Roma are leading by 1-0 in this fixture. Gianluca Mancini's early first-half goal was enough for De Rossi's side to stop AC Milan at the San Siro. Milan dominated possession and took more shots but wasn't clinical enough to score the equalizer and winner before going into a hostile away ground.

In the second leg, despite going down to 10 men, Roma secured a 2-1 victory to enter the semi-finals. Gianluca Mancini scored a header and Paulo Dybala's stunning strike proved good enough for them against AC Milan.

Benfica vs Marseille | 2-2: Marseille win 4-2 on penalties

Benfica won the home leg by 2-1 against a struggling Marseille side. Rafa Silva provided the home side with an early lead and Di Maria then doubled the lead in the second half. Benfica did dominate possession but couldn't kill the game and Aubameyang scored in the 67th minute to give Marseille something to fight for. But, the home side held upon the narrow lead and now they are heading in Marseille with that.

The second leg saw Faris Moumbagna levelling things up for Marseille in the 79th minute. But, then it was all about Pau Lopez who saved Antonio Silva's shot in the penalty shootout to take them to the semi-finals. Di Maria missed a penalty for Benfica too.

Bayer Leverkusen vs West Ham United | 3-1

Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen are playing on a different level. It looked like West Ham would stop the German Invincibles at their turf but Hoffman and Boniface turned things late in the game, scoring 2 goals to finish the home leg on high. West Ham created nothing at the Bay Arena while Leverkusen took 33 shots, and 13 were even on target. West Ham would consider themselves lucky that they didn't concede more than two before going into their home leg.

Jeremie Frimpong scored a late equaliser in the second leg to ensure the new Bundesliga Champions' winning run. That goal was enough to take Xabi Alonso's men to the semi-finals.

Their run for the European treble continues.

Liverpool vs Atalanta | 1-3

Atalanta beat Liverpool at Anfield by 3-0 in the first leg. Gianluca Scamacca struck twice as Atalanta stunned Liverpool at home. The visitors took the lead after Scamacca's grounded shot got past goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher in the 38th minute. Scamacca scored his second in the second half while Pasalic came up with the third of the night to take a healthy lead ahead of the second leg at home.

In the second leg, Mohamed Salah gave hope to the Liverpool fans with an early goal from the penalty spot, but the first-leg lead proved to be a huge one for them. Atlanta qualified for any UEFA semi-finals for the second time in their history.
