Champions league QFs

The 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League kicks off today with two matches that some would consider done and dusted due to 1st leg results. Liverpool play at Chelsea and Barcelona make the trip to the Allianz Arena to play Bayern Munich.
Liverpool are down 3-1 to a resurgent Chelsea side after the reds let in three away goals while Bayern face a similar uphill task with a 4-0 deficit from the first leg.
