Despite a 1-2 loss to Barcelona in the second leg, Atletico Madrid clinched a spot in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

Their earlier 2-0 win in the first leg proved pivotal, allowing them to progress with a total score of 3-2 over the two matches.

Barcelona began aggressively, taking the lead with a goal from Lamine Yamal in the 4th minute and another from Ferran Torres at the 24-minute mark, putting Atletico under pressure.

Atletico quickly countered as Ademola Lookman scored in the 31st minute, a critical goal that preserved their aggregate lead.

Now, Atletico Madrid awaits the outcome of the Arsenal vs. Sporting Lisbon clash, where Arsenal holds a slight edge after their first-leg victory.

In another match, Paris Saint-Germain continued their impressive run by defeating Liverpool 2-0 in the second leg, securing their place in the semi-finals.

Ousmane Dembele shone brightly, netting both goals in the 72nd minute and in stoppage time, adding to their comprehensive triumph.

Having also won the first leg by the same score at Parc des Princes, PSG delivered a commanding performance overall in the quarter-finals.

Looking forward, PSG will meet the winner of the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, with Bayern currently leading 2-1 from the first leg.
