Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, speaking to BT Sport: "We played better this season. It was always going to be a whirlwind here and that was what it was. Second half the energy level dropped for Porto and we could control the game and score the goals.
"We are more experienced, that is clear. We had difficult away games and we knew it would be the same as at City and Roma last year. It is all good. A difficult game but we go to the semi-finals.
"It is first time for me to play Barcelona, apart from in friendlies. I am looking forward to that."

A very good point from my colleague Emlyn Begley...

Porto 1-4 Liverpool (agg 1-6)
Liverpool
Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson on BT Sport: "They are a good a team, they made it intense and the lads dug in and defended really well. They had some half chances. You could see the effort that we put in. I was warming up when Sadio [Mane] scored and I thought it was a goal. I think I was the only one.
"Thankfully it was given and it gave us a real boost coming in at half time.
"When I came on I tried to keep the ball and be sensible. Joe [Gomez] made a great run [for Roberto Firmino's goal], I just tried to hit an area and it's a great finish from Bobby,
"The scoreline flattered us a little bit. Porto had a real good go. Even when we went in front it was a real good atmosphere."

And Man City and Tottenham have got to do it all over again on Saturday in the Premier League...

Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham's Christian Eriksen, who gave the ball away in the build-up to Raheem Sterling's disallowed goal, speaking to BT Sport: "I must be one of the luckiest guys on the planet tonight. I thought it was all over but It was a fun game. It was a rollercoaster, we gave them a lot but also got a lot it was a weird game.
"After today we take a deep breathe, it will be a fairytale to play them and fun to be back in the Arena again."

Not sure my ticker can cope with that again on Saturday. Sad City fan, but very proud.

Let's put the talk of the quad away. You need luck as well as skill. There was only talk of the treble in '99 when both teams walked out on the pitch for the final. City have been talking about that since September 2018. Thanks Spurs.

They think it's all over...
It is now.

Tottenham's Son Heung-min speaking to BT Sport: "I have never seen something like this, It was tough and crazy but we are very proud of our team-mates. It was madness. Sometimes you are annoyed with VAR but today it is thank you. We fought together for 90 minutes. We showed unbelievable character and fight."

There's so much to talk about. Should Fernando Llorente's crucial goal - the one that has seen them through on away goals - have stood?
Was it handball?
Pep Guardiola celebrates with his staff...then the realisation dawns that Raheem Sterling's 'winner' has been disallowed...

I looked at both managers at the end of the game and they both looked absolutely shattered. Pep Guardiola went down the touchline in celebration and then the game is taken off them. Mauricio Pochettino is off celebrating in front of the away end. Incredible stuff.
So it will be Tottenham v Ajax and Liverpool v Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.

Martin: Wow. Wow. Wow. What an unbelievable game. That’s why knockout football is so great to watch. Certainly for the neutral!
Ellis: Never ever seen a game like that in my life. Had everything, and the dramatic twist of emotions at the end. Unreal match.
Day: Ajax V Barca final it is then.

The best game of football I have ever seen.
FT: Man City 4-3 Tottenham (Agg 4-4)
The Man City fans are singing Blue Moon. They know their players have given everything.
The Spurs players are absolutely delirious. They're bouncing up and down in front of their own supporters.

Wow. This game had absolutely everything. It was incredible entertainment. Well done to Tottenham to dig in when they had to and getting the goal. They rode their luck here and there and both teams played their part.
Man City 4-3 Tottenham (Agg 4-4)
It looks like there are tears on the faces of the Man City players. They thought they had won it. Raheem Sterling scored the winner but it was ruled out via VAR.
You will never, ever, ever see drama like that again.
