SPOILERS!




















5 Daniel Alves (Sevilla) scores on free-kick! Sevilla make it all-square overall as Daniel Alves lines up a free-kick and from fully 25 metres sends a shot fizzing past Fenerbahçe goalkeeper Volkan Demirel, beating him to his left despite getting a touch to the ball. It is only Alves second UEFA Champions League goal.

9 Keita (Sevilla) scores! Sevilla have turned the tie completely in their favour now as Seydou Keita hits a stunning drive from even further out than Alves' free-kick. Volkan Demirel might have done better once more as the ball goes straight through him and flies into the top-right corner of the net. Sevilla now lead 4-3 on aggregate and the visitors need to score at least twice to stay in the hunt.

20 Deivid (Fenerbahçe) scores! Fenerbahçe pull themselves right back in the tie as Deivid grabs his third goal of this season's UEFA Champions League - the Brazilian smashing the ball in low right-footed from just inside the penalty area after meeting a corner from the left. The Turkish side still trail on the away goals rule however.

41 Kanouté (Sevilla) scores! Sevilla restore a two-goal advantage on the night as first goalscorer Alves chips the ball over from the right for Frédéric Kanouté, who controls with his chest before turning and volleying the ball in.

79 Deivid (Fenerbahçe) scores! High drama in Spain as Deivid gets his second goal of the night to draw Fenerbahçe level. Alex chipped a high, lofted free-kick into the penalty area which an unmarked Deivid latched onto, turning and striking his initial effort against the post before putting the rebound in from close range. As things stand we are heading for extra time.

- The penalties are over.
- Daniel Alves (Sevilla) missed the penalty saved by the goalkeeper.
------

3 Xavi (Barcelona) scores! Barcelona put together a fine move, keeping possession and passing the ball around confidently, before Ronaldinho plays a cute flick into the path of Sylvinho down the left. The Brazilian sends over a cross and Xavi Hernández is there to flick the ball over Artur Boruc. The Spanish side now lead 4-2 on aggregate and look strong favourites.
------

41 Cristiano Ronaldo (Man. United) scores! Manchester United break Lyon's resistance four minutes before half-time after a low cross from the right causes havoc in the visitors' box. Nani has the first shot, which is blocked, but Cristiano Ronaldo gives the Lyon defence no chance as he squeezes the ball inside Grégory Coupet's right-hand post. United now lead 2-1 on aggregate.
--------

84 Fabregas (Arsenal) scores! Milan's grip on the trophy is now hanging by a thread after the holder's lost possession in midfield before the ball broke to Fabregas on the left. The Spanish international drifted in before hitting a low shot that beat Zeljko Kalac low to his right. Arsenal are now in the driving seat with Milan needing to score twice in the final six minutes.

90+2Adebayor (Arsenal) scores! Arsenal have sealed their place in the quarter-finals now as substitute Theo Walcott shows his pace to get down the right and cross for Emmanuel Adebayor. The striker puts the ball in at the far post for his first goal in this season's competition - one that means Milan will surely not be featuring in the quarter-final draw.
