'English Heist' read the headline on the front page of L'Equipe on Thursday morning and not even the most deluded Liverpool fan could argue with it.
Paris Saint-Germain were good value for a two or three-goal win in the Champions League last-16 first leg but ended up with nothing after Harvey Elliott struck with his first touch after coming on as a substitute.
Luis Enrique described his side's defeat as 'unfair' and claimed that football is 'often a game of injustice'. The Spanish coach's feeling was no doubt echoed by his troops as well as in several quarters of the French media.
