PSG’s first goal should have been ruled out for offside.

Edinson Cavani was standing in an offside position when Angel di Maria whipped his cross from the left.

Cavani made it difficult for Liverpool to clear the ball, which deflected off left back Andrew Robertson and allowed Thomas Meunier to haul PSG back into the game.

These decisions are the hardest for assistant referees. 

Cavani was only just offside when the ball was played and looked onside a fraction of a second later.

Referee Cuneyt Cakir was spot on with his decision to award Liverpool a first-half penalty.

Georginio Wijnaldum was clearly tripped by Juan Bernat as the Liverpool midfielder ran into the area.
