Sporting CP produce stunning comeback as Arsenal, Paris and Real Madrid also progress

We now have our first four Champions League quarter-finalists.

The evening started with an incredible comeback in Lisbon as Sporting CP overturned a three-goal first leg deficit to beat Bodø/Glimt 5-0 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate. The Portuguese champions levelled the tie in normal time with goals from Gonçalo Inácio, Pedro Gonçalves and Luis Suárez, before Maximiliano Araújo and Rafael Nel settled matters in extra time.

Elsewhere, Real Madrid and Paris progressed to the last eight after pressing home their healthy three-goal first leg leads. The 15-time champions won 2-1 at the City of Manchester Stadium to secure a comfortable 5-1 aggregate victory – a double from Vinícius Júnior proving the difference on the night. In West London, Paris powered their way to a superb 3-0 win at Chelsea - Kvaratskhelia, Barcola and Mayulu all putting their names on the scoresheet - to seal a comprehensive 8-2 aggregate triumph.

In Tuesday’s other last 16 tie, Arsenal ran out 2-0 winners in North London to progress 3-1 on aggregate. An Eberechi Eze thunderbolt put the Gunners on their way before UEFA Player of the Match Declan Rice finished things off in the second half, to set up a quarter-final match up with Sporting CP.

We analyse all of the action and hear from some of the key protagonists on the night, including Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Eberechi Eze and Mikel Arteta. Plus we look ahead to Wednesday’s tantalising Round of 16 second legs.
