One former star was said to have been booted out of Anfield during ’s midweek . The Reds had entered the second leg boasting a one-goal advantage but were .
The night got off to the worst possible start for , with Ousmane Dembele netting a first-half goal to level the tie on aggregate. From that point on, champions-elect failed to leave their mark, with PSG capitalising on the Merseyside outfit’s drop in form.
The victory sparked scenes of celebration in the PSG away end, where the travelling fans were rejoicing in their sides’ victory. One fan – or rather ex-player – wasn’t able to join in, considering he’d been removed from the stands by the stewards.

Menez has since turned to punditry in his retirement, but it was fellow Frenchman and ex-professional Samir Nasri who broke the news to Canal+. He said on air: “A thought for those who were kicked out of the stadium too. Jeremy Menez was at the match, and they asked him if he was French. After his answer, they told him to leave the stadium.

It was similar to Paris last week, when they played the perfect game and didn’t score. And then in extra time, they were maybe a little bit better.”
The defeat has slashed ’s hopes of securing a treble of trophies this season, with only the domestic double left to fight for. They’ll take one step closer to securing that this weekend with a victory against United in the League Cup final.
