Analysis:
Real Madrid vs. PSG:
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in Real Madrid’s 3-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League round-of-16 first-leg tie on Wednesday, giving his team the advantage for the return game in France. Adrien Rabiot gave the visitors the lead, but Ronaldo tied things up from the penalty spot, bagging his 100th UEFA Champions League goal for Los Blancos. He scored again inside the final 10 minutes, and Marcelo gave Los Blancos some breathing room with a third goal.
Porto vs. Liverpool:
Venue: Estadio do Dragao
Sadio Mane scored a hat-trick, while Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino also found the net, as Liverpool thrashed FC Porto 5-0 in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie at the Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday night. Liverpool deserve the plaudits for producing a comprehensive display at one of Europe’s most difficult venues. With their pace and fluidity up front, the Reds are a threat to any side left in this competition.
