    Madrid edge Atleti on penalties

    The quarter-final line up was completed in dramatic fashion on Wednesday evening with Real Madrid, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Borussia Dortmund joining Barcelona, Bayern, Inter and Paris in the last eight.  It went all the way in the Spanish capital, with Real Madrid squeezing past city rivals Atletico 4-2 on penalties after it finished 2-2 on aggregate after extra time – we hear from the winning goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The holders will play Arsenal in the quarter-finals after the London club comprehensively beat PSV 9-3 on aggregate, despite being held 2-2 in London on the night. Gunners manager Mikel Arteta is proud to reach a second successive Champions League quarter-final.  Aston Villa comfortably overcame 10-man Club Brugge 3-0 at Villa Park, to progress 6-1 on aggregate, and set up a tantalising last eight tie with Paris Saint-Germain - we get the thoughts of Villa’s matchwinner, and Paris loanee, Marco Asensio. And in the night’s early Round of 16 second leg, Dortmund recovered from an early Jonathan David goal to complete a hard fought 2-1 victory in Lille, to edge through 3-2 on aggregate and set up a mouthwatering match-up with Barcelona. We hear from David, Emre Can and Niko Kovac.

    Paris prevail on penalties at Anfield

    The shock of the night saw Paris Saint-Germain reverse their first leg defeat, beating Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield to take their tie into extra time, eventually prevailing 4-1 on penalties – goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma the Paris hero. It was a breathtaking match with 38 shots shared between the two sides despite just the one goal – we hear from the victorious Paris manager Luis Enrique as well as Liverpool’s Arne Slot and Virgil van Dijk.  Elsewhere there were comfortable wins for Barcelona, Bayern and Inter who all progressed to the quarte- finals at the expense of Benfica, Bayer Leverkusen and Feyenoord respectively. We hear from Barca manager Hansi Flick, Bayern striker Harry Kane and Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso. We also look ahead to Wednesday’s Round of 16 second legs, including a finely balanced Madrid derby at the Estadio Metropolitano and Aston Villa’s home tie against Club Brugge, a match Villa manager Unai Emery says he isn’t taking for granted despite holding a 3-1 aggregate lead.

    Real Madrid edge Atleti, Arsenal score seven

    A stunning start to the last 16 saw 17 goals shared amongst Tuesday’s four first leg encounters. It was a tightly contested Madrid derby with the defending champions edging neighbours Atleti 2-1 at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu thanks to a second half Brahim Diaz winner. Arsenal hit seven in Eindhoven to take full control of their Round of 16 tie against PSV – there were six different goalscorers for the Gunners and we hear from one of them, Dutch defender Jurrien Timber. It was a far tighter affair in Dortmund as Lille came back from a goal down to earn a hard fought 1-1 draw – the scorer of their equaliser and Player of the Match, Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, believes the home crowd could prove pivotal for his side in the second leg in France. And in the day’s early kick off in Brugge, Aston Villa scored two late goals to take a 3-1 first leg advantage back to Birmingham – we hear from their satisfied manager Unai Emery.  We also look ahead to Wednesday’s Round of 16 first legs, including a heavyweight clash at the Parc des Princes between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool, a match Reds boss Arne Slot says they are not taking lightly.

    Dortmund, Madrid, Paris and PSV complete Round of 16 picture

    The final four clubs confirmed their spots in the Round of 16 on Wednesday night. PSV needed extra time to complete the turnaround in the tie, beating Juventus 3-1 on the night, 4-3 on aggregate. In Madrid, the defending Champions put in another fine performance to defeat Manchester City 3-1, 6-3 on aggregate, thanks to a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappe. Meanwhile, Paris fired 7 goals past Brest, and although Dortmund were unable to break the deadlock against Sporting, their 3-0 advantage from the 1st leg was enough to see them through.

    Tuesday’s Knockout Phase play-off second legs went right down to the wire with red cards, late goals and plenty of drama.

We also look ahead to Wednesday’s second leg encounters with Man City manager Pep Guardiola telling us his side need to be on top of their game to overcome a first leg deficit against Real Madrid.
