Curtis Jones’ Penalty Miss Seals Liverpool’s Exit, While Dessers Warns Rangers Ahead of Fenerbahce Clash
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones had a night to forget in the UEFA Champions League as he missed a crucial penalty during a tense Round of 16 clash against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield. The match ended 1-0 in favor of PSG after Ousmane Dembélé’s early goal, bringing the aggregate score to 1-1. With everything on the line in the penalty shootout, PSG’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made a key save against Jones, securing their team’s place in the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers has urged his teammates to stay sharp ahead of their second-leg showdown against Fenerbahce. The Scottish side holds a 3-1 advantage from the first leg, but Dessers remains cautious about their opponent’s ability to stage a comeback.
Speaking with Sky Sports, the Belgian-Nigerian striker emphasized the importance of staying proactive. “We’ve put ourselves in a strong position, but we know how dangerous Fenerbahce can be. They have a top coach and a history of turning games around in Europe,” he said.
Dessers insisted that Rangers must balance their approach, stating, “It’s not just about defending—we need to keep our attacking mindset and look for more goals while staying organized at the back.”
With a high-stakes battle at Ibrox on Thursday, Rangers will need to deliver a composed performance to book their place in the next round.
