Champions League: Real Madrid, Napoli reach quarter-finals

Madrid defeated Liverpool 1-0 in Wednesday’s second leg to go through 6-2 on aggregate while Napoli dispatched Frankfurt 3-0 after Randal Kolo Muani picked up a red card

Both holders Real Madrid and Napoli secured their places in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after beating Liverpool and Eintracht Frankfurt respectively.

Both of those teams knew that entering this game, all they had to do was contain their opponent. While Liverpool has a history of comebacks in the Champions League, it failed to exact one on Real Madrid. As a result, for the fourth time in the last six seasons, Los Blancos eliminate the Reds in the Champions League.

Madrid defeated Liverpool 1-0 in Wednesday’s second leg to go through 6-2 on aggregate while Napoli won 3-0 on the night to secure a 5-0 aggregate triumph in the last 16.

Karim Benzema scored the only goal of the game in Spain as the record 14-time European champions eased into the last eight following a 5-2 victory at Anfield in February.

For Napoli, Victor Osimhen struck either side of half-time and Piotr Zielinski added another from the penalty spot for Serie A’s runaway leaders.
