The UEFA Champions League continues without Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the Quarter-Finals, for the second successive season. Ronaldo's Manchester United crashed out of the elite competition after losing to Atletico Madrid 2-1 on aggregate.

Meanwhile, Messi's Paris Saint-Germain faced an unexpected early elimination by Real Madrid with an aggregate result of 4-2. The shocks and surprises didn't stop there as reigning UEFA Europa League champions, Villarreal knocked out Serie A side Juventus out of the last 16.
