PSG won the first-leg of their quarterfinal 2-0 thanks to goals from Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Gerrard felt Konate could've done better for Doue's goal. "They could have been better around the halfway line, you can see PSG have dragged them out of shape. Konate could have done better winning his duel. You look at the backline now, it's all out of sync," he said on TNT Sport. "Again, they get up to the ball quick enough, there's enough bodies. They're not being passive, they're getting around it. They end up with four people around it when he cuts back in but no one gets tight enough and they get that cruel deflection and it makes them go a goal down." Gerrard also was critical of Reds goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. "Maybe he could have been a foot or a yard further back, there's no reason maybe for him to be that high," Gerrard added. "It is unfortunate and probably being slightly cruel, but if you step outside of the goalkeeper's union, you can say maybe he could have been that little bit further back. Then he might have been able to tip it over the bar."
