Huge and important win for Barcelona in Paris. They go into the second leg with a 3-2 advantage and at Camp Nou, they will surely be more confident. Kylian Mbappe could not produce anything special. However, it was Dembele, who looked great against his former team. Raphinha with his first and second goal of his UCL career and Andreas Christensen, on his birthday produced a clutch goal to give them the lead. 

Barcelona conquer PSG in Paris 👏

Andreas Christensen gives Barcelona the lead. Gundogan with the corner and the substitute, who just came in minutes earlier, heads the ball in for Barcelona's third of the night. PSG 2-2 Barcelona.

Ferran Torres and Christensen come in to replace Raphinha and Frenkei de Jong.

Very close for PSG and Dembele. Excellent pass from Vitinha and Dembele just opens up and take a shot with his right foot to hit the post.

Barcelona make it equal. Raphinha with a great finish. Pedri, with his first touch of the match, sends in a great pass for Raphinha from the middle who volleys it past Donnarumma with his left foot. PSG 2-2 Barcelona 

Zaire-Emery in for Kang-in Lee for PSG. Felix and Pedri replaced Lamine Yamal and Sergi Roberto for Barcelona.

Barcola's right footed is punched away by Ter Stegen. 

Two goals in four minutes for PSG. Vitinha gives PSG the lead. What a turnaround in the second half. Vatinha received a brilliant pass from Fabian Ruiz and then just had to place the ball inside the goal for the goal. PSG 2-1 Barcelona. 

Dembele scores aganinst his former club. Kylian Mbappe did well to keep the ball and then the deflection fell on to the feet of Dembele who made a fool of Frankie de Jong with a turn and shot with his left-foot for the goal. It is all square in Paris. 

Vitinha goes wide with his right foot. 

Barcola comes in for Asensio for PSG.

No player made more clearances in the first half of PSG vs. Barcelona than Pau Cubarsí and no Barcelona player completed more passes (25/27).

Barcelona looked better in the first 45 minutes in Paris and they now lead by 1-0 at half-time. They created more chances and looked compact as well. PSG will surely have to bring more energy and speed to the game in the second half. It will be interesting to see if Enrique brings any changes in the second half or not considering Barcelona have been solid in the defence. 

Raphinha finds the net for Barcelona and the visitors lead in Paris. Robert Lewandowski with the attack for Barcelona from the middle of the pitch passed the ball to Lamine Yamal whose cross from the outside of the boot meant for Lewandowski was first deflected away by Donnarumma. However, the ball fell on the feet of the Brazilian who finished the job with style. PSG 0-1 Barcelona

Sergi Roberto gets the first yellow card of the match for a foul on Kylian Mbappe. He will miss the second leg.

An important interception by Sergi Roberto as Demeble's cross from the right was heading towards Mbappe. 

At 16 years and 272 days, Lamine Yamal is now the youngest player to play in UEFA Champions League quarter-final match.

A diving Donnarumma saves Raphinha's left-footed shot. Barcelona are looking good now. 

Ohhhh! The ball went in nearly. But, it was Nuno Mendes who did the dirty work to avoid the ball going over the line. It started with Raphinha making the run on the left and earning a corner. Lewandowski then jumped high enough to get a touch over Donnarumma. But Mendes came in to save PSG.

Nuno Mendes on the left just looked like Kylian Mbapee for a second as he dribbled through two defenders and then went for a shot with his left foot. However, his shot is blocked by Araujo.

Kylian Mbappe finds Barcelona defenders on the run again with the counterattack. But Barca's defenders did well to catch him and Kounde made the slide to block Mbappe's shot from left.

Ousmane Dembele, against his former club FC Barcelona makes a good run on the right in the counter attack. However, he failed to send the cross in for Kylian Mbappe, who was waiting inside the box. Cubarsi with the block for Barcelona and it goes for another corner. The second one for PSG.

Kylian Mbappe on the right takes a chance with his outside boot but it goes wide.

Till now in 13 games between these two teams, FC Barcelona won 5 times, PSG won 4 times and the match ended in a draw in 4 games.

Club Brugge had a lot of things to do away from home and they were already running behind the game when Kyriani Sabbe received the direct card in the 17th minute of the game.

However, Villa were not able to take advantage of that until Unai Emery made the substitution in the second half. 

Marco Asensio came and made it look easy to score two goals while Ian Maatsen scored one to hand Aston Villa a 3-0 lead which was enough for them to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since the 1982/83 season.

Villa now have become the 9th Premier League team to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League era. 

They will face Unai Emery and Marco Asensio's former club PSG in the quarter-finals.

Marco Asensio, on loan from PSG, could face his old team PSG in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25.

In a night like this Marcus Rashford would love to be on the scoresheet and score that first goal for Aston Villa.

Tielemans with a fine effort from the outside of the box. Mignolet had to dive to his left to deny him.

Disasi replaces Cash.

Vanaken gets the yellow card for a foul on Cash.

Cash was on target this time with a shot from outside the box. 

Mignolet was ready for that though.

Hugo Siquet replaces Christos Tzolis

Pau Torres replaces Tyrone Mings

Marcus Rashford with the assist this time. 

Rashford with a brilliant run and cutback for Asensio to put it to the back of the net with a sliding left-footed shot. 

Aston Villa 3-0 Brugge (6-1 agg)

Romero, Skóras, Nilsson and Nielsen came in for Club Brugge. 

Rogers produces lovely footwork before playing the ball across the area for Maatsen to tuck away.

Aston Villa 2-0 Club Brugge (5-1 agg)

Marco Asensio hits the right post with a left footed shot from the centre of the box

Asensio latches on to a ball over the top from Tielemans and, one-on-one against Mignolet, sees his low strike rebound off the base of a post.

Aston Villa 1-0 Brugge (4-1)

Mignolet makes a save as Mings was on target.

Club Brugge were fluid throughout the first half despite being down to 10 men.

0-0 at half-time and 3-1 on aggregate for Aston Villa. Although they did not look that great, they are in a commanding position and it would take a lot from the visitors to make it interesting in the second half. 

3 minutes have been added as the injury time. 

A bit rusty from Rashford as he volleyed one at the side of the net.

He is back though and no changes from the home team.

The English footballer is still outside the field as the referee resumes the play. He was limping though. 

Ollie Watkins has gone down. He is getting the medical attention.

Watkins has enough space to make a run. He passed the ball to Cash, who was tangled down by the Brugge defenders. 

Rogers then made a cutback to Maatsen, who went for a curling shot but missed the target completely. 

Easy grab for the Argentine goalkeeper. 

Talbi, the 19-year-old star tried to thread in a dipping ball from the outside of the box with his left foot. 

He has dropped a bit low to fill in the void made by Sabbe. Still, he has managed to make good runs and create some chances. 

Ordóñez was sharp to go around Waltkins to stop him from making the final move inside the box. 

Tzolis, Onyedika and De Cuyper have been solid for Brugge so far. The trio have been able to thread the ball inside the final third and also send some quality cross across the ground. 

Tielemans takes the free-kick and gets it over the the false wall. 

But, Mignolet was ready for the challenge and make the save. 

A direct red card for Sabbe. 

A long ball from Martinez for Rashford and Sabbe, who could not stop Rashford with his pace, brought the English striker down. 

Club Brugge are now down to 10 men. 

First view of Rahsford tonight. He had the chance to chip the ball over the incoming goalkeeper. 

But, Mignolet was quicker getting the ball before Rashford could do any damage.

Bright opening 10 minutes from the boys from Belgium. 

De Cuyper with a cut back from the left and Onyedika had a go at the goal with a powerful shot. 

But, Konsa came between to block the shot. 

Good start from the visitors here. 

A good cross from the left by De Cuyper, and Vanaken had the chance to find the net with a header. 

His header went left to the post. 

The first shot of the game comes from the visitors. 

A mistake from Matty Cash allowed Sabbe to go for the goal with a left-footed shot from outside the box.

He missed the target though.

The home fans chant "We shall not be moved" as both teams wait patiently for mistakes from the other team. Club Brugge enjoyed more possession of the ball so far.

Marcel Sabitzer puts up some defensive prowess, making a crucial clearance to deny David from having a strike!

The Dortmund defender received a booking for a foul.

In: Sahil Ozcan, Carney Chukwuemeka, Giovanni Reyna

Out: Pascal Gross, Julian Brandt, Maximilian Beier

Akpom attempts his first chance at goal, but his header bounced off the pitch as Kobel made an easy collection.

In: Andre Gomes, Osame Sahraoui

Out: Ngal'ayel Mukau, Hakon Haraldsson

Mukau is shown a yellow for a nasty foul.

Guirassy's 14 goal involvements in the Champions League this season (10 goals, four assists) is the joint-most by an African player in a single season in the competition alongside Mohamed Salah in 2017-18 (10 goals, four assists).

Jonathan David found a chance to bring Lille back into this tie with an effort from close to the six-yard box, but Kobel reacted quickly to make a good save on reflex!

In: Jamie Gittens

Out: Karim Adeyemi

Gudmundsson had an attempt to find the net from an almost 35-yard distance, but his strike soared way over the crossbar!

Julian Brandt almost sealed the advancement for Dortmund with a low strike from inside the box while advancing upwards on the left, but Meuneir made a great tackle to dispossess him off the ball.

However, Brandt was flagged for being in an offside position.

In: Matias Fernandez-Pardo

Out: Ayyoub Bouddadi

In: Ramy Bensebaini

Out: Waldemar Anton

In: Chuba Akpom, Gabriel Gudmundssson

Out: Remy Cabella, Ismaily

That a perfect screamer from the young Dortmund midfielder!

Ryerson dropped bodies in front of the box, before making a swift pass to Guirassy on the left. Guirassy passed it down to Beier, who dribbled past two defenders before finding the net from the left with a right-footed curler that went through the right top-bin! 

His first-ever goal in the Champions League, and what a moment to score it!

Dortmund are now leading in this tie!

Another masterful cross from Ryerson on the left, which was well-connected by Beier inside the box, but it sailed off target!

That was a blissful build-up from the visiting side, as Ryerson slid a grounded pass into the box, which was met by Adeyemi with a first-time strike, but the ball hit the woodwork!

Haraladsson unleashed a fierce long-ranger that almost entered the goal, but Kobel strongly punched it over the crossbar!

Ryerson had options in both flanks but decided to take an ambitious effort, but his long-ranger from a distance sailed way over the crossbar!

Emre Can has calmly done the job, slotting it home with a powerful shot through the middle of the goal, forcing Chevalier to jump to his left!

Dortmund are back in this tie!

Guirassy was carrying the ball as he entered the box all alone, but Meunier pushed him down from behind inside the box!

Meunier is shown a yellow and referee Sandro Schärer awards the visitors a penalty!

Adeyemi found some space on the right, advanced, and passed it to Guirassy, who was in the middle of the box. He took a strike but Lille's defence made a crucial block.

A dangerous cross whipped in from Beier, which was met by the Gross, who made a trigger run into the box. However, his powerful header had too much force behind it, brushing the top of the crossbar and going over. 

Emre Can tested his luck with a header following a corner, but his header sailed over the crossbae!

Mukau made a brilliant turn on the right to ease past Ryerson, but failed to make a proper cross, giving Dortmund opportunity to solidify inside the box.

A corner is played short before eventually finding Haraldsson on the byline again, who clips a lovely cross into the area for Andre, but his header misses the target by inches!

Anton receives the first booking of the game for a full body challenge on Ismaily. 

Cabella found some space on the right and attempted to make a cutback for a Lille player. However, Gross intercepted the pass, but only directed it towards Andre.

Andre then took a shot from the edge of the area, but his execution was poor, and he missed the target.

Following a long floating free-kick, Schlotterbeck powered a header on target, but Chevalier made a routine collection.

How do Dortmund NOT have a goal? 

Chevalier was outstanding, making three crucial point-blank saves. Brandt took the first attempt, followed by Guirassy who also failed to find the net, as Chevalier stood tall. Brandt's shot from a distance was blocked by Meunier on the line, and Chevalier collected the ball at last.

Equally, a desperate and heroic defensive display eventually helped the danger pass.

Ryerson again took another attempt, but his grounded strike to the far post was denied by Chevalier, who pushed it around the post for a corner!

Pascal Gross went upfront sprinting toward the goal. The Borussia left-back entered the box from the left, as he attempted a right-footed curler which breezed past Chevalier who already came off his line. However, Alexsandro fired into the shot's line and blocked the effort on the goal-line!

Remuy Cabella orchestrated this attack, pulling strings of passes while entering the box from the right. He passed it to Haraldsson, who chipped the ball back into the box but Cabella's powerful strike sailed over the crossbar.

Meunier headed the ball to Ryerson following a long cross, but the latter's effort went over the crossbar!

Ismaily became dangerous on the left flank, as he came closer to the edge of the box before delivering a grounded pass that found David in the middle of the box. However, David's final attempt did not have much power, but Borussia custodian Kobel made a huge mistake in gripping the ball, as the ball trickled in through his legs, leading to an early LOSC goal!

Almost five minutes played and both teams are going fierce on every challenge.

Dortmund gets things going at Stade Pierre-Mauroy!

Lille have only won one of their 10 major European meetings with German clubs (D5 L4), beating VfL Wolfsburg 3-1 in December 2021 in the Champions League.

All three of their games with Borussia Dortmund have ended as draws.#UCL

Well, nothing to apart the two teams after the end of the second half, as the game will head into extra-time.

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.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is forced off with an apparent injury.

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.

He'll miss a potential quarter-final first leg.

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!

Match: Liverpool vs Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League 2024-25 Round of 16 tie, Second Leg

Date: 12 March 2025

Time: 1:30 AM IST

Venue: Anfield, Liverpool, UK

Barcelona's unbeaten streak in 2025 goes to 17 games now. They have scored 56 goals in those 17 games and are now through to the quarter-final of UEFA Champions League 2024025 as well.

Flick-ball has been working brilliantly for them. 

Raphinha has shown he is among the best footballers in the world at the moment and Lamine Yamal has again proved why is has been called the next Messi!

Benfica were no match for the Catalan club. Barcelona will now face either of Lyon or Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals. 

Raphinha's game by numbers vs. Benfica:

• 6 dribbles 
• 6 crosses
• 3 shots
• 2 shots on target
• 2 goals
• 2 chances created
• 1 assist 

2 minutes added as injury time.

Eric Garcia replaces Inigo Martinez.

Otamendi dives in desperation to block a shot from Gavi.

Kounde blocks the header from Amdouni from a corner. Szczęsny had it covered though. 

Araujo has been replaced by Rego.

They trap Otamendi for another offside and it looks like they are now inch closer to making it to the final eight. 

De Jong and Yamal have been replaced by Casado and Fermin Lopez.

Inigo Martinez has been solid and this time he blocked a shot from Dahl with a big leaping slide. 

Otamendi conceded a foul on Ferran. He took the free-kick and missed the target by a mile.

Belotti and Barreiro replaced Kokcu and Florentino.

Lewandowski and Dani Olmo make their way for Gavi and Ferran Torres. 

It has been passes, passes and passes from the Barcelona players and it is quite looking like a training ground routine for them. 

Lamine Yamal with an outrageous pass with the heel of the boot and Kounde's cross from the right found an outstretched De Jong going for the goal. 

But, he missed the target.

Raphinha with another solid run on the left and he played it across for Dani Olmo to find the net.

But, the ball was too long for the Spaniard. 

Amdouni and Sanches replace Schjelderup and Aktürkoğlu.

Eric García, Fermín López, Gavi, and Ferran Torres are warming up for Barcelona

Aursnes scores one for Benfica but Pavlidis was offside leading to the goal. 

Yellow card for Antonio Silva for a foul on Raphinha. 

No changes for either teams

Raphinha Dias has scored 11 goals in the UEFA Champions League 2024/25, the most of any Brazilian player for any club in a single season

Only Lionel Messi (14 goals, 5 assists in 2011-12) has more Champions League goal involvements in a single season for Barcelona than Raphinha (11 goals, 5 assists) 

3 minutes have been added as injury time.

The goal has been given finally.

Balde had a great buildup, run, and pass, and Raphinha had a clinical finish.

The referee was making sure that no one was offside. 

11 goals in 10 UCL games for Raphinha this season. 

Barcelona 3-1 Benfica (4-1 agg).

Yellow card for Otamendi for descent. He will miss the next match if they qualify.

Chance for Lewandowski to extend the lead from a close-range shot. However, he hit the ball straight to Trubin with power.

Trubin was able to make the save.

Pavlidis hit the far post but he was already offside leading to the attack.

Barcelona have been solid holding the ball and making an enormous amount of runs in the final third. 

Benfica had failed to keep the ball to themselves and win the back as well. 

At 17 years and 241 days, Lamine Yamal has become the youngest player to both score and assist in the same Champions League game, surpassing Breel Embolo's previous record for Basel against Ludogorets Razgrad in 2014 (17 years, 263 days).

One outrageous assist. One outrageous goal.

Lamine Yamal is out of this world. 💫 pic.twitter.com/QsEYbSWopf

WHAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT?

Lamine Yamal does a Lionel Messi here!

He first saved the ball from going out and then created a chance for himself to have a look at the goal and go with his left foot. 

He curls it in past a diving Trubin for one of the most stunning goals you will ever see from a 17-year-old kid.

Barccelona 2-1 Benfica (3-1 agg)

On the left, again, Yamal found the space and the speed to make a quick entry in the final third. 

But, his left-footed effort missed the goal by a whisker. 

Lewandowski's pass from the edge of the box nearly gave Raphinha to make a run inside the box.

The Brazilian was nearly one-on-one against Trubin. But, Trubin came running and was just able to grab the ball before Raphinha could do any damage.

Lamine Yamal had the chance to go for the goal. But, he decided to pass it across to Lewandowski.

However, the pass was a tad long for Lewandowski. 

What a comeback from the visitors!

Schjelderup with their first corner and Otanmeding headed the ball inside the goal for the equaliser. 

Szczęsny got a hand to it. But, it was not enough to stop the goal. Otamendi is now the third-oldest scorer in a Champions League knockout game at the age of 37 years 27 days

Barcelona 1-1 Benfica (2-1 agg)

Wonderful play from Lamine Yamal. 

He makes another entry to the box and with a side-of-the-boot pass finds Raphhinha. Raphinha precisely side-volleyed the ball inside the goal for their first goal. 

Barcelona 1-0 Benfica (2-0 in agg.) 

How good is Lamine Yamal!

The 17-year-old with a run on the right and then made the quick entry in the final third before giving it away to Lewandowski. 

Lewandowski could not take the chance though after a poor start.

Good save from Turbin. Balde with the left-footed shot form the close range.

But, Raphinha was already offside leading to Balde's shot. 

Schjelderup cross from the middle was intercepted by Inigo Martinez. However, the player was already offside leading up to the cross. 

Dani Olmo's pass found Pedri with lots of space. After a run through the middle, Pedri found Yamal on the right. 

But, Yamal could not find the power he was looking for and it is an easy grab for Trubin.

Cross from the right nearly found Raphinha inside the box. 

But, it was too long for him. 

Barcelona's early attack gave Pedri to go for a show from outside the box. 

His shot was blocked by the Benfica wall.

Barcelona in their red and blue start the proceedings. 

Barcelona hold a moment of silence ahead of their match vs. Benfica in honor of first-team doctor Carles Miñarro García, who died on Saturday
