A phenomenal end to a legendary Champions League round

From a neutral's perspective nobody can know what will come next with regards to the Champions League this season. Few could have imagined  the events that would transpire by the time the final whistle would be blown to mark an end to this season's quarter finals. Drama ensued as favourites Barcelona and Manchester City were unprecedently knocked out of the competition.

Liverpool ousted the seemingly invincible Manchester City in some fashion with a 5-1 aggregate win sending the Cityzens' season into a tail spin in the process. Over in italy, the Stadio Olympico played host to one of those magical European football nights where AS Roma flipped the script turning the tables on Barcelona with a 3-0 come back win to progress to semi-finals for only the second time in their history .

Undoubtedly, the result of the round has to go to the tie of the round as Real Madrid had a rollercoaster ride as Juventus put on a Herculean effort to level the tie going 3-0 up before heartbreak struck as a last gasp Cristiano Ronaldo penalty allowed Real to scrape past the Old Lady.

And fans have been left in disbelief as to what this year's competition has in store and what more drama could yet ensue as there is a good chance that we could see current favourites Real Madrid and Liverpool in a match which would be worth of a final. Or Mo Salah could face his old employers in a clash of styles if the Reds draw Roma. The possibilities are endless and so fans have been left to ask what's next?
