Scorers: Choupo-Moting 41′

Paris Saint-Germain edged into the Champions League semi-finals despite losing to Bayern Munich on home soil.

This game started frighteningly quick with Neymar denied by Manuel Neuer, before hitting the crossbar and the post after great work from Kylian Mbappé.

But it was Bayern who made the breakthrough when former PSG player – Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting – headed past Keylor Navas from close range to make things interesting.

Neymar was inches away from netting an equaliser but, once again, somehow couldn’t stretch far enough to slot home Ángel di María’s cross from two yards.

Mbappé then netted a brilliant effort but was correctly ruled out for offside as Bayern were unable to score their all-important away goal late on.


Chelsea 0-1 Porto (2-1 aggregate)

Scorers: Taremi 90+3′

Chelsea edged into the Champions League final four despite losing 1-0 to Porto in Seville.

In a quiet first half, the best chance fell to Kai Havertz who saw his cross blocked with Mason Mount left unmarked at the back post.

Jesus Corona also went close for Porto after Édouard Mendy gave away the ball sloppily but Jorginho was there to spare his blushes.

In the second half, Christian Pulisic was inches away from breaking the deadlock but couldn’t divert his volley goal-bound after being picked out by Ben Chilwell.

There were nerves in injury time when Mehdi Taremi scored a stunning bicycle kick, but it was too little, too late for O Dragões.
