Champions league Day 1 Second Leg results: How it happened

The Second leg of the Quarter Finals played on day 1 where Liverpool hosted Manchester City and Barcelona were up against Roma.

Before the match commenced, the scores were as follows (i.e the results from the first leg):

Barcelona 4 - 1 Roma
Liverpool 3 - 0 Man City.

It was drama all through in the both games as the losing sides were first to score the night in the two games.

ROMA VS BARCELONA

Barcelona was left very vulnerable in defence while Roma held hold of the strikers including world best player, Lionel Messi.

Edin Dzeka showed what he was made of as he capitalised on the errors of the Barcelona defence to score his first goal in the sixth minute.
That did not end the saga and Roma went on to score two more goal and was level on aggregate score before the 80th (4-4)

Roma won on the night by 3 - 0 and advanced on away goals rule.

Seeing off Barcelona out of the Champions League for the third season in a row.

LIVERPOOL VS MAN CITY
Liverpool was on the front foot against their English rivals after they won the first leg by 3 goals to nothing.

Man City started like a house on fire after just 57 seconds they had the ball in the back of the net through Jesus Gabriel. But, the Reds held on until the first half was over.

A game which saw Pep Guardiola sent to the stands for using some words against the Ref after the first 45 minutes of the game.

Liverpool came out of the half stronger and M. Salah was quick to break the hearts of the Citizens with an early goal and then R. Firminho completed the anahiliation of Manchester City from the champions league.

The Liverpool win ensures that Manchester city lost in the champions home and away to Liverpool with a 5 - 1 aggregate score.

Man Utd vs Chelsea match preview and prediction

Man Utd vs Chelsea preview and prediction Chelsea FC under Conte have won Man Utd three times and drawn twice with the Special Man and his boys only able to win just one game. Chelsea FC currently sit in 4th position 2 points adrift their opponents. Chelsea Striker issue? Chelsea have been faced with striker issues in past weeks before purchasing Olivier Giroud from Arsenal and letting Batshuayi go on loan to Dortmund. Alvaro Morata have not been able to find his form since the encounter against Manchester United earlier this season. Chelsea have started Eden Hazard as false 9 in their past 3 games in the Premier League, winning only one of those and losing two - Bournemouth and Watford, conceding 7 goals in the process. Conte have been finding it difficult to pick a starting Striker even against Barcelona, where he also played the Belgian, Hazard as false nine but was able to contain the Spanish Giants to a one-all draw. We believe he would be starting Olivier Giroud for...

What's still at stake for Africa's stars in the Premier League?

As the Premier League season draws to a close, KweséESPN run down what's at stake for African stars up and down the division. Victor Moses appears primed to become the first Nigerian since his compatriot John Obi Mikel in 2015 to win the Premier League title, with Chelsea four points clear of Tottenham Hotspur with four matches to play. It's not a done deal -- particularly considering Spurs' relentless form -- but despite a romping London derby victory over Arsenal last weekend, Tottenham are outsiders. Should Chelsea get over the line, Moses would become the third Nigerian to claim a Premier League winner's medal after the aforementioned Mikel and Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu, who became the first player from the West African nation to clinch the title. For Spurs, Victor Wanyama was outstanding against the Gunners, thoroughly dominating the midfield, and will surely still harbour hopes of becoming the first Kenyan to win the EPL. In terms of continental qualificati...
