Liverpool's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain was a night to forget for the Reds, with one player's performance drawing particularly fierce criticism from the pundits.

The team struggled to create chances at the Parc des Princes, managing only three shots all match with none on target—a stat that tells the story of a frustrating evening.

While Jamie Carragher highlighted several players who needed to offer more, it was forward Hugo Ekitike who faced the harshest words from Gabby Agbonlahor on talkSPORT.

The former Aston Villa striker didn't hold back, branding the 23-year-old's display "an absolute disgrace," accusing him of being "lazy" and claiming "he didn't try."

It's a severe assessment, especially for a player who has largely been a success since joining Liverpool, contributing 17 goals in his debut season.

However, the statistics and post-match ratings underscored a poor night. The Liverpool Echo handed Ekitike a 5/10, noting his effort but criticizing "unnecessary fancy flicks" and cheap giveaways.

For a club with Liverpool's high standards, such performances in big European fixtures are always going to come under intense scrutiny. Ekitike will be eager to put this match behind him and rediscover the form that has made him a key part of the attack.
