1. 92'

   Join us at Soccernet next week for both Champions League quarter-finals. See you then!

2. 92'

   Mission accomplished for Liverpool. No away goal conceded and that showdown with the Reds of Manchester is still on. It wasn't pretty but Houller will be happy with the end result.

3. 92'

   Zivkovic has the last touch of the ball as the referee puts his whistle to his lips and blows for full-time.

4. 91'

   Basturk fouled by Murphy. The quick free-kick comes to nothing. Liverpool fail to break but Bayer fail to test Dudek with a lofted ball.

5. 90'

   Gerrard did well to head away with Kirsten lurking with intent.

6. 89'

   A foul on Ballack gives Bayer a chance to launch the ball into the danger zone.

7. 89'

   A break on for Litmanen is swept up by Lucio. Liverpool just can't hold possession.

8. 88'

   Heskey miscues when he a real chance to test Butt. At the other end Henchoz fires away from danger.

9. 87'

   Gerrard attacks down the left but his lob finds a Bayer shirt. The Germans attack again but Sebescan is punished for a challenge on Riise when he seemed to be bearing down on goal.

10. 86'

    Kirsten nearly reaches a ball from Basturk. Then Ze Roberto controls and seemed likely to lob over Dudek but Carragher gets there in the nick of time.

11. 84'

    Ballack finds space down the left. He cuts in and fancies a shot. He fires over. Poor stuff from the man who was supposedly the dangerman.

12. 82'

    Riise takes from the right. Hamann fouls Kirsten in an attempt to reach the ball.

13. 81'

    Gerard Houllier paces the touchline. Bayer are giving him cause for concern. But now Murphy wins a corner.

14. 80'

    In Athens, Panathinaikos lead Barcelona 1-0. A shock scoreline.

15. 80'

    Schneider forces a corner. Hamann clears the kick and Liverpool break with Berger. But his looped ball finds Litmanen offside.

16. 78'

    Schneider had a glimmer of a chance as the ball is looped in but Hyypia is calm in defence.

17. 77'

    Bayer enjoying more attacking impetus. But Liverpool look comfortable in defence.

18. 76'

    Bayer forced to go back to Butt. He clears and Bayer can build an attack. Kirsten gets the ball but can't control and Liverpool clear.

19. 75'

    Now Patrik Berger comes on for compatriot Smicer, who's been peripheral in the main.

20. 74'

    Murphy gets the ball on the edge of the area. He cuts in and tries to play in Litmanen. The Finn can't get there.

21. 73'

    Hyypia is booked for a reckless foul on Sebescen. Free-kick aimed for Ulf Kirsten, on for Neuville.

22. 72'

    Ze Roberto is casual and Litmanen can break. But Smicer goes down too easily.

23. 70'

    Owen, despite his part in Liverpool's goal, has not looked his usual self.

24. 69'

    A shock substitution as Owen goes off for Jari Litmanen.

25. 68'

    Ze Roberto in space. But Hyypia clears only to give it back to Bayer.
