BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan all reached to the quarterfinals of the Champions League on Tuesday, while Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool went to extra time at Anfield.
PSG beat Liverpool 1-0 on the night to level the aggregate score at 1-1. Ousmane Dembélé scored 12 minutes into the second-leg match after a blunder by the Liverpool defense.
Barcelona cruised past Benfica with Raphinha scoring twice and Lamine Yamal once in a 3-1 win at home.
The Catalan club advanced 4-1 on aggregate score after last week’s 1-0 victory and will play either Borussia Dortmund or Lille in the quarterfinals.
After a 3-0 first-leg win, Bayern Munich had no trouble advancing past German rival Bayer Leverkusen, while Inter Milan moved on past Feyenoord after a comfortable 2-0 win in the first match.
Bayern made it to the last eight a record 23 times in the Champions League era after a 2-0 win at Leverkusen to advance 5-0 on aggregate, while Inter won 2-1 at home to move on with a 4-1 global score.
