Liverpool secured a resounding 4-0 victory over Galatasaray at Anfield to overturn a first-leg deficit and progress to the Champions League last eight with a 4-1 aggregate win. The result sets up a quarter-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
Mohamed Salah was instrumental for Liverpool, scoring a trademark curling left-footed goal after earlier seeing a penalty saved. Luis Díaz also found the net with a cheeky dink over the keeper, while Ryan Gravenberch and Ekitiké added further strikes. Despite a disallowed goal and a missed penalty, Liverpool's dominant performance earned a much-needed confidence boost under manager Arne Slot.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur bowed out of the competition despite claiming a 3-2 win over Atlético Madrid at home. Igor Tudor secured his first victory as Spurs boss, but the 7-5 aggregate defeat ended their European campaign. Atlético Madrid will now face Barcelona in the quarter-finals.
