According to the assessment, the indifference shown to Liverpool supporters outside the stadium "almost led to disaster."

Match prediction: Already having the lead coming into the second leg, Benfica will be able to take things at their pace passing their way to another 2-0 victory to echo the opening leg. Man of the Match pick: Rafael Leao - There are a lot of rumors about his potential Premier League move in the future and this is a great opportunity for him to shine on such a big stage. Only facing four shots on target during the opening leg in Belgium, he'll have more to do during an away trip in Libson. Dortmund tend to share the goals around, their scorer could be anyone but with four in his last five Bundesliga games Julian Brandt seems a tempting choice. This is going to be a big chance for him and Spurs will rely a lot on their club's top scorer against the Italian side. Antonio Conte's side need to score if they want to have chances to go to the next round but will also likely expose themselves defensively. Reus' own fitness is often fleeting but when he is available he tends to be worth the wait and has provided two goals and three assists. Antonio Conte's side are coming from a heavy defeat away against Wolves and need to react in the Champions League's second leg this Wednesday. Most likely to score a goal: Mbappe -- The opening leg only really came to life when Mbappe came on and his introduction transformed PSG. Fikayo Tomori – Tottenham will definitely need to score soon during the match if they want to have chances to make it to the quarter finals of this season. The only concern over Mendes might be his ability to go the full 90 and potentially beyond given his recent knock against Lille. The first leg was all about Mbappe and he only came on as a second half substitute before ripping into Bayern with the help of Nuno Mendes.

Sule flashed wide with a snap shot that whistled by the post as the spectre of a Champions League exit loomed. Havertz approached, stopped, waited for Meyer to commit, then clipped his kick against the post, but a reprieve was only seconds away. Havertz had the ball in the net before the break only for a late flag to rescue Dortmund, then Koulibaly kicked at thin air from six yards with the goal gaping.

Pressure has been mounting on Chelsea manager Graham Potter, but he finally got some relief with a big win over Dortmund in the Champions League.

Scoring twice for the first time in 12 games since defeating Bournemouth in December of 2022, this was a balance that the Blues haven't had in a while. Making only his fourth appearance for the Blues since suffering a knee injury, Forfana was excellent during the match, winning two of his three tackles attempted and also making three clearances to assist Reece James with defending Marco Reus. With Joao Felix, Havertz and Sterling leading the line, there was a balance in Chelsea's attack that gave Dortmund fits during the match. Without Benoit Badiashile in the Champions League squad due to having more January additions than they could register, Potter had to change his defense from the one that kept a clean sheet against Leeds United as Marc Cucurella came into a back three flanking Kalidou Koulibaly and Wesley Fofana in a back three. After losing to an Oostende side in the relegation zone in Belgium, Scott Parker's side needed a rebound that didn't come in this match as they were flat from start to finish. Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz scored, but it was a match with quite a few twists and turns -- enough that Gio Reyna and Christian Pulisic ended up squaring off by the close of things.

In a season of struggles the Londoners bounce back against Borussia Dortmund though they needed a retaken penalty to get there.

It last advanced past the quarterfinals in 1990, when it eventually lost the final to AC Milan. Bjorn Meijer scored Brugge's lone goal with a neat one-timer into the top corner in the 87th. Ramos added to the lead with close-range goals in first-half stoppage time and early after halftime. It entered the knockout stage in great form, enjoying a 12-game unbeaten run in all competitions with 10 win in those matches. Brugge, making its debut in the knockout stage of the Champions League, plunged deeper into crisis under coach Scott Parker. It was eliminated by eventual runner-up Liverpool last year.

"There is a lot of emotion in the end," added Potter. "There was a fantastic feeling in the dressing room. Chances came and went frequently at the other end.

"We wanted to progress and get into the last eight and it sets us up for the next few weeks."

We love individuals within a team but that’s not a team and Kylian Mbappe has to leave that club.” It’s just brilliant because it tells you how important it is to be a team.

Minute-by-minute report: Tottenham Hotspur exited the tournament with barely a whimper following an embarrassingly insipid performance against the Italian ...

42 min: Dejan Kulusevski sends a cross towards the far post from the right, standing the ball up at the far post. 38 min: With little to get excited about taking place on the pitch, the atmosphere in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on this cold March evening seems fairly subdued. 58 min: Harry Kane receives a pass from Hjobjerg and is clipped by Sandro Tonali as he turns to sprint into the Milan penalty area. 63 min: Son attempts a cross into the Milan penalty area but his effort is blocked. 67 min: Leao tries to tee up Brahim Diaz, who could have shot first-time from 15 yards out but elected to take a couple of touches. Ben Davies recycles the ball but it ends up in the warm embrace of Mike Maignan. They’ve been dismal tonight and those two results, not to mention their defeat at the hands of Wolves on Saturday, are going to prompt no end of calls for Antonio Conte’s head. 77 min: In news that will come as no surprise to anyone who is familiar with his work, Cristian Romero gets his second yellow card for a rash, stupid lunge on Theo Hernandez. 90+1 min: Divock Origi runs into traffic on the edge of the Tottenham penalty area. Hernandez squares the ball for Origi, whose shot hits the foot of the post and rebounds into the arms of Fraser Forster. He gets down to his right to parry the ball clear and Milan break upfield. Tottenham win a free-kick and Son hoists the ball towards the far post.

For the fifth time in seven years, PSG's expensively assembled squad has been knocked out in the Champions League last 16, this time by Bayern.

We had a lot of important absentees in the first game and in the second game. Had a golden chance to open the scoring for PSG in the first half, but he wasn't clinical enough with the empty goal gaping. In the end, we deserved to win" [Sadio Mane](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/169797/Sadio-Mané), who replaced Musiala as a late substitute, or [Leroy Sane](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/202641/Leroy-Sané). Yet he joined PSG in 2021 with the challenge of helping the French team finally win their first Champions League, and for the second successive season, he and PSG have gone out in the round of 16. Right now, though, only Musiala is looking like the kind of world-class player that Bayern used to have in abundance. The Bayern star dominated the midfield and his first-half shoulder charge on Messi summed up how he approached this game. This isn't a vintage Bayern team, but nobody will want to face them in the latter stages simply because they know how to win in this competition. This might just have been the game in which Messi saw his last chance of one more Champions League crown disappear forever. Bayern had to weather an early PSG storm before taking control of this game, but once Choupo-Moting put them ahead on 60 minutes, the tie was in the bag. In continental competition, all PSG's Qatari owners have to show for their mammoth investment in the club is one final appearance. PSG, who lost to Bayern in Lisbon, Portugal, in their only Champions League final appearance to date in 2020, crashed out 3-0 on aggregate after losing the first-leg 1-0 in Paris.

LONDON (AP) — AC Milan advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League after holding 10-man Tottenham to a goalless draw on Wednesday.

Tottenham is now left to battle for a place in the Premier League top four, which would provide a route back into the Champions League. “For sure in our mind it was to put pressure on with intensity but in the first half we found it difficult offensively,” Conte said. “We felt a bit of pressure. Tottenham had gone into the game on the back of bruising losses to second-division Sheffield United in the FA Cup and Wolverhampton in the Premier League. We can do much better.” “I think we can do much better offensively.

Bayern Munich cruised. AC Milan held on for dear life. Both teams are heading for the Champions League quarterfinals. Bayern claimed a 2-0 victory over PSG ...

Suffice to say, the positive early returns of the Conte era haven't sustained. More a "hold on for dear life" type of deal at points. Back in the #UCL quarters for the first time in 11 years 👏

Totally deserved. The hope was that the Antonio Conte era would change that, but so far that hasn't happened. Once again, PSG said au revoir to their European hopes in the Round of 16. And yet again, facing down a major European power, the Parisiens simply folded.

Former Liverpool winger Steve McManaman said on BT Sport: "PSG aren't going to get any better next year. "Lionel Messi will be a year older, Sergio Ramos ...

"I wouldn't expect him to be here at the start of the next season." "The next few days are going to be crucial. "Tuchel was the closest but came up short. "He hasn't won the Champions League but he is only 24 so this is not an obsession for him. The 35-year-old Argentina captain is thought to be interested in staying but has not signed a new deal yet. The young French players scattered around Europe could be doing what these lads are doing for a quarter of the cost with an identity the fans connect with." I don't think he is good enough for this level anymore." Former Bayern midfielder Hargreaves said: "PSG should rip the whole project up and start from scratch. But the Champions League was the owners' dream and looks no closer to fruition. Over the last four years they've gone out in good positions and it's left a mark on their psyche as a club. It ultimately looks like it's going to be a failure," said former Chelsea playmaker Joe Cole on BT Sport. If we'd scored first, it would have been different, but we didn't."

Tottenham's wait for a title continues following their inability to score against AC Milan, while the star-studded PSG team have made an early exit.
