Victory over the two legs means Real Madrid, who are trying to win the competition for a 14th time, face another English test in the last four where they will meet Chelsea | Liverpool's Champions League run is over and next up for them is Leeds United in the Premier League on Monday |
Real Madrid coverage in other countries | Liverpool still pressed forward and Thiago's cross-field ball was brilliantly kept alive by Alexander-Arnold only for Firmino's shot on the turn to rebound off Eder Militao when that vital breakthrough seemed likely |

Mario Balotelli was a lot criticised for his efficiency on the evening and incurred the wrath of some supporters when he swapped shirts with Pepe at half time |
Salah played the ball into the path of Milner, who let fly from 25 yards, but Courtois leapt to his left to push the ball away from goal.
