Contesto

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN advanced to the UEFA Champions League semifinals on Tuesday, decisively ending Liverpool's campaign with a 2-0 victory at Anfield. The result secured a commanding 4-0 aggregate win for the French champions, who now stand just two matches away from achieving a feat accomplished only by Real Madrid in the competition's modern era: successfully defending the trophy.
