VIDEO OF THE DAY
Champions League. Quarter-finals. Second legs
Atletico (Spain) – Barcelona (Spain) – 1:2 (Lukman, 31 – Yamal, 4, Torres, 24). Eric Garcia (Barcelona) was sent off in the 79th minute. First match – 2:0.
Less than five minutes later, Spanish champions Barcelona stunned Diego Simeone's men with strikes from Yamal and Torres in the first half, levelling the score on aggregate. The Catalans even came close to scoring a third goal, but it was all down to a brilliant save from goalkeeper Muso and a broken nose from Fermin Lopez. A few minutes later, Atletico's stunning counterattack and a goal from Lukman brought Madrid to their senses (Barca had conceded in their 15th Champions League match in a row).

After the break, Barcelona tried their best to finish what they had started, but in vain. In addition, the Catalans had to play the match with ten men after a straight red card for central defender Eric Garcia.
Liverpool (England) — PSG (France) — 0:2 (Dembele, 73, 90+1). First match — 0:2.
The Parisians, with Ukrainian Zabarny in reserve, not only maintained the advantage they gained in the first game at Anfield without any particular problems, but also developed it, reaching the semifinals for the third season in a row.
