Manchester City cantered into the Champions League quarter-finals after Erling Haaland plundered an extraordinary five goals against RB Leipzig . The Norwegian broke several records thanks to his stunning evening, moving past Lionel Messi. Aiming to join their Premier League rivals in the last eight are Liverpool , but the Reds need a miracle to overturn a their 5-2 aggregate deficit to Real Madrid . Elsewhere, Cristiano Ronaldo was punished for a display of frustration as Al-Nassr got their Saudi Pro League title hopes back on track. And Mikel Arteta is weighing up handing Gabriel Jesus his first start since November when Arsenal host Sporting Lisbon on Thursday.

The action on the pitch and away from it is coming thick and fast, so keep it right here as Mirror Football keeps you up to date with all the latest football news. 08:33 Jacob Leeks Haaland achieves rare ratings feat Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland has become just the second player to be given a perfect 10 rating from notoriously harsh French publication L'Equipe. The Norwegian striker achieved the feat as a result of his remarkable performance against Red Bull Leipzig on Tuesday night in the Champions League round-of-16 second-leg. In just 63 minutes worth of playing time, Haaland bagged five goals against the German outfit as City ran riot and won 7-0 on the night, 8-1 on aggregate. An overwhelming amount of elite-level players go their entire career without being given a perfect 10 rating from L'Equipe, but this is already Haaland's second this season.

The first came after the Manchester derby at the Etihad last October in a clash that City won 6-3 and saw their talismanic forward score a hat-trick and assist two.

The Spanish giants thrashed Jurgen Klopp’s men 5-2 in the first leg at Anfield with two goals each from Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema cushioning Militao’s strike. But despite their three-goal lead, Militao insists he and his pals will be taking nothing for granted against a side who have proved time and again in Europe and at home that they can score goals for fun and produce heroic comebacks when they need to.

In 2005, of course, Liverpool won the Champions League final on penalties against AC Milan after trailing 3-0 at half-time. And perhaps more pertinently, they beat Barcelona in the 2020 semi-finals by winning the second leg 4-0 after losing 3-0 in the first leg.

Haaland started for Manchester City on Tuesday evening as Pep Guardiola's men smashed the Bundesliga side 7-0 .

The star summer signing scored five of their goals, including a first-half hat-trick, as City stormed into the quarter-finals of the Champions League . Unsurprisingly, the Norwegian was put up to handle the post-match media duties, which included speaking to CBS Sports. Carragher, Richards and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry form the punditry team for the American broadcaster and were in attendance at the Etihad Stadium.

The superstar striker, 38, has failed to find the back of the net in his last two Saudi Pro League fixtures and was frustrated again during the King Cup quarter-final tie. Sami Al-Najei and Abdullah Al-Khaibari gave Al-Nassr an early two-goal lead but Ronaldo was clearly livid when the referee blew the half-time whistle as he attempted to burst out of his own half on the counter-attack. There had been two minutes of added time earmarked and the referee drew the first half to a close with 47:24 on the clock, so the Manchester United legend could have few complaints about his surging run being cut short.

Liverpool's 2022-23 season could probably be best summed up by two things that have happened to them in the past month - one was beating Manchester United 7-0 before losing 1-0 to Bournemouth , and another was going 2-0 up against Real Madrid before going down 5-2 . They still have, in theory, a chance to turn that Madrid tie around, but there has been some disappointing news for the squad as they head to Spanish capital on Tuesday.

The Norwegian's third was his 30th in the competition, a tally he has brought up in just 25 matches and at the age of 22 years and 236 days.

Kylian Mbappe previously held that record at 22 years and 352 days, placing the pair way ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi , who got his 30 in 48 games.

It's been an extraordinary evening of Champions League action, with Manchester City scoring seven past RB Leipzig and Erling Haaland grabbing for five of those goals.

Inter Milan made harder work of their tie against Porto but a goalless draw was enough for them to reach the quarter-finals thanks to their 1-0 lead from the first leg. We'll be back bright and early on Wednesday morning for more live coverage. See you then! 22:35 John Cross John Cross reports from historic Man City victory Erling Haaland sent a message of intent to the rest of Europe on a night of goalscoring records. Haaland got five goals in total, beat RB Leipzig almost on his own and might have hit double figures had he not been substituted to a standing ovation with 27 minutes left. It almost felt as if Pep Guardiola was taking pity on Leipzig by taking off Haaland before he could inflict more humiliation in what was supposed to be a tight last-16 Champions League tie.

In the end, Haaland made it look like men against boys. He was bigger, better and more deadly than every other player on the pitch. It was embarrassingly one-sided. Haaland became only the third player - after Lionel Messi for Barcelona in 2012 and Luiz Adriano for Shakhtar Donetsk in 2014 - to score five goals in a single Champions League game.

The Norwegian's third was his 30th in the competition, a tally he has brought up in just 25 matches and at the age of 22 years and 236 days.

Full-time KEY EVENT FULL-TIME: MAN CITY 7-0 LEIPZIG (8-1 agg.) The referee has brought the Erling Haaland show to an end at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City cruise through to the Champions League quarter-finals with one of the most dominant performances seen in European competition in recent years.

This was a comprehensive team performance from the hosts, but Haaland will grab the headlines after a truly astonishing display. Kevin De Bruyne was also world class throughout the second leg and scored the goal his performance deserved in the dying seconds. Read the talking points from the fixture by clicking the link below. 57' KEY EVENT MAN CITY 6-0 LEIPZIG (7-1 agg.) Who else but Erling Haaland! This is one of the greatest individual performances seen on Europe's grandest stage this season and his name rings around the stadium.

We are witnessing greatness. 54' KEY EVENT MAN CITY 5-0 LEIPZIG (6-1 agg.) It's getting embarrassing for RB Leipzig - but the Etihad faithful don't mind! Erling Haaland adds his fourth of the night with a drilled finish following a scramble in the box to grab his 38th goal of the season, matching the record goalscoring season for a Manchester City player in the process. The other teams who remain in the Champions League should be very, very worried indeed.

49' KEY EVENT MAN CITY 4-0 LEIPZIG (5-1 agg.) Manchester City are running riot! It takes a matter of minutes for the Sky Blues to add their fourth of the night after a sweeping move which scythed through the RB Leipzig defence. This time it's Ilkay Gundogan who converts for the hosts, brushing into the bottom corner to leave City fans dreaming of who they will face in the quarter-finals. Half-time KEY EVENT HALF-TIME: MAN CITY 3-0 LEIPZIG (4-1 agg.) That's surely Mancehster City through to the quarter-finals! It's an Erling Haaland hat-trick as he bundles the ball over the line after Ruben Dias' header from a corner hits the post and dribbles across the goalmouth.

The hosts were rampant throughout the first half and, although Ederson was lucky to avoid punishment for taking out Timo Werner, they are fully deserving of their commanding lead.

Murray, who plays for Scottish League Two side Bonnyrigg Rose, came out as gay back in September and recently teamed up with the BBC for a new documentary to assess what more needs to be done to tackle homophobia in football.

But just hours before the series, Zander Murray - Out on the Pitch, aired on the BBC on Monday night, the 31-year-old was forced to respond to homophobic abuse in response to a Twitter post. In response to a user who had posted a derogatory message underneath a tweet Murray had shared applauding a young football fan, the striker said: "Fully expect some homophobic abuse or hate for bringing out a documentary trying to help people and our game. But to comment under this post!? Horrendous, get a grip." 19:44 Colin Millar Qatar exploring takeover of Spanish side Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), chaired by Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is exploring the possibility of buying a controlling stake in Spanish club Malaga. It comes amid a group led by Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani joining the bidding process to buy Manchester United.

The Glazers have pushed back their deadline to complete a sale of the club with the ownership situation at Old Trafford still unclear. The Glazer family are exploring outside investment or a full sale of the club they bought 18 years ago. The Americans are deeply unpopular among the club's fans, with the Red Devils having gone a decade without winning the Premier League title. 19:07 Colin Millar Wright and Ferdinand agree over 'untrustworthy' Liverpool Ian Wright has agreed with Rio Ferdinand that Liverpool will likely miss out on a Premier League top four spot and claimed “you can’t trust” Jurgen Klopp’s side. The Reds lost 1-0 at Bournemouth – who had started the day at the foot of the Premier League – on Saturday, just six days after they'd smashed Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield.

It continued a hugely erratic campaign, which has also league defeats against Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Wolves, Brighton and Brentford. Klopp’s side remain in the thick of the race for a top four spot but are languishing in sixth in the standings – six points off fourth-placed Tottenham, who have played one game more. Earlier this week, Ferdinand predicted that they would miss out on a top four spot and Champions League football for next season - and Wright agrees with his fellow pundit. Ian Wright ( Image: Arsenal FC via Getty Images) 18:45 Colin Millar Spurs-linked Enrique received Ronaldo backing Erik ten Hag has already made a significant impact since his appointment at Manchester United - but the Dutchman wasn't everybody's first choice for the job. Prior to his messy exit, Cristiano Ronaldo had his own ideas on who should succeed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

It was outlined at the time that Luis Enrique was Ronaldo's pick to replace Solskjaer after the Old Trafford hierarchy made the difficult decision to dispense with the Norwegian's services back in November 2021. The former Barcelona chief didn't get the call back then, with United instead opting to install Ralf Rangnick as an interim boss before swooping for Ten Hag back in the summer. However, Enrique is now in pole position to finally land a big Premier League job in the coming months. Luis Enrique ( Image: Angel Martinez - UEFA/UEFA via Getty Images) 18:22 Freddie Keighley Liverpool youngster in sickening clash of heads Liverpool Under-19's European encounter with Sporting Lisbon was marred by a sickening clash of heads which left Ben Doak requiring urgent medical attention. Doak, 17, lined up in attack for the young Reds and collapsed to the ground after leaping for a header and making contact with his Sporting opponent.

The teenager initially clutched his head in pain before sinking to the turf, promptly receiving on-pitch treatment from two Liverpool medics. Encouragingly, Doak was able to stand up after the harrowing incident, but he was withdrawn from the fray with just eight minutes played so he could be properly examined. It was the low point of a disappointing afternoon for Liverpool U19, who were eliminated from the UEFA Youth League after Rodrigo Ribeiro scored a second-half winner for Sporting. 17:47 Alan Smith Chelsea set for Club World Cup boost Chelsea will be given an automatic place in the first edition of FIFA’s expanded Club World Cup in the summer of 2025. The governing body have confirmed that the Stamford Bridge side will be involved in the summer tournament because they won the 2021 Champions League - and it is set to result in a payday of at least £25m.

Real Madrid, last season’s Champions League winners, and the next two victors will gain spots with eight more UEFA members to join them, likely based on coefficient ranking. The revamped competition will see 32 clubs broken into eight groups of four before reaching a knockout stage. It will take place every four years, although the FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in December that no host has been confirmed. Graham Potter ( Image: Justin Setterfield/Getty Images) 17:33 KEY EVENT Five things spotted as Liverpool travel in search of Madrid miracle Just when you think they might have cracked it, they go and shoot themselves in the foot again. Liverpool's 2022-23 season could probably be best summed up by two things that have happened to them in the past month - one was beating Manchester United 7-0 before losing 1-0 to Bournemouth, and another was going 2-0 up against Real Madrid before going down 5-2.

They still have, in theory, a chance to turn that Madrid tie around, but there has been some disappointing news for the squad as they head to Spanish capital on Tuesday. Here's what we spotted from training and the airport. Roberto Firmino of Liverpool ( Image: Liverpool FC via Getty Images) 17:14 Josh O'Brien Ceballos opens up on Arsenal unhappiness Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos has confessed he wanted to leave Arsenal soon after joining the Gunners on loan during Unai Emery's reign as manager. With Emery at the helm, Arsenal landed Ceballos' signature on loan in the summer of 2019. Few Gunners fans could forget his stunning debut against Burnley at home, which saw the Spaniard earn comparisons with Emirates favourite Santi Cazorla after just one game.

However, Ceballos failed to truly hit those heights at any other time during his stay in north London and has since confessed he never took to life at Arsenal and wanted to return to the Spanish capital almost immediately, though he admits there were some positives to his stint as a Gunner. Unai Emery talks to Dani Ceballos ( Image: Stuart MacFarlane/Arsenal FC via Getty Images) 16:40 Freddie Keighley Ronaldo's fury in Al-Nassr win Cristiano Ronaldo could not contain his fury as he was denied a chance to end his Al-Nassr goal drought during Tuesday afternoon's cup clash against Abha. The superstar striker, 38, has failed to find the back of the net in his last two Saudi Pro League fixtures and was frustrated again during the King Cup quarter-final tie. Sami Al-Najei and Abdullah Al-Khaibari gave Al-Nassr an early two-goal lead but Ronaldo was clearly livid when the referee blew the half-time whistle as he attempted to burst out of his own half on the counter-attack. He responded to the whistle by gesticulating angrily at the referee before picking up and booting the ball powerfully into the opposition half.

Ronaldo's act of petulance was punished with a yellow card, which only incensed him further as he trudged off the pitch towards the tunnel. Cristiano Ronaldo ( Image: Twitter/@SkyFootball) 16:22 Ben Husband Lineker's Twitter change spotted Gary Lineker is back at the BBC but has sent a clear message to bosses using the very words that adorn the walls of the corporation’s headquarters. The 62-year-old’s return to the broadcaster was confirmed on Monday after a weekend of chaos. Lineker had been temporarily suspended by the Beeb in light of social media posts criticising the Conservative government’s Illegal Migration Bill. On Monday, the BBC completed a humbling U-turn with director general Tim Davie confirming Lineker’s return.

The ex-Tottenham and Leicester forward thanked fans for their support whilst doubling down on his support of refugees fleeing war and persecution. And although he is now back in his old position, there is clearly some understandable, lingering resentment at the furore whipped up by his employers. In a pointed statement to bosses Lineker has updated his profile picture, with his face mocked up in front of the message outside the BBC’s London headquarters. 16:01 KEY EVENT Ramsey appointed Wales captain New Wales captain Aaron Ramsey relishes the chance to atone for the “hurt” he suffered when stripped of the armband as a youngster. Wales boss Rob Page has named Ramsey as Gareth Bale’s successor following the record scorer’s retirement .
