Dortmund now up 4-2 and take the lead on aggregate. PSG up 1 on aggregate as well. I have been thoroughly entertained once again. And there's still about 20 mins left

game, set, match with that second Mbappe goal. PSG up 4-1 in barcelona. PSG to advance.

Seconds left in Dortmund

The matches in the quarters so far have been absolutely unreal.
It's time for 5 refs.

Yeah, looks like the away goal rule didn't actually really change anything. Like SgtPepper said, the "slower" away performances were likely down to draw mismatches.

These QFs have been amazing, 2019 vibes.

Xavi crying about refs is pathetic. They can only have themselves to blame. Both red card and penalty decisions are not even debatable in my opinion and frankly players showed complete lack of football IQ committing fouls like that.

Disappointing end to the season for Arsenal. They will hopefully learn from this and improve as the team is still young. Bayern were sloppy with possession at times but Arsenal could offer little in attack.

Saka and Rice have been very poor recently.

Martinelli might be responsible for the goal but he was by far the most threatening in attack for Arsenal.

As good as these quarterfinals matchups been Dortmund-PSG seems like an underwhelming semi matchup. Dortmund is fun to watch though.

Do these results leave the PL out of having a 5th UCL spot?

You might ask Rogerio Cení about that. Ederson is an outstanding penalty kicker.

Great two games. City was better but Real's defense tonight was very impressive.

Almost definitely, unless Liverpool and West ham can turn it around tomorrow.
Bundesliga is in a very good position to take that 5th spot
