Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister was subjected to missile throwing from the section of PSG fans during a Champions League match. This incident happened as he was preparing to take a corner kick in the game where Liverpool ultimately lost to Paris Saint-Germain in a penalty shootout.
Mac Allister’s Liverpool team entered the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie with a narrow 1-0 advantage. However, despite their initial lead, they were eliminated from the competition after a tense and closely contested match.
Liverpool had previously secured a win in the first leg against PSG at Parc des Princes, with Harvey Elliott scoring the decisive goal in the 87th minute. That goal was Liverpool’s only shot on target throughout the first game.
The Premier League leaders aimed to capitalize on their aggregate lead at Anfield on Tuesday evening, pushing to extend their advantage.
However, it was PSG who managed to score first. In the 12th minute of the match, Ousmane Dembele capitalized on a mistake by Liverpool defender Ibrahim Konate to break the deadlock.
Dembele’s goal ignited celebrations among the visiting PSG supporters in the stadium.
The intensity and excitement continued throughout the game as both Liverpool and PSG fought hard to gain control and score further goals.
During a moment when Liverpool was awarded a corner kick, PSG fans again behaved poorly.
As Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister approached the corner flag to take the set-piece, he was shockingly met with a hail of thrown objects, including bottles.
This unacceptable behavior from the PSG fans drew immediate criticism from Liverpool supporters.
Fans went to social media platforms to voice their disapproval of the PSG fans’ actions of throwing missiles onto the pitch.
Online reactions from Liverpool fans included comments such as: “Not very nice stuff,” “Throwing bottles, classy,” “Stewards should throw them out,” and “Clowns.”
As the match continued, neither team managed to score again, keeping the score tied on aggregate.
The game then proceeded to a penalty shootout to determine the winner.
Ultimately, PSG emerged victorious in the shootout, securing their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones missed their penalties.
