This match has been so captivating that it's hard to believe 100 minutes have passed since Dembélé's opener!

We are headed into the last ten minutes barring any added minutes. Will any team be able to secure the coveted goal, or are we heading onto penalties?

Andy Robertson quickly regained the possession to send in a cross, but Nuno Mendes made a crucial clearance.

In: Lucas Beraldo

Out: Marquinhos

Alexis Mac Allister gets booked for a foul.

That was a lively attack from Liverpool but Andy Robertson's ultimate strike was too poor to beat Donnarumma.

Kvaratskhelia unleashed a powerful strike following a quick counter by PSG, but he miscued his shot as it went just high over the crosspiece!

The Reds salvaged a string of opportunities, as the first chip-in from Salah was punched off by Donnarumma, and he went on to make another consecutive stop to keep Diaz quiet following his strike.

This is getting ridiculous for Liverpool!

Robertson delivered the set-piece free-kick into the box as Quansah guided his header on target, but the ball only rattled the far post and came back to play, rolling right in front of the goal-line.

However, during the follow-up attack, Quansah was flagged for offside.

Quansah had his first attempt to score following a corner, but he guided his header wide off the near post.

If a goal is not scored from either side in the upcoming 20 minutes, the game will head into an extra time play. Can Liverpool salvage a draw at Anfield with a late strike, or is it PSG who will take the pride with another insurance goal? 

In: Désiré Doué

Out: Bradley Barcola

Salah almost sprinted into the penalty area as Nuno Mendes seemingly pushed him down inside the box. Huge appeal from the Reds, but referee István Kovács indicated to continue the play.

Following a corner, Donnarumma punched the ball away, sending it in Salah's feet, who sliced a fierce strike from close to the goal on the right, but Kvara endured some defensive duty with a brilliant goal-line block!

Following a Mac Allister corner, Luis Diaz kept his header on target, but Donnarumma totally outstretched himself on his right to execute a crucial save, keeping the Reds goalless so far!

Szoboszlai unleashed another strike from the middle of the box, but Pacho intervened wit his right foot, leading to a spectacular block!

This is peak UCL night!

Diaz sent a crossfield pass to Arnold in the middle, who flashed a powerful strike that was punched down by Donnarumma. The rebound was quickly anticipated by Arnold again, who took another strike from the middle of the penalty area, which only rattled the right post and came off back to the play.

Following another pass from Diaz from the left, Szoboszlai slotted him home! The Anfield crowd erupts in joy, but the goal was disallowed as Diaz was flagged for offside!

Marguinhos gets a booking for a foul on Diaz.

Dembele spiralled a left-footed curler from just outside the box, but Konate intervened with his left foot, resulting in a deflection.

Kvara entered the box from the left in a speedy attack, trying to find some space as he attempted to dribble past his markers, but took a quick strike on the half-turn that was easily grabbed by Alisson.

Ousmane Dembele again orchestrated another attack from the right flank as he delivered a low grounder right into the middle of the penalty area, but Kvaratskhelia fired the ball just inches over the crossbar!

Dembele looked to be dangerous from running down the middle. He sprinted onwards but Alisson made a timely outing to collect the ball, denying the French forward from having a firm strike. 

Since a rapid first 20 minutes, the tempo of the game has slightly dropped. Liverpool looked to have lost a bit of rhythm overall, but the team is pushing to their best for the coveted opener.

These last couple of minutes have been stressful for the home side, but they are continually pushing to open their account tonight. Jota got the closest to a goal in this phase, but his header went over the crosspiece. Liverpool are pushing, surrounded by the loud chants from the spectators at Anfield.

Ousmane Dembélé has scored 21 goals in 16 appearances across all competitions in 2025, the most of any player in Europe's big five leagues.

Ousmane Dembélé equalizes the match with his 7th UCL goal, making it his 29th goal of the season.

That was a dangerous counter-attack by PSG from down the middle, as Neves carried it up to the box and Bradley Barcola went past Dijk but before taking a strike, Alisson came forward to deny the ball and colected it.

Ibrahima Konate lodged a cracker from a long distance, but Donnarumma made a calm collection.

Wilian Pacho and Achraf Hakimi made a double covering, forcing Diaz to fire the shot off target from inside the box.

Virgil Van Dijk powered a header from the middle, but Neves blocked it well. After a swift string of passes, Szoboszlai fired the final strike way over the crossbar.

Luis Diaz dribbled past the defender on the left, hoped to deliver a pin-point cross, but got deflected away.

Mohamed Salah is looking very sharp already! He entered the penalty area from the right, sweeping himself past the opposition defenders, but the inswing curler went just wide off the left-post.

Alexis Mac Allister cracked down the PSG defence on the left, before sending a grounded effort into the box which soared past the players in the middle. Salah anticipated it on the right, but his shot on target was blocked, thanks to a massive block from Nuno Mendes!

Andy Robertson stayed alert to clear off a danger following a cross from Fabián Ruiz.

The game is underway at Anfield!

Declan Rice scored two stunning free-kicks and Mikel Merino kept his form against Real Madrid intact to hand Arsenal a huge 3-0 advatnage in the first leg. 

Real Madrid did not look at their best at Emirates Stadium. But, under the lid at Santiago Bernabeu, they can be a lethal team. 

Arsenal are now ubeaten in 9 games across compettions since losing against West Ham United at home. Since then Arteta's men have beaten teams like Chelsea in Premier League and Real Madrid in Champions League. 

Though they have gone through a few injuries in the recent past, they have been one of the better sides offlate. Not only that, they have scored the third most goals in this season's Champions League (28). Only Barcelona (36) and Bayern Munich (29) have scored more goals than them.

In recent time, Real Madrid have failed to get going. They have faced defeat against Valencia in La Liga and then lost the first leg against Arsenal in Champions League as well. 

In the Copa del Rey semis, they drew against Real Sociedad 4-4 till the extra time and then went on to win the game on aggregate. 

So, overall, they Spanish giants have not been at their best. 

Do you know Real Madrid have not beaten Arsenal in Champions League yet. Although they are the team to beat 144 teams in the Champions League so far, Arsenal do not come in that list. 

Not only that, Real Madrid are yet to score a single goal against Arsenal. 

So far, these two teams have played three matches against each other. Arsenal have won twice and drwan once. 

With a seating captacity of 78,297, Santiago Bernabeu is Spain's second largest football stadium. It has hosted four European Cup/UEFA Champions League finals in the past. Moreover, it is also the first stadium to host final of both Euro Cup and FIFA World Cup. 

It has been home of Real Madrid since 1947.

Even Urbing came into the opposition box for the crucial free-kick from Kimmich, but Bayern have messed it up. They took an unconventional approach, but a heavy touch from Gnabry gave Inter defender breathing space to buckle things up. Olise and Muller's efforts also went to waste.

A slight miscommunication between Inter defenders and Sommer led to some errors, forcing Sommer to make a clueless punch to delay the fanger. Harry Kane anticipated a second ball and attempted a first-time volleyed strike from inside the box that skies way over the bar!

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?

That's quite the turnaround from the home side. A couple of minutes after still finding themselves 1-0 down, Inter have flipped the contest and now lead 2-1. Çalhanoğlu swings in the corner and Pavard - making his 50th Champions League appearance against the side for whom he made his first 34 - heads in from close range.

Çalhanoğlu and Darmian both had attempts on target from inside the box, but Kim and Dier made two consecutive blocks.

And just like that, Inter Milan are back in business!

What a response from them! 

Six minutes after falling behind, the hosts are level again and their aggregate lead is restored too. The ball drops to Inter's all-time leader scorer in this competition after his own header comes off Kimmich and he drills in a ferocious leveller from close range.

Stanisic dummied the pass from Olise on the right, leaving it open for Muller on the left, but his right-footer soared just over the bar!

Bayern are looking for a quick second goal to lead in this tie.

Against the flow of the play, Thuram carried out a solo counter-attack.

However, he moved closer to the goal with a cut-in inside the box before slicing a right-footed strike on target that was well-grabbed by Urbig.

Harry Kane has torn down Inter's defence apart out of nowhere!

The forward received the ball on the right side of the box and fooled Dimarco with a composed grounder that slotted home through the bottom-left corner.

The tie is all square now.

Thuram fired into the box from the left side of the box, and was seemingly pushed down by Laimer.

Despite a loud appeal from Inter players, the referee signalled to continue the play.

Eric Dier, another Bayern center-half, is also on the bookings after a foul on... yes, Marcus Thuram, again.

Harry Kane won the duel inside the box, explored some free space in front of him, but failed to find his teammates with his pass from a very tough angle on the left.

Following a corner, Sane attempted an acrobatic effort at goal, but the volley did not have much power to beat Sommer.

What an impeccable resilience from Inter players!

Mkhitaryan blocked a close-range shot from Muller that followed an attempt from Sane, which was also blocked by Matteo Darmian. The last attempt from Sane was somehow palmed over the bar by Sommer.

Barella brilliantly set up the ball for Dimarco on the left with a crossfield pass, which Dimarco passed back to Çalhanoğlu in front of the box. The Inter midfielder unleashed his trademark, a rocketed long-range strike, which missed the right post by inches!

Dimarco crossed it into the box from the free-kick on the left, as Acerbi sliced it to the far post with a swift touch. Thuram also tried to reach the ball, but missed it by a whisker, and the ball rolled inches wide off the target!

Kim Min-Jae receives the first yellow of this game for a harsh sliding tackle on Thuram.

Yann Sommer made no mistake in coming off the line in time and collecting the cross from an Olise corner.

Alessandro Bastoni shows his composure with the ball, but this time, in an attacking opportunity.

He danced through the left side of the box before launching a shot that deflected off Dier and went over the bar, resulting in a corner.

While building the attack, Marcus Thuram looks to have sustained an injury inside the box.

He is down, and the game has stopped.

As expected, the tussle has been quite physical so far. Bayern have committed three fouls so far, whereas Inter have committed just one.

Despite that, we can see neck-to-neck fights to win every ball.

Olise received a long ball from Muller in the middle of the box, standing in a one-on-one situation against Sommer. However, Bastoni made a timely tackle to deny him from taking a strike.

Such a brilliant build-up from Inter!

Marcus Thuram carried the ball up to the box, from where he passed it to a triggering Dimarco on the right. The full-back unleashed a powerful left-footed half-volley on target, but Urbig looked confident with his grab.

Muller received the ball in the middle of the box following a sublime Bayern build-up, but Sommer collected his grounded strike on a half-turn.

Following a flashy flick from Muller, Olise received the ball inside the box and took a left-footed shot, but Benjamin Pavard, the ex-Bayern man, made a crucial block.

Mkhitaryan attempted an open strike from the edge of the box that Goretzka blocked. Following that, Lautaro's shot was well-claimed by Urbig.

Bayern start things off at the San Siro!

List of players who might get suspended in a potential semi-final first leg if they receive any booking tonight.

Thomas Müller starts tonight and extends his record as the player with the most Champions League appearances for one single club. 👀

Bayern will be without Jamal Musiala for the rest of the season, which opens the door for Raphael Guerreiro to potentially start as the number 10 again after his impressive performance off the bench against Dortmund. Although Thomas Müller scored after being introduced from the bench last week, Guerreiro's contribution may earn him a starting spot.

Young goalkeeper Jonas Urbig will start again as Manuel Neuer's return date has been pushed back to the end of April at the earliest. The team is also facing a number of absentees in defense, with Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, and Hiroki Ito all sidelined due to injury.

Serge Gnabry is putting pressure on Leroy Sané for a starting position after scoring off the bench in the recent draw against Dortmund. However, it is likely that coach Vincent Kompany will stick with Sané in this match, especially with Kingsley Coman also available for selection.

Inzaghi made minor rotations to his Inter team over the weekend, allowing players like Marcus Thuram, Alessandro Bastoni, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to rest in preparation for the second leg. 

Mehdi Taremi has returned from a muscle injury and was on the bench for the match against Cagliari, while Kristjan Asllani will also be available again after serving a European suspension. However, both are expected to start as substitutes. 

Piotr Zielinski and Denzel Dumfries remain sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, Inzaghi faces a decision at left wing-back, as Federico Dimarco has regained full fitness, but Carlos Augusto is currently playing exceptionally well.

An electric game ended in Inter Milan's favour as the Italian club scored a late winner to earn a 2-1 away victory over Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

Cesare Augusto and Marcus Thuram combined to set up a beautiful trivela goal from Lautaro Martinez, the Nerrazzuri skipper, in the 38th minute. Inter led at the break, but after a couple of wasted opportunities from both sides, Thomas Muller pulled off the equalizer for Bayern in the 85th minute, only ten minutes after coming off the bench.

Tournament: UEFA Champions League 2024-25 Quarter-final Second Leg

Date: 17 April 2025

Time: 12:30 AM IST

Venue: San Siro Stadium, Milan, Italy

Not a great night for FC Barcelona as a team but they got what they wanted. They reach the Champions League semi-final for the first time since 2019. 

Despite a hat-trick from Guirassy, who now has 12 goals in this seaons's Champions League, Dortmund could not recover the defeat in Barcelona in frist leg. 

This game proved that Barcelona are not invincible; they can be beaten. This is Hansi Flick's team's first defeat in 2025 but they would love to forget this match and move on to the next one. 

The treble dream is on for them. 

Barcelona will face either of Inter Milan or FC Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. 

We will see you in the semis. Till then, take care and good night. Thank You. 

🇩🇪 | Gave it their all!

Goal by Brandt. But, he is offside,

Second hat-trick for Guirassy this season. 

Duranville did a great job to first keep the ball inside and then make a entry before making an attempt. 

Araujo cleared the ball poorly and Guirassy just had to tap the ball inside the goal.

Dortmund 3-1 Barcelona (3-5 agg)

Raphinha made a quick cut back inside the box and then went for a shot with his left foot.

In: Duranville, Reyna

Out: Beier, Nmecha

A huge chance for Fermin again. But, he skyed the ball up from close range and wasted the chance. 

Fermin Lopez missed the chance as Barcelona now look far better side with Pedri in the middle.

De Jong gave away the ball and that handed Beier a chance to go deep with the ball and go for a shot from right. 

He hit the sidenet though. 

In: Pedri

Out: Gavi

Yellow card for Nmecha for a foul on Gavi.

Fermin Lopez with a quick, low cross from right. Though it was meant for Lewandowski, Bensebaini tried to block the cross and unfortunately, sent the ball inisde the goal. 

Dortmund 2-1 Barcelona (2-5 agg)

First shot on target for Barcelona. 

Araujo's timid attempt is saved by Kobel.

A deep corner from Gross and Bensebaini headed the ball towards the goal from far post. Guirassy just had to head the ball inside for his second of the night. 

Dortmund 2-0 Barcelona (2-4 agg)

Double save from Szczęsny. He first denied Adeyemi with his left foot and then he stopped Gorss' attempt.

No changes from either team.

Barcelona will be the happier one to listen the whistle. They have looked shaky and rusty. 

Dortmund would have liked one more goal in the first half but they kept on producing chances the entire half. 

Will we see changes from Barcelona? Surely, we will see more speed and tactical changes from Flick.

2 minutes have added as injury time as Yamal's appeal for a handball inside the box gets declined.

In a counterattack Beier made a quick run and made an effort to find Adeyemi on the left with a cross. 

Araujo did well to make a run and block that cross. Corner for Dortmund.

Huge miss from Kounde, as he made a run from behind to recieved a lobbed ball from De Jong. 

A striker could have scored from this ball. A poor first touch and Kobel was able to make the save. 

Save from Szczęsny again as Adeyemi made a quick run on the left and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot from the left.

Szczęsny was quick to get down to his left to make the save. 

Yellow card for Frenkie de Jong for a foul on Nmecha.

Great ball play from Gavi and Lewandowski to find Raphinha at the edge of the box, making a run with the ball. 

However, after a poor touch, he lost the ball. 

Raphinha concedded the free-kick from the edge of the box. Gross took the free-kick and Beier's header went straight to Szczęsny. Althogh he was alredy offside.

Chance for Barcelona to find the net. But, Lewandowski's pass to Fermin Lopez found him in an offside position. 

Barcelona are settling down after a very shaky first 25 minutes. 

Raphina and Lamine Yamal looked in postion now. But, still, Lamine has not looked at his best though.

Bensebaini did well there jump highest and win the ball off a corner from the left. End the end it was an easy grab for Szczęsny.

Cool and calm. Guirassy goes down the middle to score his 26th goal of the season. 

Dortmund 1-0 Barcelona (1-4 agg.)

Gross makes a quick entry to recieve a pass from Adeyemi and Szczęsny came running in and fouled him.

After a VAR check, the penalty was given. 

Curciual moments of the game. Dortmund need to score early to put pressure on Barcelona. 

They have looked good but Guirassy misses another chance from close range.

Adeyemi's pass and a cross from the left gave Guirassy a chance to side foot the ball into the goal. Chance gone begging for Dortmund.

Beier takes a chance from outside the box. Easy save for Szczęsny

Barcelona in red and blue, kicks off things. 

Dortmund are in their yellow and black.
