The Champions League Quarter finals began on the ninth with 2018 finalists Liverpool gaining a 2-0 first leg advantage against FC Porto.

The Reds struck an early opener through Naby Keita before a Roberto Firmino strike doubled the lead on 26 minutes. Porto's lack of an away goal could be pivotal to the tie.

An all PL tie saw Tottenham claim a narrow first leg advantage with a 1-0 win over Manchester City.

The crucial strike came on 78 minutes as Son Heung-Min sealed the win for Spurs.

The second half of the stage saw Juventus claim an away goal advantage after drawing 1-1 with Ajax.

The Italians went ahead just before half-time through Cristiano Ronaldo but were pegged back instantly after the restart by a David Neres leveller for 1-1. The score remained level leaving the hosts needing to score in the second leg to avoid an exit.

Barcelona left Manchester United with a tough task for the second leg after claiming a 1-0 away win. The crucial away goal came inside 12 minutes as a cross found United defender Luke Shaw who was unable to prevent an own goal for 1-0.
