Real Madrid and Liverpool have emerged as the first two quarter-finalists in this season’s Champions League.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened scoring in the second half, before Javier Pastore’s header bounced off two Real defenders hitting Cavani to make it 1-1.

The winner came via Casemiro’s deflected effort, ensuring Zinedine Zidane’s men progressed on a 5-2 aggregate.

In the other game of the day, Liverpool drew 0-0 with FC Porto at Anfield.

The Reds won the first leg 5-0 in Portugal pinning them at 5-0 aggregate.

Neymar: Brazilian Football Federation Confirms His Successful Surgery 
 

Neymar Jr, Brazil and Paris St Germain forward, has had a successful operation on his injured foot and ankle.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said this in a statement on Saturday.

The world’s most expensive footballer was operated on in Belo Horizonte by the Brazil national team doctor.

The medical expert fixed the fractured metatarsal and sprained ankle he suffered in last weekend’s French Ligue 1 match against Olympique de Marseille.

“He will be re-evaluated in around six weeks in order to specify a possible date when he can return to training,” CBF said.

Not only will he miss next week’s game against Real Madrid, his participation in this season’s Champions League would be over unless the Ligue 1 giants reach the final in Kiev.

Neymar will also have to sit out Brazil’s friendlies against Russia and Germany.

However, the 26-year-old is expected to recover in time for the World Cup in Russia.
