Liverpool may have been handed a favourable tie, dodging the likes of Barcelona, Juventus and three of their domestic rivals, though it can be argued that they deserved to pick the weakest remaining side as they faced behemoths Bayern Munich in the previous round.
5′ Goal!! Roberto Firmino passes the ball to Naby Keita (Liverpool) and he fires in a shot from the edge of the box which is deflected. Iker Casillas couldn’t do anything about it. 1:0.
The Reds won that match 3-1 on aggregate following a goalless first leg at Anfield, and they will now fancy their chances of booking a place in the semis. From their last five quarter-final appearances in the Champions League, between 2004 and 2018, they have progressed on four occasions, only falling short against Chelsea in 2008-09.
