Cruel twist

REAL MADRID HAVE BEATEN ATLETICO MADRID ON PENALTIES!!

But wow, what way to decide such a highly-charged tie, with Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez's spot-kick registered as a miss despite striking the ball into the net.

But when kicking the ball, the former Manchester City star slipped and inadvertently kicked it twice before he beat Thibaut Courtois.

Atleti goalkeeper Jan Oblak saved a penalty to deny Lucas Vazquez but Marcos Llorente striking the crossbar allowed Antonio Rudiger to squeeze in the winning penalty.

Real Madrid's reward for their win is a quarter-final date with Arsenal.

The match was taken to extra time with Diego Simeone's men winning 1-0 on the night through Conor Gallagher's goal after just 27 seconds.

Vinicius Junior skied a penalty in the second half after Kylian Mbappe was fouled, but in the end it was Atleti who paid the penalty.

Job done

Arsenal and Aston Villa have sealed their places in the Champions League quarter-finals with both sides enjoying stress free evenings.

A much-changed Gunners side played out a 2-2 draw at home to PSV Eindhoven, going through 9-3 on aggregate.

An Oleksandr Zinchenko piledriver put Arsenal ahead on six minutes but they were pegged back by Ivan Perisic's tidy finish.

Declan Rice nodded Mikel Arteta's men back in front just before the break before Couhaib Driouech ensured the spoils were shared on the night.

Arsenal will face the winners of the Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid tie, which is going to extra time with the tie 2-2 at aggregate with Conor Gallagher's strike after 27 seconds giving Diego Simeone's men a 1-0 win after the 90.

Villa, meanwhile, breezed to a 3-0 win over Club Brugge, going through 6-1 on aggregate.

A brace from Marco Asencio and Ian Maatsen's deflected effort in the second half saw Villa through to the quarters.

They will face Paris Saint-Germain, who got the better of Liverpool on penalties last night.

GOAL - Aston Villa 3-0 Club Brugge (6-1 agg)

IT'S PARTY FOOTBALL FROM VILLA!

Marco Asensio is loving life at Villa Park, the Spaniard bagging his second of the night to put Aston Villa well on the way to the quarter-finals.

The strike, a low effort with his weaker right foot from close range, is his seventh goal in eight appearances for the club.

Elsewhere, Arsenal have been pegged back to a 2-2 draw at home to PSV Eindhoven, meaning Arsenal are 9-3 up on aggregate.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid have missed a glorious chance to go ahead against Atletico Madrid on aggregate with Vinicius Junior skying a penalty at the Wanda Metropolitano.

GOAL - Aston Villa 2-0 Club Brugge (5-1 agg)

ASTON VILLA HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE QUARTER-FINALS!!

That should be that with Marco Asensio and Ian Maatsen scoring against ten-man Club Brugge.

Asensio fired into the roof of the net after being picked out with an intricate through ball by Leon Bailey.

And their second of the night came just moments ago when Maatsen fired in from close range after fancy footwork by Morgan Rogers.

Villa fans, looks like you can start booking your tickets for Paris.

Half time

It's half time in all of tonight's Champions League matches, and it's looking good for the Premier League teams.

Arsenal are 2-1 up against PSV Eindhoven, 9-2 on aggregate, thanks to goals from Oleksandr Zinchenko and Declan Rice.

It's 0-0 at Villa Park with Aston Villa on track to book their place in the quarter-finals, having beaten Club Brugge 3-1 in the first leg in Belgium last weekend.

The flashpoint of the relatively uneventful match saw Brugge defender Kyriani Sabbe get sent off for bringing down Marcus Rashford with the Villa loanee through on goal.

Things are hotting up in Madrid with the Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid tie locked at 2-2 on aggregate with Conor Gallagher's strike just 27 seconds into the Wanda Metropolitano putting the home side ahead on the night.

GOAL - Arsenal 2-1 PSV Eindhoven (9-2 agg)

DECLAN RICE IS ON THE GOAL TRAIL

After his fine effort during their draw to Manchester United, Rice has got himself another goal.

This time it was a header as the midfielder nodded home a searching cross from the right by Raheem Sterling to give Arsenal the lead on the night.

The goal was a record-breaking moment for assist provider Sterling, who becomes the first English player to be involved in at least one goal for four different clubs in the Champions League.

Sterling had previously managed to contribute in the Champions League for Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Arsenal are chasing a record of their own with one more goal seeing them equal the highest winning margin in a Champions League tie.

They'd equal City, who beat Schalke in the last 16 of the 2018/19 season, 10-2 on aggregate.

GOAL - Arsenal 1-1 PSV Eindhoven (8-2 agg)

Arsenal have been pegged back, not that it'll have much effect on deciding the victor of the last 16 tie.

Although a bug bear for Gunners fans will be the fact that PSV's equaliser has comes from a player who used to play for Tottenham.

A tidy finish by Ivan Perisic, who was a Spurs player between 2022-24, has seen the Dutch side go level on the night following a rocket of an opener by Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Just the six goals without reply for PSV to get now!

Should Arsenal get the job done as expected, they'll face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals.

GOAL - Arsenal 1-0 PSV Eindhoven (8-1 agg)

WHAT A HIT, SON!

Just in case there was any doubt over whether Arsenal would book their place in the quarter-finals, they now have a seven-goal advantage in their tie.

An unlikely source for the opener at the Emirates Stadium with Oleksandr Zinchenko scoring a superb goal from distance.

The left-back is playing in midfield tonight with Mikel Arteta making seven changes to the XI that started during Arsenal's 1-1 draw at Manchester United last weekend.

GOAL - Atletico Madrid 1-0 Real Madrid (2-2 agg)

THE STANDOUT TIE OF THE LAST 16 IS ALL SQUARE!

Atletico Madrid have taken the lead inside the first minute of the second leg clash against Real Madrid, to level the tie at 2-2 on aggregate.

The goalscorer is an unlikely one indeed with Conor Gallagher scrambling the ball home.

Former Chelsea midfielder Gallagher put the ball in from close range as he reacted first to a deflected low cross from the right by Antoine Griezmann.

This is just Gallagher's third goal for Atletico Madrid, and no doubt his most important one to date.

It's an historic strike for Gallagher too. Having scored after just 27 seconds this is the fastest goal scored by an Englishman in Champions League history.

Full time - Lille 1-2 Borussia Dortmund (2-3 agg)

Borussia Dortmund will meet Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals as they claimed a turnaround win over Lille.

After the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in Germany last week, it was advantage Lille at half time as they led 1-0 through Jonathan David's sixth-minute strike.

David's effort trundled between the legs of Gregor Kobel in a hairy moment for the Dortmund goalkeeper.

The Bundesliga giants had plenty of chances to get level before the break but for some super goalkeeping by Lucas Chevalier making great saves.

Meanwhile, Brazilian defender Alexsandro cleared a goalbound shot off the line with Chevalier beaten.

But Dortmund got their equaliser through Emre Can's emphatic penalty before a thunderous strike by Maximilian Beier denied the French outfit their first ever Champions League quarter-final.

Confirmed

Aston Villa are eyeing a Champions League quarter-final date with Paris Saint-Germain and continue their European fairytale.

In order to do that they need to preserve their 3-1 lead against Club Brugge ahead of the second leg at Villa Park tonight.

The Gunners have a six-goal advantage going into the second leg at the Emirates Stadium tonight having thumped the Dutch side 7-1 in last week's first leg.

Only David Raya, Gabriel, Declan Rice and Mikel Merino have kept their place in the starting XI from their draw at Manchester United last weekend.

The winner of this tie, which let's face it will be Arsenal, face either Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

GOAL - Lille 1-2 Borussia Dortmund (2-3 agg)

DORTMUND HAVE TURNED THIS TIE AROUND!!

The German side had plenty of opportunities to level in the first half after Jonathan David's early opener, but now they're on the verge of a place in the quarter-finals.

Dortmund got their equaliser on 54 minutes when former Liverpool star Emre Can struck home a penalty with an emphatic strike.

And moments ago Maximilian Beier put Dortmund ahead on the night and on aggregate with 65 minutes played.

A reminder, the winner of the tie will face Barcelona in the quarter-finals.

Half time - Lille 1-0 Borussia Dortmund (2-1 agg)

Lille are 45 minutes away from a first ever Champions League quarter-final.

They lead Borussia Dortmund 1-0, and 2-1 on aggregate, at the Stade Pierre Mauroy courtesy of Jonathan David's goal on six minutes.

An attack down the left saw the ball get crossed to David, who struck straight at Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, only for the ball to trundle through his legs and into the net.

Dortmund have asked plenty of questions though with Lille keeper Lucas Chevalier making saves, including multiple stops during an almighty goalmouth scramble that somehow didn't result in an equaliser.

Meanwhile, Brazilian defender Alexsandro cleared a goalbound shot off the line with Chevalier beaten.

GOAL - Lille 1-0 Borussia Dortmund (2-1 agg)

The French side strike first blood in the second leg through Jonathan David's opener on six minutes.

But it's some very questionable goalkeeping from Gregor Kobel as David's meek strike rolls through his legs and into the net.

After the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg at the Westfalenstadion, it's Lille who will be going through as things stand.

The winner of this tie will come up against Barcelona, who got the better of Benfica, in the quarter-finals.

Feast of football

After a classic night of Champions League action we have some more mouth-watering fixtures on the continent.

Aston Villa will be looking to finish the job against Club Brugge as they take on the Belgian side, live on talkSPORT tonight at 8pm.

Arsenal are almost certain to finish the job against Dutch outfit PSV Eindhoven with the Gunners boasting a 7-1 advantage going into tonight's second leg at the Emirates Stadium.

It'll be a tight affair at the Wanda Metropolitano, with Real Madrid 2-1 up on aggregate against inner-city rivals Atletico Madrid.

Meanwhile, the early kick-off sees Lille lock horns against Borussia Dortmund with the two level at 1-1 on aggregate.

Lille: Chevalier, Meunier, Diakite, Alexsandro Victor, Ismaily, Mukau, Andre, Bouaddi, Cabella, David, Arnar Haraldsson

Subs: Mannone, Caillard, Mandi, Gudmundsson, Gomes, Sahraoui,

Fernandez, Bakker, Akpom, Andre Gomes, Mbappe, Cossier

Subs: Meyer, Yan Couto, Bensebaini, Ozcan, Reyna, Duranville, Chukwuemeka, Sule, Watjen, Kabar, Bynoe-Gittens, Lisewski

Injury updates

Liverpool manager Arne Slot also provided injury updates on Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ibrahima Konate.

The England international limped off after going over on his ankle midway during the second half.

Meanwhile, Ibrahima Konate could barely move as he left the field in extra time.

However, ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United, it's mixed news.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, he said: “Konate was just tired, but with Trent, I’d be surprised if he played on Sunday.”

'Incredible performance'

Liverpool manager Arne Slot was disappointed to see his side crash out of the Champions League, but he was delighted with the performance.

The Reds lost 1-0 on the night at Anfield, meaning they drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain on aggregate.

But the French giants won 4-1 on penalties.

However, despite losing, Slot was proud of his players.

Speaking to Amazon, he said: "It was the best game of football I have ever been involved in.

"It was an incredible performance, especially if you compare it with last week. We were creating chances and then we were 1-0 down. We ran out of luck after last week.

"We played the perfect game, except for scoring a goal. It was similar to Paris last week, when they played the perfect game. And then in extra time, they were maybe a little bit better."

Oh dear

Curtis Jones' missed penalty in the shootout means he equals a pretty unwanted record.

He becomes just the second Englishman to miss a penalty in a Champions League shootout.

The Liverpool midfielder saw his penalty stopped by Gianluigi Donnarumma during the 4-1 defeat on penalties for the Reds tonight at Anfield.

He now joins John Terry on that list.

Redemption

Last week, Gianluigi Donnarumma faced one shot on target, and he let it past him.

Many people argued that the Italian should have done much better with Harvey Elliott's strike after getting a hand to it.

But this was his redemption story.

Throughout the game, he made a succession of punches and clearances, and then in the penalty shootout, the Italian denied Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones.

He then spent a long time after the game celebrating with the PSG fans, and why not.

Coming of age

Paris Saint-Germain have always been a team that have flattered to deceive in the Champions League.

They've had some of the best footballers in the world represent them in over the past few years, but it always felt like a bunch of individuals rather than a team.

But this Luis Enrique side is very different.

The recruitment model has shifted to buying young and hungry players, and this was a night they came of age.

The penalties from all of the PSG players were out of this world, and they will be a match for anyone.

Liverpool 0-1 PSG (1-1) (1-4) - PSG THROUGH

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN HAVE DONE IT!

THEY HAVE KNOCKED LIVERPOOL OUT OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AT ANFIELD.

Desire Doue strides up and sends Alisson Becker the wrong way to spark wild scenes in the away end.

There will be no treble for Arne Slot in his first season as Liverpool boss.

On reflection, you would have to say that they deserve it.

Stay with us for all the reaction!

Liverpool 0-1 PSG (1-1) (1-3) - SAVED

He's done it again!

Curtis Jones goes to the right, and there is Gianluigi Donnarumma again!

So, it is all down to Desire Doue now!
