Sadio Mane scored twice to steer Liverpool into the Champions League quarter-finals after a superb 3-1 win at Bayern Munich dumped out the German giants.

Having missed the goalless first leg at Anfield three weeks ago through suspension, Virgil van Dijk's long pass led to Mane's excellent first-half goal at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.

"His first goal was ridiculous, the calmness with how he's finished it off," Liverpool midfielder James Milner told BT Sport.

"He's on fire at the minute and let's hope it continues for the rest of the season."
"We have good feelings from last year, so hopefully we can carry that on and go as far as we can."
"We didn't play well enough to create enough clear chances at this level."
