks up a booking for a foul on Mane.
GOAL! Liverpool 2-1 PSG (Meunier 40 mins): Di Maria's cross from the left, Cavani tries to do a bicycle but misses it complete, Robertson is unable to keep it in control and it comes to Meunier who succesfully pulls one back.
GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 PSG (Milner p 36 mins): It's all going Liverpool's way. They win a penalty, Milner absolutely clobbers it into the bottom right hand corner.
GOAL! LIVERPOOL 1-0 PSG (Sturridge 31 mins): Well, well, well, look who it is! Sturridge has had close to no involvement in the match so far but he delivered when it mattered most. Cross came in from the left and Sturridge just burried it.
23 mins: A lull in affairs as PSG gain more control. The early Liverpudlian storm has subsided. But PSG are hardly making an impact. Cavani dashes forward through the middle and threads it to Neymar at the edge of the box. The Brazilian is in space but the ball pops up to hit is arm, Gomez clears.
16 mins: Close one there for Liverpool. Neymar manages to sting Allison's palms with a shot from a difficult angle despite the number of players between him and goal, the ball rebounds to Cavani but the Uruguayan is unable to get his body shape right for a good shot, Allison makes the second save.
12 mins: Alexander-Arnold drops a shoulder runs into the box skipping past multiple PSG players, tries to cut in but the ball is knocked off for a corner which comes to nothing. Neymar once again tries to spark something after that but his attempted through ball to Mbappe is too heavy.
8 mins: Milner tries a low shot from inside the D and Areola manages to just about tap it out. Liverpool later win a corner that Salah swings too close to the keeper. PSG struggling to get out of their own third.
6 mins: All Liverpool in these early minutes. The only time PSG looked like they could do something was when Neymar set out on an express run past multiple Liverpool players and tried to thread a pass through to Di Maria but the pass was overhit.
KICK OFF: Here we go then! In case you didn't notice, Daniel Sturridge is playing up front for Liverpool after Jan Vertonghen explored the depths of Roberto Firmino's eyesocket on Saturday. The Brazilian is among the subs.

Liverpool and PSG ended their 2017/18 Champions League campaigns thanks to Real Madrid. The fact that PSG were dumped out in the Round of 16 means that they were in a much worse shape than Liverpool after their sojourn ended. Liverpool's run in the Champions League last season and their perfect start to the current Premier League campaign means that one caould argue they are favourites to win this match. Even Jurgen Klopp says that this is a different club from the one he joined.
