Champions League Results 2018: Top Scorers After Wednesday Quarter-Final Ties
Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane each scored their seventh UEFA Champions League goals on Wednesday as Liverpool stunned Manchester City 3-0 at Anfield.
Meanwhile, Barcelona benefited from two own goals as they beat Roma 4-1 at the Camp Nou, with Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez also getting on the scoresheet.
Here are Wednesday's results:
- Liverpool 3-0 Man City
- Barcelona 4-1 Roma
Here are the top scorers in the tournament, per WhoScored.com:
1. Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid: 14
2. Wissam Ben Yedder, Sevilla: 8
3. Roberto Firmino, Liverpool: 7
4. Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur: 7
5. Edinson Cavani, Paris Saint-Germain: 7
6. Mohamed Salah, Liverpool: 7
7. Sadio Mane, Liverpool: 7
8. Lionel Messi, Barcelona: 6
9. Neymar, Paris Saint-Germain: 6
10. Edin Dzeko, Roma: 5
Despite City controlling the possession early on, Liverpool stunned City inside 12 minutes as Salah broke the deadlock.
The Egyptian offloaded to Roberto Firmino after a surging run upfield and received the ball back off the Brazilian after he saw his shot saved by Ederson and Kyle Walker failed to clear his lines.
Salah duly converted from close range, per The Independent's Miguel Delaney:
Just eight minutes later, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain doubled the Reds' tally with a vicious effort from the edge of the area.
By the half-hour mark, Liverpool were 3-0 up as Salah curled in a cross for Mane to head home, per football writer Melissa Reddy:
Although City were able to regain some composure and controlled much of the match after the break, they nevertheless failed to trouble Liverpool's goal, per football writer Jack Lusby:
At the Camp Nou, Barcelona took the lead seven minutes before the break when Daniele De Rossi intercepted Andres Iniesta's pass to prevent Lionel Messi from receiving it, but he contrived to turn the ball into his own goal.
Roma were similarly unfortunate shortly after the restart, when Samuel Umtiti's effort rebounded off the post and went in via Kostas Manolas.
As Squawka Football noted, Barcelona have been the beneficiaries of several own goals in the Champions League this season:
Gerard Pique tapped in a rebound from Suarez soon after, before Edin Dzeko netted his fifth Champions League goal of the campaign. The striker picked up the ball from Diego Perotti and held off Jordi Alba before firing past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Suarez rounded out the scoring with his first European goal since Barcelona's 6-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain last year, capitalising on some poor defending from Federico Fazio to tuck home.
