Axar.az presents you the highlights of yesterday night's Champions League games:

Barcelona 3-0 Manchester United

Barcelona eased into the Champions League semi-final with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Manchester United at the Camp Nou on Tuesday.

The first half was full of excitement, and even the Video Assistant Referee got in on the fun by overruling a penalty for Barcelona early on. However, Lionel Messi opened the scoring shortly after with a powerful drive from outside the box.

Just minutes later, he tried a similar effort which looked to be easy for David de Gea, but the Spaniard somehow allowed the ball to squeeze through him and into the net to give Barcelona a 2-0 lead at the break.

If the tie wasn't already over, it was after the hour mark as Philippe Coutinho netted a stunning effort from range, before celebrating by covering his ears to silence the critics. United fought valiantly, and a late Alexis Sanchez header looked to have given United a consolation goal, only for Marc-Andre ter Stegen to pull of a sublime save to preserve the side's clean sheet and see Barcelona through to the semi-final.

Juventus 1-2 Ajax

Ajax's incredible Champions League shows no sign of stopping after they recorded a famous 2-1 win against Juventus in Turin to reach the semi-finals 3-2 on aggregate.

After an uneventful start to the game, Cristiano Ronaldo broke the deadlock on 28 minutes with a routine header from Miralem Pjanic's corner. VAR was consulted for a push on Joel Veltman in the build-up, but the goal survived the check, and Ronaldo's 126th strike in the competition stood.

Ajax, however, went into half-time level, both on the night and on aggregate, thanks to Donny van de Beek, who produced a composed touch and finish following Hakim Ziyech's wild shot, while his effort also survived a VAR review for an alleged handball.

After dominating the play following the interval, Ajax netted a crucial second goal of the game on 67 minutes as Matthijs de Ligt rose highest to emphatically nod home Lasse Schone's corner.

It proved to be the match-winner for the Dutch side, as Ajax held on in the final stages to secure a famous quarter-final win.
