Paris Saint-Germain defeated Liverpool 2-1 at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday to put itself in a great position to qualify for the Champions League Round of 16. Liverpool, meanwhile, must now defeat Napoli at Anfield on Dec. 11 to have any chance of progressing. 

In the end, Liverpool’s vaunted attack only generated one shot on target, and PSG’s attacking trident of Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Edinson Cavani thoroughly outshone Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané on the night.

When Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo began reaching unprecedented levels of scoring about a decade ago, football writers around the world began struggling to come up with new superlatives to describe their brilliance. 

We know now that Messi and Ronaldo are two of the greatest to have ever played the game, completely deserving of whatever praise can be bestowed upon their footballing genius.
