Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added another stunning solo goal to his growing collection as Paris Saint-Germain triumphed 2-0 over Liverpool in their Champions League quarterfinal first leg on Wednesday. As PSG dominated, the Georgia star dazzled by skillfully bypassing a defender and goalkeeper, scoring his eighth goal of the competition.

Désiré Doué gave PSG an early lead with a deflected shot in the 11th minute, while Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé failed to capitalize on several scoring opportunities at Parc des Princes. Criticizing Liverpool's unusually defensive approach, PSG coach Luis Enrique lamented missed chances despite the win.

Arne Slot defended his cautious tactics against PSG's formidable attack, acknowledging his team's struggles.

Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, secured a 2-0 win against Barcelona on the same night, while Liverpool's Mohamed Salah remained benched for energy conservation.
