Ousmane Dembele struck twice to ​confirm Paris St Germain's place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 2-0 victory over Liverpool on Tuesday, sealing a 4-0 aggregate win in their quarter-final tie at a rain-soaked Anfield, Reuters reported. 

The holders soaked up sustained second-half pressure from Liverpool, who were roared on by a raucous home crowd, but built on the advantage they established in the first leg in Paris last week to book their fifth semi-final berth in seven ​seasons.

Dembele scored at Anfield for a second successive campaign when he latched onto a ball from Bradley Barcola in ​the 72nd minute and curled a shot into the bottom corner past Giorgi Mamardashvili from 20 yards ⁠out. He completed his double early in stoppage time, slotting home a cross from Barcola.
