PSG oust Liverpool from CL

MADRID (AP):

Gianluigi Donnarumma came through and Paris Saint-Germain defeated Liverpool in a penalty shootout to join Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in the quarterfinals of the Champions League (CL) yesterday.

PSG beat Liverpool 1-0 on the night to level the aggregate score at 1-1. Ousmane Dembele scored 12 minutes into the second-leg match at Anfield after a blunder by the Liverpool defence.

After extra time, Donnarumma stopped the penalty shots by Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones to secure his team a 4-1 shootout win. Desire Doue scored the winning spot kick for PSG who will face either Aston Villa or Club Brugge.

The French league leaders -- seeking their first Champions League title -- had lost at this stage in five of the past eight editions. They lost to Borussia Dortmund in last season's semi-finals.

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 rivals Bayer Leverkusen.

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.

Inter moved on past Feyenoord with a 2-1 victory at San Siro to advance 4-1 on aggregate.

Bayern and Inter will meet in the last eight.
