Bayern Munich 1-3 Liverpool (1-3 agg): Reds cruise through - 5 talking points
Liverpool qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals by beating Bayern Munich 3-1 at the Allianz Arena.
Van Dijk then nodded in a monstrous header to give the Reds an unassailable second away goal before Mane grabbed his brace and a place in Friday's quarter-final and semi-final draws.1. The Senegalese King The Egyptian King, Mo Salah, might be on a goal drought but on the other wing Mane is bagging them in left, right and centre.
2. Klopp's midfield Klopp, like most neutrals, doesn't seem to have a clue what his best midfield is. Fabinho looked jittery from the off but grew into the game and was among Liverpool's best players in the second half.3. Gnabry's middle finger to Arsenal and others Serge Gnabry looks a man possessed by German football, and was a rare gem for Bayern on this occasion.
But his maturity has progressed as Weder Bremen and now Bayern - in a similar way to the younger Jadon Sancho.4. Matip's worrying form In the battle of the howlers there was a stewards' enquiry and a photo finish. Both players' returns are high anticipated with Matip losing his form - the Cameroonian could be four choice centre back very soon if he isn't careful despite the results still coming.
