FOOTBALL – PARIS St Germain beat Liverpool 4-1 in a penalty shootout to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals after winning a rip-roaring last-16 second-leg match at Anfield 1-0 last night thanks to a goal from Ousmane Dembele.
After the tie had finished 1-1 on aggregate, PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saved spot kicks from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones, while the visitors converted all of their efforts.
PSG will meet either Aston Villa or Club Brugge in the quarters, with Villa taking a 3-1 lead into tonight’s second leg.
Dembele stunned the Anfield crowd with his 12th-minute goal against the run of play. Ibrahima Konate slid in to block Bradley Barcola’s effort but pushed the ball away from goalkeeper Alisson in the process, and Dembele needed only to knock it into an empty net.
Inter Milan beat Feyenoord 2-1 to advance comfortably into the quarter-finals with a 4-1 aggregate win.
Serie A leaders Inter will face Bundesliga table toppers Bayern Munich, who beat Bayer Leverkusen 5-0 on aggregate, in the quarter-finals next month.
Earlier, Raphinha scored twice and Lamine Yamal netted with a stunning strike as a superb Barcelona dismantled Benfica 3-1, advancing to the quarter-finals with a 4-1 aggregate victory.
