Salah and Kane get 50th CL goals as Liverpool and Bayern advance
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah celebrates scoring his side's fourth goal during the UEFA Champions League round of sixteen, second leg soccer match between Liverpool and Galatasaray at Anfield. Peter Byrne/PA Wire/dpa Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane scored their 50th Champions League goals on Wednesday as Liverpool and Bayern Munich cruised into the quarter-finals along with classy Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Salah missed a penalty but then found the top corner as Liverpool overturned a 1-0 first leg deficit with an emphatic 4-0 triumph at Anfield over Galatasaray.
Kane scored a brace in Bayern's 4-1 over Atalanta to complete a 10-2 aggregate win. Barcelona were not far off when they thrashed Newcastle United 7-2 for an overall 8-3 score, with captain Raphina getting two goals and assists apiece and Robert Lewandowski also claiming a break. Tottenham Hotspur put up a fight against Atletico and won 3-2 from Xavi Simons' late penalty for a personal brace but the damage was done last week in Spain where they lost 5-2.
The results means that Liverpool and Arsenal are the only two of six Premier Leagues to progress as Chelsea and Manchester City went out on Tuesday against title holders Paris Saint-Germain and record winners Real Madrid, respectively. Arsenal ousted Bayer Leverkusen. The quarter-finals played April 7/8 and 14/15 are Real v Bayern, Atletico v Barcelona, PSG v Liverpool and Sporting v Arsenal.
