📸 Ekitike stretchered off as Liverpool curse strikes once again 😓
Needing to turn around a 2-0 deficit to holders PSG tonight at Anfield, Arne Slot rolled the dice and started Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike together for just the second time.

In their previous outing together, Liverpool's new "big three" lasted just 45 minutes before Isak came off. The club-record signing has lasted just a half tonight too with his fitness not yet right after his leg break.
