Liverpool reminded the world why they are Premier League champions on Wednesday night, delivering a ruthless 4-0 victory over Galatasaray at Anfield.
The win, which secured a 4-1 aggregate triumph, sets up a mouth-watering Champions League quarter-final tie against the tournament holders, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

The night belonged to Mohamed Salah, who produced a vintage display to silence critics of manager Arne Slot.
Despite a first-half penalty miss, Salah scored twice and provided a brilliant assist for Hugo Ekitike, becoming the first African player in history to reach 50 Champions League goals.
Pundit Jamie Carragher described the display as a "big contrast" to the team’s recent slump, noting that Slot has finally unified the Anfield crowd.
"From start to finish we played the game I was hoping for," Arne Slot said after the match. "Mo and the team came out in the second half the way they did... that tells you a lot about his mental strength but definitely also of the team."
The statistics told a story of total dominance, with Liverpool recording an xG (expected goals) of 4.88 compared to Galatasaray's 0.18.
Forward Hugo Ekitike suggested the scoreline could have reached double figures. With Liverpool currently sitting fifth in the Premier League, this performance serves as a warning to both domestic rivals and upcoming European opponents that the Reds are back to their best.
