Liverpool loses 0-2 at PSG despite 53% possession; lowest xG output (1.93) in recent European run
Liverpool's 0-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain on April 14 marks a stark departure from their typical attacking dominance. Despite 53% possession, they managed only 1.93 xG while conceding 1.25 xG—their lowest expected goals tally in a Champions League match this season. PSG's tactical adjustment has neutralized Liverpool's usual pressing intensity and possession-to-chance conversion.
