Two goals from Sadio Mane and another from Virgil van Dijk see off Bayern Munich as Liverpool secure passage into the Champions League quarter-finals.
No Liverpool player has scored more away goals in European Cup/Champions League history than Sadio Mane
However, the Reds carried more of a cutting edge and took the lead in the tie in the 26th minute when Mane displayed an exquisite touch to bring down Van Dijk's raking pass before firing into an empty net after Manuel Neuer had rushed from his goal. The Reds' win means there will be four representatives from the Premier League in the last eight for the first time since 2009.Bayern's starting XI contained six players aged 30 and older and they lacked energy and ideas in attack. Liverpool, on the other hand, never needed to exert themselves too much bar a 15-minute period at the end of the first half.
Klopp's men must have expected a second-half onslaught but Bayern found it difficult to get behind Liverpool's backline. Aside from Matip's own goal, the five-time winners never once forced Alisson into making a good save. There were flashes of brilliance from former Arsenal winger Gnabry, but his more experienced team-mates Franck Ribery, James Rodriguez and Lewandowski failed to make an impact.
