Real and Atletico couldn’t be separated, Juventus trumped Monaco, PSG were outplayed by Barcelona and Porto stunned Bayern.
All in all, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals didn’t disappoint.
Here’s how Twitter reacted.
Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid
Real came away with a goalless draw, but most of the discussion after the game revolved around Dani Carvajal possibly biting Atletico striker Mario Mandzukic.
Mandzukic took to Twitter to clear Carvajal of wrong-doing.
He said: “Yesterday’s match was very hard and both teams gave everything, but for me there was no controversy, no bite, or anything.”
Buenos días! El partido de ayer fue muy duro y los dos equipos lo dimos todo, pero para mí no hubo ninguna polémica, ni mordisco, ni nada.

Juventus v Monaco
Juventus picked up a 1-0 win over the men from the principality with a controversial penalty. There were a few that weren’t convinced the foul was inside the box.
It wasn’t penalty for Juventus: outside the box, this is the moment when Morata is kicked pic.twitter.com/0jmNfONtYp — Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) April 14, 2015
PSG v Barcelona
Luis Suarez absolutely tormented David Luiz and the PSG defence during Barcelona’s 3-1 win and everyone on Twitter was impressed.
Well, almost everyone.
Over 80 million quid of CB’s in the 2nd half couldn’t stop Suarez. Martin Kelly & myself did 2 weeks ago & I’m a free while he’s worth 3 mil

Porto v Bayern
The result of the week was Porto’s 3-1 win over Bayern. Many couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
Oh Quaresma, keep this up for the next 75 minutes and we may just forgive all those years of waste. Winger elicits yellow for Bernat.
