Liverpool coast into quarter-finals after Porto draw as Real Madrid end PSG challenge

Full-time: PSG 1-2 Real Madrid

Real Madrid progress 5-2 on aggregate

Full-time: Liverpool 0-0 Porto

Liverpool progress 5-0 on aggregate

Magic from Casillas at Anfield.! The Spaniard rolls back the years to deny Danny Ings with a dream goal on his Champions League debut, clawing away his looping header to keep it goalless.

Real are operating with a real swagger now; they know they are going through tonight.

Surely that is it for PSG. They give the ball away on the half way line again with Ronaldo pouncing, racing inside from the right. He slides the ball out to the onrushing Carvajal, whose ball across goal is only partially cleared by Rabiot into the path of Casemiro. The Brazilian takes the shot on and via a hugely helpful deflection off Thiago Silva, his effort ends up in the back of the net.

Goal! PSG 1-2 Real Madrid (Casemiro, 79)

Last throw of the dice for Unai Emery, Julian Draxler is onto replace Di Maria.

A chance for Real to finish it! Di Maria loses the ball on the half way line and Benzema races forward with Ronaldo providing support. It's two on one, but Benzema opts to take it on himself, shooting for goal. His effort looked to take a deflection off Marquinhos but a goal kick is given.

Here's a change for Real with Toni Kroos onto replace Kovacic.

PSG have one back! Silva's header causes havoc in the box as Real fail to clear their lines. The ball rebounds back off Cavani who unwittingly diverts the ball home. Game on?

Goal! PSG 1-1 Real Madrid (Edinson Cavani, 69)

Asensio whacks the post! A delightful move sees the ball cut back to him just inside the box but his vicious effort bounces back off the woodwork.

We are still goalless in Liverpool, by the way.

Mbappe does superbly to flick the ball back to Pastore who threads a pass through for Cavani inside the box. He goes to pull the trigger but Navas is out quickly to make the decisive save.

It's all falling apart from PSG. Verratti, booked for that late challenge in the first-half, picks up a second for his frantic appeals for a free-kick. It wasn't a foul he tried to appeal for and his dissent sees him walking.

RED CARD - Marco Verratti

PSG have half-an-hour left to rescue this. Three goals will be enough for them to force extra-time...

Here's PSG's first change of the night, Javier Pastore comes onto replace Motta.

Cavani acrobatically latches onto Mbappe's superb flick but a deflection takes his effort just wide.

Real have the lead on the night! Alves gives the ball away and it allows Asensio to gallop into space down the left. The Spaniard cuts back inside, waiting for an overlapping run and superbly finds Vasquez, who lifts a cross into Ronaldo who steers a powerful header home. Real lead 4-1 on aggregate; game over?

Goal! PSG 0-1 Real Madrid (Cristiano Ronaldo, 50)

So close from Ronaldo! Marcelo whips in a smart ball from the left and his Real Madrid teammate bursts through the smoke that has come via those flares in the stands to connect with a header. It's a powerful effort, but whistles just wide of the post.

There's a break in play in Paris, the referee seemingly isn't happy with the two dozen flares that have been lit in one of the stands. Looks nice, mind.

And we are back underway in both games.

Half-time: PSG 0-0 Real Madrid

Half-time: Liverpool 0-0 Porto

Poor decision making from Mbappe! He creeps inside the Real box having jinked away from his man and has time and space to cut the ball back to an unmarked Cavani. Instead, he has an effort on goal himself for a very tight angle; an easy save for Navas.

Still goalless in both our games with just minutes of the first-half remaining.

Huge chance for Benzema! Marcelo's superb ball down the left evades Alves and allows the Frenchman to retrieve the ball and cut in with only the goalkeeper to beat. Areola gets something onto it however and makes a crucial save.

Di Maria now bursts into space down the right with Marcelo nowhere to be found. It forces Kovacic across to try and make a challenge but he is late and cuts down the Argentine, earning himself a yellow card.

Di Maria strikes it but a deflection off the wall takes it out for a corner.

Mbappe drives forward but has the door slammed in front of him by Ramos and Casemiro. The youngster is sandwiched between the two and wins a free kick for his side from a decent area.

Verratti gets the first yellow card of the game, lunging in to catch Casemiro trying to retrieve di Maria's loose pass.

Ramos almost grabs a priceless away goal! The centre-half turns a corner kick towards goal with a clever effort but Areola gets down to make a huge stop.

Ronaldo is stopped by Alves and swings out a petulant kick at the Brazilian in frustration. It doesn't make contact, but the intent was there. Luckily for Ronaldo, the referee opts not to make a big deal out of it and play continues.

Goalless at Anfield 10 minutes in; Iker Casillas, making his 167th appearance in this competition tonight, has so far been untested.

Real look very shaky at the back as they fail to clear their lines on three occasions before Ronaldo eventually provides some respite, picking up the ball from deep and driving forward to ease the pressure on his defence.

After a moment of silence for the late Fiorentina captain Davide Astori, we are ready to get underway.

Five minutes until kick-off; here's another look at how Liverpool are lining up this evening.

Liverpool team to face Porto: Karius, Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Moreno, Milner, Henderson, Can, Lallana, Mane, Firmino

Subs: Mignolet. Van Dijk, Salah, Klavan, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ings, Alexander-Arnold

Virgil van Dijk, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mohamed Salah are the three first-teamers dropped to the bench by Jurgen Klopp; a pretty clear indication all three will start against Manchester United on Saturday.

And here is how Liverpool's opposition line up tonight....

At a glance, does PSG's midfield look stronger than Real's? Motta, Rabiot and Verratti certainly looks capable of winning a battle against Casemiro and Kovacic, who will need Vasquez and Asensio to tuck in and help them at times tonight.

Thiago Silva returns to the PSG backline tonight after missing the first leg with Giovani Lo Celso, who endured a difficult evening that night in Madrid, replaced by the vastly experienced Thiago Motta in midfield.

As expected, Angel di Maria starts against his former club, starting to the right of Edinson Cavani with Kylian Mbappe to his left.

Gareth Bale is dropped from the Real Madrid starting XI tonight; Lucas Vasquez starts ahead of him on the right with Maro Asensio starting out on the left in support of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema up front.

Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, deemed fit enough to travel after returning to training on Sunday, are also left out with Casemiro and Mateo Kovacic starting in midfield.

Jurgen Klopp has made five changes to the side that bested Newcastle United last Saturday. Having said that, he's largely stuck to his word and named a strong starting XI this evening.

Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are the biggest omissions ahead of Saturday's showdown with Manchester United with Joel Matip and Adam Lallana coming in respectively. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also given a rest with Emre Can, available again after serving a suspension, coming in to partner Jordan Henderson in midfield.

The remaining changes come in both full-back roles with Joe Gomez and Alberto Moreno coming in for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson.

BREAKING: Mohamed Salah drops to the Liverpool bench this evening with Adam Lallana replacing him in the starting XI.

Early team news for our other game of the evening; Cadena Cope journalist Miguel Angel Diaz suggests Toni Kroos will be partnered in midfield by Casemiro instead of Luka Modric.

Porto have travelled to Merseyside without five members of their first-team squad. Danilo, Alex Telles, Francisco Soares and Moussa Marega. Have all failed to make the journey, although Vincent Aboubakar is in contention to start tonight after recovering from a recent hamstring problem.

Manchester United's last-gasp win over Crystal Palace on Monday night saw them climb back into second place in the Premier League table. Just two points separate the rivals ahead of their meeting at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon and with that 5-0 advantage in mind, you could forgive Jurgen Klopp if he was considering resting his front three of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino tonight.

It seems that won't necessarily be the case, however.

"It's not about rest. We have to see," Klopp said this week. "I have not thought a second about the line up against Porto, but they have won all their games since we played them. They are now have a big lead ahead of Sporting Lisbon. They will strike back, that's what they want. They are Portuguese and proud and will give a fight. They want to strike back."

Jurgen Klopp on squad fitness

"We had a few knocks after the game [the win over Newcastle United], an ankle here and a muscle there; not a muscle injury but dead legs and stuff like that. It was an intense game, so we need to wait a little bit.

"But, [there are] no major things so far that I heard about."

Jurgen Klopp has an almost-fully fit squad to choose from this evening, although Georginio Wijnaldum has not been considered fit enough for tonight having only recently recovered from a bout of illness.

With Liverpool firmly in control of this tie, tonight could have been a chance for young Ben Woodburn to shine in the first-team again but like Wijnaldum, he has also been ill recently and will not be considered.

While not getting carried away with the idea of English sides dominating the Champions League again just yet, Liverpool's dominant win in Portugal in February certainly raised some eyebrows. Barring an implosion of historic proportions, Jurgen Klopp's side are in the quarter-finals of the competition and has the chance to rotate his squad ahead of a huge Premier League showdown with Manchester United on Saturday.

Things are slightly more in the balance in Paris tonight. Despite taking the lead in the first-leg, PSG trail 3-1 on aggregate and without the talismanic presence of Neymar, they have it all to do tonight. The French giants have not given up on eliminating the defending champions; but will need Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and former Los Blancos star Angel di Maria operating at the peak of their powers tonight.

Stick around, all your team news is on the way.
