Despite facing 28 attempts on goal from PSG, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker stepped up and made a series of crucial saves to keep his team in the game. PSG, who had scored an impressive 21 goals in their last five Champions League matches, were unable to replicate their finishing prowess against the Brazilian shot-stopper.

"It was probably the performance of my life," Alisson told TNT Sports. 

"To go away with a win over here was probably a bit more than we deserved," added Slot.

If Liverpool finish the job at home next Tuesday, they could face Aston Villa in the quarter-finals, but PSG coach Luis Enrique said his side will have "nothing to lose".

"We deserved to win clearly, we created a lot of chances," said the Spaniard. "Football is unfair many times and you have to accept that."

Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern closed in on the last eight with a first win over Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen in seven matches.

The England captain headed in Michael Olise's superb cross to give Bayern the lead at the Allianz Arena.

Jamal Musiala added a second early in the second half when Leverkusen goalkeeper Matej Kovar let an innocuous delivery into the box from Joshua Kimmich slip from his grasp.

Bayern lost Manuel Neuer to injury before the night went from bad to worse for Leverkusen, who had Nordi Mukiele sent off.

Kane rounded off the scoring from the penalty spot following a VAR review after he was impeded by Edmond Tapsoba.

"It was a really big step in the right direction. We've struggled against this side over the last couple of years," Kane told DAZN.

A downbeat Alonso admitted it would take a remarkable turn of events for Leverkusen to overturn the deficit.

"In football we've seen big miracles quite often and we almost need one," he said.
