Curtis Jones’ Defiant Response After PSG Penalty Miss

Liverpool’s Champions League campaign came to a painful end on Tuesday night, falling to Paris Saint-Germain in a dramatic penalty shootout at Anfield. Curtis Jones, who saw his effort from the spot saved, has responded defiantly, refusing to shy away from the moment.

Heartbreak at Anfield

Liverpool entered the second leg with a slender one-goal advantage, but the tie was quickly levelled when Ousmane Dembélé struck early for the visitors. Despite the Reds’ relentless pressure, the game remained locked at 1-1 on aggregate through extra time, setting the stage for a decisive shootout.

Mohamed Salah converted Liverpool’s first penalty, but misses from Darwin Núñez and Jones proved costly. PSG were clinical, as Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos, Dembélé, and Désiré Doué all found the net, securing a 4-1 shootout victory and sending the French side into the quarter-finals.

Jones Steps Up – And Speaks Out

Jones, who was introduced in extra time for Alexis Mac Allister, stepped up in the shootout but failed to convert. In the aftermath, he took to Instagram to share his thoughts, displaying resilience despite the disappointment.

“Stepping up & trying to help the team in every moment I can is the type of person that I am,” he wrote.

“This comes with risk and failing, last night I got a taste of that! I can live with missing, but I can’t live without taking the responsibility.

“10 to go. Starting with a cup final on Sunday!”

His words underline the mentality Liverpool’s academy graduate has always embodied—never one to shirk responsibility, even in the most pressurised moments.

Focus Shifts to Wembley

Jones’ final words signal that Liverpool’s attention has already turned to their next challenge. The Reds have a chance to bounce back quickly, with the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United looming on Sunday.

With Arne Slot’s side still in the hunt for silverware this season, Jones’ defiance will resonate in the dressing room. Liverpool have proved their ability to respond to setbacks before, and Wembley presents an immediate opportunity for redemption.
