Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defeated Liverpool 4-1 on penalties and reach the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday, while Bayern Munich thrashed Bayer Leverkusen to complete a 5-0 win over both legs.
Lamine Yamal and Raphinha also fired Barcelona into the next round as the Catalans bested Benfica 3-1, and Inter Milan booked a last-eight meeting with Bayern by seeing off Feyenoord 2-1.
At Anfield, Ousmane Dembele netted the only goal of the night as PSG bounced back from Liverpool’s late winner last week to force the tie to extra-time and penalties.
Maligned for his weak attempted save at the Parc des Princes from Harvey Elliott’s strike, Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma produced two excellent saves in the penalty shoot-out to send the French champions into the last eight.
Donnarumma plunged first to his left to deny Darwin Nunez, before going low the other side to deny Curtis Jones, with his team-mates dispatching all of their penalties.
“It was a great performance. We really deserved to go through over the two legs, hands down,” PSG captain Marquinhos said after the game.
PSG will play either Aston Villa or Club Brugge in the next stage.

Already a goal to the good following the first leg, a Raphinha brace and a Yamal wonder-goal secured Barca a 4-1 aggregate win on Tuesday.
Hansi Flick’s side will face Borussia Dortmund or Lille in the quarter-finals as they aim to win the competition for the first time since 2015.
Italian champions Inter also progressed through the last 16 with a 4-1 aggregate victory.
Strikes by Marcus Thuram and Hakan Calhanoglu, either side of a Feyenoord consolation scored by Jakub Moder, gave them a 2-1 win at the San Siro.
