Paris Saint-Germain won 2-0 away to Liverpool in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie on Tuesday to reach the last four with a 4-0 aggregate victory.
The reigning European champions went to Anfield with a 2-0 lead from last week’s first leg and Ousmane Dembele put them ahead on the night on 72 minutes before scoring again in stoppage time.
PSG will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid survived a valiant Barcelona fight back to progress to the Champions League semi-finals 3-2 on aggregate despite losing a thrilling quarter-final second leg 2-1 in Madrid.
With Barca trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Lamine Yamal halved the aggregate deficit with just five minutes on the clock when he slid the ball under Atleti goalkeeper Juan Musso following a loose touch from former Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet.
Nineteen minutes later the tie was level – Ferran Torres latched onto a Dani Olmo pass and drilled a fine left-footed strike into the top corner.
A raucous home crowd was silenced for seven minutes, until Marcos Llorente broke down the right flank and found Ademola Lookman in the box to restore Atleti’s aggregate lead.
Barca should have gone 3-0 up on the night just five minutes earlier, but Musso spread himself to block a diving header from an unmarked Fermin Lopez.
Torres thought he had scored Barca’s third goal 10 minutes into the second half when he met a deflection in the box with a cushioned volley into the top corner, but after a VAR check his effort was ruled out for offside.
The visitors continued to push but, as happened in the first leg last week, were reduced to 10 men when Eric Garcia tripped Atleti striker Alexander Sorloth as he raced onto a through ball.
Atleti will face either Arsenal or Sporting CP in the semi-finals as they look to reach the final for the first time since 2016.
