Real Madrid cruise into the Champions League quarter-finals as they beat Ligue 1 leaders Paris St-Germain at Parc des Princes two goals to one resulting in a 5-2 aggregate in favor of Los Blancos .

Cristiano Ronaldo headed in from Lucas Vazquez's cross to put the European  ahead while PSG had midfielder Marco Verratti sent off for two bookable offences, before Edinson Cavani pulled a goal back and Casemiro's deflected strike sealed the Spanish giants victory.

Cristiano (117 goals) is the 20th top scorer in the Champions League when compared to other teams overtaking Monaco (114) and Shakhtar (115) and only 12 behind Ajax

Liverpool are also in the Champions League quarter-finals after a 0-0 second-leg draw at Anfield gave them a 5-0 aggregate win over Porto in their last-16 tie. It is the first time since 2009 the Reds have reached the last eight.

They will discover their next opponents when the draw is made on 16 March.
