I honestly did no see this coming. PSG ertainly is a stronger team than it was a few years ago and is playing some real football. However, after winning the first leg, I was convinced that the Reds would also manage to get this tie sorted. Well, I guess it's likely "only" the Premier League title for Liverpool then.

I felt that they were pretty bad in the first leg, the difference between the number of shots for the first leg was insane, a lesser keeper and they would have been 3 or 4 down. Second leg they played much better, to be expected with the switch to playing at home.
Overall PSG were the better side.
Exactly. That's what convinced me that Liverpool would edge past PSG. Normally no team that steals a result on an off day and then improves in the second leg goes out. This match showed that this feeling was premature.
Imagine topping the table only to be rewarded with facing a top 3 team in Europe in R16.
To be fair, PSG were not playing like a top 3 team at the start of the season. It is only later on that the team clicked.
Also to win a title, you should have to beat the best. No use crying about it.
The improvement has been amazing. 6 months ago a bunch of people on r/PSG were calling for Enrique to be fired.
