A 1-0 victory at Highbury was not enough for Arsenal to overturn a 3-1 deficit, as Bayern München held on to book a place in the last eight. Back in Germany, Liverpool duplicated the 3-1 victory two weeks ago, once again leading 3-0 until the final minutes, when Jacek Krzynowek scored a consolation goal for Bayer Leverkusen. Luis Garcia did the damage early on, scoring twice within four-and-a-half minutes.
So two English sides are through to the quarter-finals (Chelsea and Liverpool); Juventus and Real Madrid are still in the second half of extra time as I write this, Trezeguet having scored in the 76th minute. The game's getting a bit scrappy now, with Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic getting sent off and yellow cards going to Santiago Solari and Alessio Tacchinardi.
And Marcelo Zalayeta has scored for Juve! Just a few minutes to be played out now under the silver goal rule, and Real must throw everyone forward to equalize.
But time has run out, and Ronaldinho must be red-faced now as Spain has no team left in the competition. Better luck next time around.
