OK, we will return to Liverpool's win in Paris and Alisson's goalkeeping exploits a little later on, but let's have a look at reaction to Wednesday's other three ties, starting with a great night for Harry Kane and Bayern Munich...

Tuesday, 11 March

• Barcelona v Benfica (1-0 agg, 17:45)
• Inter Milan v Feyenoord (2-0 agg)
• Liverpool v Paris St-Germain(1-0 agg)
• Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich (0-3 agg)

Wednesday, 12 March

• Lille v Borussia Dortmund (1-1 agg, 17:45)
• Aston Villa v Club Brugge(3-1 agg)
• Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid(1-2 agg)
• Arsenal v PSV Eindhoven(7-1 agg)

We don't have long to wait for the resolution of the last-16 ties - the second legs will be played next week, 11-12 March.

Just a reminder that, should Liverpool and Aston Villa make it through, then they will meet in the quarter-finals.

Opta's latest stats suggest that Arsenal can now look forward to a last-eight tie against either Real Madrid or Atletico. Real take a 2-1 aggregate lead over their city rivals into the away leg on 12 March.

That's according to everyone's favourite Supercomputer.

The Reds' 1-0 victory over Paris St-Germain in the first leg now has them with an 84.6% chance of reaching the quarter-finals, while they are being given a 26% probability of winning the competition as a whole.

There is absolutely no way Arsenal don't make the quarter-finals after their thumping 7-1 win - they've been given a 100% chance of making it through to the next stage, while they have a 13.8% likelihood of winning the lot.

Aston Villa's impressive 3-1 victory over Club Brugge has them with one foot in the quarter-finals, too. They've been given a big old 93.6% chance of making it through, but, according to Opta, only a 1.6% probability of lifting their first European Cup since 1982.

We said before that PSG would give this Liverpool team a good test and I don't think that we have seen this Liverpool side ever being so dominated in a game. I think PSG's counter-pressing worked amazingly well. Liverpool could hardly put three passes together, but at the end of the day if you don't take your chances, if you don't score, you will pay for it. It's a shame but it's part of a learning curve for this team.

We suspect Paris St-Germain boss Luis Enrique, for example, may not have been quite so happy about the offside decision. But the former Barcelona midfielder is experienced enough to know that football is all about fine margins at this level.

“My feelings right now - it’s difficult to think about the match in a positive way because I think we deserved to win, clearly. We created a lot of chances," Enrique told TNT Sports.

“I think it’s one of the best matches that we did in the Champions League this season.

“When you think that the best player of Liverpool was their goalkeeper, Alisson, football is many times unfair and we have to accept that. But, we are ready to [go to] Liverpool!

“We don’t have anything to lose. I think we’ve overcome Liverpool. Liverpool is the best team in Europe and today they almost create one or two chances maximum and we created a lot. I feel proud of my players, my team, of the supporters.”

I have a feeling this question on the semi-automated offsides may be a subjective one, Josh, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

And despite all of Liverpool's defensive solidity, coupled with Alisson's brilliance, the Reds still had the heel of PSG's Georgian wizard Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to thank for their clean sheet...

A look at the map showing the average player positions from each side really highlights the dominance of Paris St-Germain yesterday evening.

It almost looks like a lopsided FA Cup tie of a giant taking on a minnow - certainly not PSG v Liverpool.

Only two players in Luis Enrique's side had average positions in their own half - the centre-back pairing of Marquinhos and Willian Pacho. Everyone else was camped inside Liverpool territory.

Right-back Achraf Hakimi, though attack-minded anyway, was essentially playing as a winger alongside Ousmane Dembele and while not as high on the other side, Nuno Mendes had crept over halfway.

On the flip side, look at Liverpool.

It's hard to recall a time when the Reds have been penned so deep in their own half.

Only Mohamed Salah had an average position in the half of PSG on the night - and barely at that.

Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate were essentially glued to their own 18-yard box - a huge contrast to the last Premier League match against Newcastle United when both averaged positions around the halfway line.

The same can be said for the usual attack-minded full-backs in Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson. Neither were able to get out of first gear and were forced to stick to their defensive duties from minute one.

Alisson's nine saves against Paris St-Germain were the most recorded by a Liverpool goalkeeper in a Champions League game on record.

The Brazil stopper surpassed his own record of eight saves, set in Liverpool's Champions League final victory in 2019 over Tottenham Hotspur.

Two other Liverpool goalkeepers had made eight saves in a Champions League tie - Simon Mignolet against Real Madrid in 2014 and Pepe Reina versus Chelsea in April 2008.

As today's Star puts it, Liverpool are "Harv way there".

Here is what goalscorer Harvey Elliott had to say to TNT Sports after his winner in the first leg of their last-16 tie at Paris St-Germain:

"Full credit to the team, you could see that PSG became a bit tired towards the end and that was down to the team's workrate.

"They were creating many chances but thanks to this man [Alisson] and the defence, we did it. It was down to me to put the opportunity away and thankfully it went in."

On Alisson's performance: "No words. This guy is unbelievable. The best in the world. Every game he shows it, he keeps us in so many games.

"Tonight I had an opportunity to repay this man. I don't know where we would be without him. Hopefully he can keep stopping them going in and we can keep finishing chances."

We have shown you Harvey Elliott's winner, want to watch the rest of this week's Champions League goals? Oh, go on then...

Click here to watch the highlights from all eight of this week's first-leg ties in the last 16.

Alan, Cork: Re John at 07:28. Surely Utds Champions League final win in 99 is up there. Bayern should have been out of sight before the Utd smash and grab!

Jed: These sort of nights are not unusual for Liverpool, remember Barcelona 3-0 down from first leg to win 4-3?

Mark: RE John @ 07:28 - Celtic beating Barcelona at the Nou Camp 2-1 springs to mind.

It's been a while, let's have another look at Harvey Elliott's match-winning goal...

Nedum Onuoha: When I saw Salah come off for Harvey Elliott, I’m thinking it’s probably not the most progressive substitution.

But the fact is, the manager trusts him. At times, when you are suffering as a team, you’re just hoping for a moment and if it does come, can you take it?

Thomas Hitzlsperger: When Salah’s coming off and Elliott’s coming on, they’re probably thinking, ‘let’s go home, 0-0, get one point, it’s fine, with this performance, it’s enough.’

But Harvey going forward is unbelievable because he’s supposed to defend, but instead he goes forward because he’s realised [Nuno] Mendes isn’t tracking back and there you go.

Rory Smith: I think he [Arne Slot] had decided that he was quite happy with the draw and was going to see the game out.

Salah wasn’t that happy to come off but he hadn’t really affected the game at all.

This was the moment that changed it all for Liverpool yesterday evening.

Granted, it doesn't quite hold the significance that Mario Gotze's winning goal from the bench had in the 2014 World Cup final for Germany - but it could still be a pivotal moment in Liverpool's Champions League campaign.

Elliott was on the pitch for 47 seconds before he found the net with the winner in what was the Reds' only shot on target of the evening.
