Goodbye for now
That’s it from our live coverage of Tuesday’s Champions League quarterfinals.
Paris Saint-Germain stun Barcelona in Spain as Kylian Mbappe scores twice in a 4-1 win to lead the French champions to a 6-4 aggregate win.
They now face Borussia Dortmund, who overcame Atletico Madrid with a 5-4 aggregate win having trailed 2-1 from the first-leg.
We’ll be back on Wednesday with Manchester City against Real Madrid and we’ll keep our up-to-date with Arsenal’s match at Bayern Munich.
For now, though – from me, Kevin Hand – it’s goodbye.

Barcelona well beaten by Paris Saint-Germain
The tie ultimately turned on the Ronald Araujo red card in the first half but PSG started the match at breakneck speed.
The Barca opener, though, Raphinha was against the run of play but from that point, the Spaniards must have thought they would boss the game.
Ousmane Dembele, Vitinho and Kylian Mbappe, with a brace, had other ideas and the trio, along with Bradley Barcola, were a continuous threat all night.
Barca go out but PSG march on and can do so full of belief.
FULL-TIME: Barcelona 1-4 Paris Saint-Germain (4-6)
That’s it! Barcelona go out of the Champions League and PSG can dream of their first Champions League crown.
