109mins: Dembele looks incredibly frustrated as his snap shot is saved.
Konate is down injured, though, and PSG’s corner is delayed.

107mins: Just to point out that Liverpool still have one more substitution to make, while PSG still have two.
There is certainly a tactical battle to be won or lost as the clock runs down.

That does it for the first quarter of an hour – still nothing to separate the two sides.
With 105 minutes of football now played, both sides look exhausted. This could well be separated by a single mistake – a missed pass, a poorly timed tackle, a dropped parry.
Fifteen more minutes to fight, then penalties!
Liverpool make another change, adding Harvey Elliott for Szoboszlai. To say the Hungary international looks spent would be an understatement. A penny to know how much ground that man covered tonight.

105mins: An awkward slip for Nuno Mendes, and the player looks to be in some discomfort.
It looks to be a similar incident to that which took Alexander-Arnold out of the game – an innocuous stumble and awkward tumble.
The player hobbles off with PSG’s trainers while Liverpool take a corner, but Donnarumma deals with it over Van Dijk.

101mins: Both sides make changes.
PSG exchange Kvaratskhelia for Lee. The Georgian has struggled to get on the ball but looked dangerous when he has, ultimately failing to score though.
Cody Gakpo returns from injury to replace Luis Diaz. Having been sidelined for a couple of weeks, this is an intense return.

97mins: Another Liverpool corner, another uncompromising Donnarumma parry.
He flies off his line and bats the cross out. Not taking any chances.
93min: Vitinha plays a gorgeous cross in to Beraldo, whose header, again, is inches from goal.
Doue goes close again moments later.

90mins: We are back underway. Two 15-minute halves await.
Both sides have smartly waited to use most of their substitutions, leaving three each to extra time.
Zaire-Emery comes on for PSG, Curtis Jones comes on for Liverpool.
All to play for now, this is a classic in the making.

Another half hour? Oh, go on then.
PSG take the win in normal time, but a 1-1 aggregate score means we will see another 30 minutes of play as the two sides look to separate themselves.
The half was defined by missed chances – either side has chances aplenty to take the lead, particularly Liverpool, but a dominant performance from Donnarumme means we go to extra time.

PSG had the better of the first half, Liverpool the better of the second. PSG have become just the fifth team to beat Slot’s Liverpool over 90 minutes but, like one of the others, it may not count for much: Tottenham won the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, but not the second or the tie.
