Champions League: PSG beat Liverpool; Barcelona, Bayern and Inter also win

## Champions League Round of 16: Upsets, Records, and Dominant Performances

The Champions League Round of 16 concluded with a dramatic mix of upsets, record-breaking performances, and dominant displays from established giants. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a thrilling victory over Premier League leaders Liverpool, while Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan comfortably advanced.

**PSG's Penalty Shootout Triumph Over Liverpool:**

In a tense encounter at Anfield, PSG edged past Liverpool in a penalty shootout following a 1-0 victory on the night. The aggregate score ended 1-1, sending the tie to penalties. Ousmane Dembele's goal, capitalizing on a defensive error 12 minutes into the second half, proved crucial for PSG. While Liverpool, dominating possession and hitting the post through Jarell Quansah, created numerous chances and forced several saves from Gianluigi Donnarumma, they couldn't break the deadlock. Mohamad Salah converted Liverpool's first penalty, but misses from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones, combined with Desire Doue's winning penalty – making him the youngest ever to score a winning penalty in a Champions League knockout game – sealed PSG's passage to the quarterfinals. Liverpool manager Arne Slot and midfielder Curtis Jones were pictured looking dejected after the defeat.

**Barcelona's Clinical Display against Benfica:**

Barcelona secured a comfortable 3-1 home victory over Benfica, progressing 4-1 on aggregate. Raphinha, the Champions League's top scorer with 11 goals, netted twice, while 17-year-old Lamine Yamal scored and assisted, becoming the youngest player to achieve this feat in a Champions League match. Yamal's performance, coupled with Nicolas Otamendi's goal for Benfica (making him the third oldest scorer in a Champions League knockout game), highlighted the age range on display. Barcelona will face either Borussia Dortmund or Lille in the quarterfinals.

**Bayern Munich and Inter Milan's Dominance:**

Bayern Munich continued their ruthless form, comfortably defeating Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 at the BayArena, securing a 5-0 aggregate win. Harry Kane, who scored his 10th Champions League goal of the season, was instrumental, scoring one and assisting another for Alphonso Davies. Bayern, reaching the quarterfinals for a record 23rd time in the Champions League era, will face Inter Milan in the next round.

Inter Milan also progressed, overcoming Feyenoord 2-1 at the San Siro (4-1 on aggregate). Marcus Thuram's stunning opener and Hakan Calhanoglu's penalty secured the win, despite Jakub Moder's penalty for Feyenoord.

**Looking Ahead:**

The Champions League quarterfinals promise exciting clashes, particularly the matchup between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. The tournament continues to showcase both established talent and emerging stars, promising a thrilling conclusion.
