Match in brief: Delicious Dembélé steers holders into semis
Arne Slot was able to start striker Alexander Isak for the first time since December, and it was the Swedish international who tested the visiting goalkeeper early on, nodding straight at Matvei Safonov from a Dominik Szoboszlai corner.
The holders upped their intensity, with Dembélé – scorer of the winning goal that forced penalties in last season's round of 16 second leg here – forcing Giorgi Mamardashvili into an unorthodox save before hooking over from close range six minutes later.
However, Paris were indebted to skipper Marquinhos shortly after the half-hour, the long-serving captain sliding in bravely to prevent Virgil van Dijk from slamming in the rebound following a fine reaction stop from Safonov.
The lively Dembélé almost edged the reigning champions in front with the interval approaching, but his first-time effort from a Mamardashvili punch flew into the sidenetting.
The hosts made an energetic start to the second period, substitutes Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha both testing Safonov. Less than 90 seconds after Ngumoha went close at one end, a piece of brilliance for their first attempt of the half put the tie beyond the Reds, Dembélé engineering the space to guide past Mamardashvili from just outside the penalty area.
That effectively thwarted any lingering Liverpool comeback ideas and Dembélé finished them off in added time, capping a flowing attack by Luis Enrique's men.
As it happened: Liverpool 0-2 Paris
