Paris Saint-Germain delivered a masterclass against Liverpool but their coach believes missed chances could prove costly.
Paris Saint-Germain put on a clinic at the Parc des Princes, dismantling Liverpool 2-0 in their Champions League quarterfinal opener, but coach Luis Enrique left the pitch with mixed emotions about his team's finishing.
The Spanish tactician watched his side create chance after chance against Jurgen Klopp's men, only to see several golden opportunities go begging. Ousmane Dembélé, in particular, squandered multiple clear-cut chances that could have turned a comfortable victory into a rout.
"We controlled the game completely and created so many opportunities," Enrique reflected post-match. "Against a team of Liverpool's quality, you must be ruthless when these moments come. We should have put this tie to bed tonight."
The result gives PSG a crucial advantage heading into the second leg at Anfield, where Liverpool's famous European nights have seen them overturn seemingly impossible deficits. With African stars across both squads looking to make their mark on this continental stage, the return fixture promises fireworks as the Reds seek to flip this quarterfinal on its head.
