LIVERPOOL are back as one of football’s powerhouse­s after they dispatched Bayern Munich to reach the Champions League quarter-finals along with Barcelona.

Sadio Mane struck twice as the Reds beat German champions Bayern 3-1 in Munich while two goals from Lionel Messi helped Barcelona romp past Lyon 5-1 at the Nou Camp.

Both round of 16 first legs ended goalless but Liverpool and Barcelona earned their passage to the last eight with comfortabl­e victories.
