In a tense shootout, Nunez was one of two Liverpool players, alongside Curtis Jones, who saw their efforts denied by PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, which proved to be decisive.

However, Salah was noticeably absent from the group, instead standing alone on the halfway line with a stern expression and hands on his hips.
