However, a series of missed chances and an Ousmane Dembélé brace ultimately brought the comeback effort to an end.Given that the scoreline may not have done justice to the performance, how did the Reds rate on an individual level?Starting XI:Giorgi Mamardashvili: 6.5/10- He had some strong, aggressive moments to snuff out attacks, but still needs to develop greater composure on the ball, as he can look uneasy playing out with his feet. He wasn’t poor, but his ability to surge forward and consistently make defenders indecisive seems to have dipped.Alexis Mac Allister: 7.5/10- He adapted well to playing in an advanced midfield role after spending much of the season in a deeper position.
Given how influential he was during last year’s run-in, there’s hope he can build on this performance and carry it into the Premier League.Liverpool FC v Paris Saint-Germain FC - UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Quarter-Final Second Leg | Liverpool FC/GettyImagesRyan Gravenberch: 8/10- He showed excellent composure on the ball, particularly in the first half, linking play with sharp first touches and setting up Isak for a promising chance had the Swede timed his run better. He still looks short on confidence when it comes to shooting in tight areas, despite having shown exceptional ability in that regard while playing for Germany.Dominik Szoboszlai: 6.5/10- He delivered strong pre-match comments about being ready to “die on the pitch,” but that intensity didn’t quite translate into his performance.
His defensive work rate was solid, as usual, but overall he wasn’t at his customary level tonight.Alexander Isak: 6/10- An unimpressive start. Could be a devastating blow for Liverpool's run-in; fans have to hope it wasn't as serious as it looks.Substitutes:Salah: 7.5/10- He played like someone aware there was a strong chance this would be his final Champions League appearance for the club after coming on in the first half.
