Liverpool fans were in a hurry after Marco Verratti of Paris St Germain escaped the red card for his reckless challenge to Joe Gomez in the first half of the match tonight.
Dragging 1-0 and looking away from their best, it appeared that Liverpool would at least have the advantage of a man advantage.
However, after looking for everyone as he knew the worst was going to happen, Marco Verratti received a yellow card while Gomez looked at him incredulously.

Many viewers were left a little puzzled as to how the Italian midfielder had escaped a red.
Shameful challenge. Ashamed not to send him away. Could have broken @ J_Gomez97is the leg. #LFC #PSG #PSGLIV #UCL #Champions League #Verratti pic.twitter.com/5cj47P0ZDQ

Verratti in a nutshell: brilliant and technical pace to dance in the Liverpool press and drop the ball, then commits a horrible red card challenge during the pursuit of the return. So smart and yet so sometimes without brains

Nasty tackle from Verratti. Should have been a red card

If Gomez had rolled like Neymar a few minutes earlier, Verratti would definitely be gone. #PSGLFC

Should have been red for Verratti. Bad tackle. High and late.

Fucking red cardboard all night it breaks the leg, if I've ever seen one, dirty verratti.

Even the club's Twitter account felt compelled to edit the challenge.

From there, the Liverpool night has not improved much.
With Alisson repeatedly called in the action, the second goal came after another rescue the Brazilian fell into the path of Neymar.
His international teammate had little to do other than pbad the empty goal. Appearing comfortably in the lead, a consolation at the end of the half resulted in a penalty; James Milner finished well to reduce the score to 2-1.
