Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele admitted Anfield remains a daunting fortress after his brace eliminated Liverpool from the Champions League.
Despite the Reds dominating with 21 shots and a higher xG, the clinical Ballon d’Or winner secured a 2-0 win. Dembele noted, “It’s a stadium that is a difficult stadium and a difficult team. They made us work for it.”
The atmosphere was a “cauldron of passion” as Arne Slot’s side pressured the European champions relentlessly.
Although Liverpool failed to overturn the deficit, their energetic pressing provided a tactical blueprint for the remainder of the season.
Reflecting on the challenge, Dembele told CBS: “We came here to take the win, that was our mentality, and the most important thing is we got through.”
