End of an era: No Messi or Ronaldo in Champions League quarter-finals

A red card, an extra-time upset, a goal disallowed and a penalty awarded in the same 30 seconds by VAR – world football fan watch the most dramatic night of Champions League football.

For the first time in 16 years, the quarter-finals of the Champions League – Europe’s Premier football competition – won’t feature Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo after both Barcelona and Juventus were knocked out of the competition.

  • The rise of Mbappe and Haaland offers a counterpoint to the early exits of Messi and Ronaldo.
  • Dortmund, Liverpool, Paris and Porto are the first four teams through to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
  • Liverpool FINALLY end six-match losing streak at home with comfortable win.
  • Messi nets ‘one of his best’ goals but fails where Mbappe succeeded as PSG eliminate Barca.
  • Man City City maintains impressive Wednesday winning run as Saints’ Manchester misery continues.
