After a goalless first half, PSG accelerated in the second half. In the 72nd minute, Ousmane Dembele capitalized on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's exquisite assist to open the scoring. In stoppage time, Dembele himself completed a brace, extinguishing Liverpool's hopes. This victory allows PSG to stride confidently into the semifinals with an extremely impressive form.

In the other match, Atletico Madrid endured a tense 90 minutes against Barcelona. Despite losing 1-2 in the second leg, the team under coach Diego Simeone still advanced thanks to a 3-2 aggregate victory.

Barcelona started explosively, quickly taking a 2-0 lead, including a goal from Lamine Yamal. However, Ademola Lookman's goal to reduce the deficit helped Atletico regain the advantage. The turning point came when Eric Garcia received a red card, causing Barcelona to lose control in the final minutes and unable to reverse the situation.
