New Delhi, March 18 (NationPress) Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain comfortably dispatched their English rivals, Manchester City and Chelsea respectively, while Arsenal overcame Leverkusen and Sporting CP crafted a remarkable comeback against Bodo/Glimt, confirming their places in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Madrid eliminated Manchester City for the third consecutive season, thanks to a stunning double from Vinicius Junior.

Despite trailing 3-0 from the first leg, City began the match with urgency, seeking a potential comeback.

However, a combination of Thibaut Courtois's goalkeeping and missed opportunities kept the score at 0-0 until a penalty led to Bernardo Silva's red card and a goal for Madrid just 20 minutes in, complicating City's challenge.

City's perseverance paid off as they equalized at 41 minutes through Erling Haaland, while Jeremy Doku and Ryan Ait-Nouri had goals disallowed in the second half.

Ultimately, Vinicius Jr's last-minute strike secured a 2-1 win for Madrid, making it a bitter end for the Blues.

On another front, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, and Senny Mayulu propelled PSG to an impressive 8-2 aggregate victory over Chelsea in London.

Kvaratskhelia's early goal came just six minutes in, following a dominant performance. Barcola added to the tally with a precise finish during a swift counter-attack in the 15th minute.

Mayulu, who came on at halftime, scored a brilliant goal 17 minutes later, allowing the reigning champions to advance to face either Liverpool or Galatasaray in the next round.

Meanwhile, Eberechi Eze's thunderous strike helped Arsenal secure a quarter-final berth against Leverkusen with a 3-1 aggregate win.

Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal dominated early on, with goalkeeper Janis Blaswich making several crucial saves against players like Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard.

Eze's powerful goal right before halftime, following a slick passing move, put Arsenal ahead, and Rice's goal sealed a well-deserved victory.

In a thrilling match, Sporting CP became only the fifth team in Champions League history to overturn a three-goal deficit, scoring twice in extra time to defeat Bodo/Glimt.

After trailing 3-0 from the first leg, the hosts broke through with Goncalo Inácio's header from a corner. They maintained their momentum, with Pedro Gonçalves scoring after a brilliant team effort and Luis Suárez converting a penalty.

In extra time, Maximiliano Araújo's quick goal ignited celebrations, followed by a fifth from Rafael Nel, marking Sporting's first quarter-final appearance since the 1982/83 European Cup.
