Full time: Paris Saint Germain 3-1 Chelsea
Full time: Real Madrid 3-0 Borussia Dortmund
21:40: So full time in both Madrid and Paris. Real Madrid have one food in the quarter final after putting three past Borussia Dortmund at the Bernabeu. Gareth Bale, Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo did the damage.
Meanwhile, Chelsea take an away goal if not much else into the second leg of their tie against Paris Saint Germain after being downed by two Ezequiel Lavezzi goals and Javier Pastore's late effort which came after Eden Hazard's penalty has levelled the scores. That Pastore goal could prove to be so crucial.
Well that's all we've got time for on this Champions League live text. We'll be back with live coverage of the first T20 World Cup semi-final between Sri Lanka and holders West Indies tomorrow, but until then goodbye.
Full time: Real Madrid 3-0 Borussia Dortmund
Full time: Paris Saint Germain 3-1 Chelsea
21:35: That could be the killer goal. Javier Pastore comes off the right touchline, ghosts past Azpilicueta and Lampard and with his left foot squeezes the ball in at the near post past Cech. Huge goal in the context of the tie and PSG have thrilled.
Goal: Paris Saint Germain 3-1 Chelsea (Javier Pastore)
21:33: Four added minutes in both Paris and Madrid.
21:26: What a chance for PSG to make it three. Cavani gets the ball in the left hand channel just outside the box and as Maxwell gallops down the left attracting Chelsea defenders he cuts inside and curls goalwards but wide of Cech's goal. Big let off for the Blues.
21:24: Corner for Chelsea. Wipped in by substitute Frank Lampard, making his 100th Champions League appearance, but after Ivanovic fouls Alex, PSG survive.
21:21: It's very much stick or twist for PSG. They have complete control of the game but do they want to commit players forward to grab a potentially tie-winning third goal. Chelsea will probably take 2-1 also but a second goal would put them in the driving seat going into the second leg.
21:16: Lucas Moura causing all sorts of problems for Chelsea, slaloming past David Luiz and Branislav Ivanovic before finding Edinson Cavani who can't reign the ball in.
21:13: At the Bernabeu, Dortmund are playing like they know the tie is over and are throwing players forward at every opportunity in the hope of taking an away goal to Germany. Pepe among the Real defender having to be aware of the threat.
21:10: Ibrahimovic off Lucas Moura on for PSG as we reach the mid-way point in the second half.
21:09: Two half-chances for Chelsea to level for a second time. Hazard gets free and Chelsea have three on two but he is unable to finds Fernando Torres. Willian is now free of Maxwell but again the final ball lets Chelsea down.
21:05: Chelsea contribute to their won downfall and go behind for a second time. David Luiz concedes a foul on the left after a foul on Matuidi. The resulting free-kick from Lacezzi beats everyone in the box and with the goal going in David Luiz diverts the ball past Cech. Should go down as a second for the Argentine.
Goal: Paris Saint Germain 2-1 Chelsea (Ezequiel Lavezzi)
21:01: Tie over now in Madrid. Luka Modric marauds through and finds Cristiano Ronaldo who rounds Weidenfeller and puts into an empty net. Fernando Torres on for Andre Schurrle in Paris meanwhile.
Goal: Real Madrid 3-0 Borussia Dortmund (Cristiano Ronaldo)
20:58: Karim Benzema should have Real Madrid three up. Cross from the right finds the Frenchman all alone with the goal at his mercy but only a late block from the Dortmund defender deflects the ball over the bar. Weidenfeller breathes a sigh of relief.
20:54: Lavezzi continues to be the scouge of Chelsea and he almost grabs a second. Maxwell crosses from the left as Chelsea back off and Lavezzi heads just over. PSG have started the half the better.
20:49: Ramires concedes another foul and again escapes a second booking. Jose Mouirnho must be considering a change in that area. John Obi Mikel among the substitutes.
20:47: Under way in the second half in both Paris and Madrid.
20:45: Sadly, I have to report accounts of Chelsea fans chanting illicit songs during the first half in Paris. That follows reports of being invovled in Nazi salutes, attacking rivals PSG fans and singing songs regarding the English Defence League. Very sad.
20:33: While Real Madrid are blowing away Borussia Dortmundn and acting revenge for their semi-final exit last season through Gareth Bale and Isco's goals, Chelsea have the upper hand in Paris. Ezequeil Lavezzi's fourth minute opener had PSG ahead but Eden Hazard's penalty has the visitors level and on top.
Half time: Real Madrid 2-0 Borussia Dortmund
Half time: Paris Saint Germain 1-1 Chelsea
20:30: PSG want a penalty late in this first half. Ibrahimovic wins a header and directs the ball across goal and Cahill and Cavani come together but the referee wants none of it. Good decision.
20:27: Eden Hazard rattles the post for Chelsea. Cross from the right looks innocuous but the Belgian swings a left foot across goal and it hits Sirigu's left-hand up post and away to saftey. Almost another crucial away goal.
20:20: Chelsea on top in Paris but the home side are the next to threaten. Jallet's cross finds Lavezzi who turns and shoots in the same motion but Cech is equal to it.
20:17: Real could run riot here against Dortmund, who have offered nothing as an attacking threat. Weidenfeller to the rescue again as Bale takes aim from a 25-yard free-kick.
20:15: Two goals within second of each other again in Paris and Madrid. Real double their lead as Isco shoots from range and past Weidenfeller. But at the Parc de Princes, Chelsea have a crucial away goal. Ramires cuts the ball back and Oscar touches before the incoming tackle from Thiago Silva and the Brazilian wipes out his fellow countryman and a penalty is awarded. Eden Hazard steps up and cooly send Sirigu the wrong way.
Goal: Paris Saint Germain 1-1 Chelsea (Eden Hazard)

Penalty to Chelsea
20:06: Sirigu tested for the first time in the PSG goal. David Luiz, playing in a midfield role tonight, strides forwards and shoot left-footed but the Italian international makes a easy save. Yellow card for Alex for a clear foul on Ramires. Chelsea coming more into the game.
20:01: Chelsea's midfield problems are accentuated by a booking for Ramires who is now out of the second leg between these two sides at Stamford Bridge. The Brazilian stopped a PSG counter-attack in its infancy with a crunching challenge on Lavezzi. A good yellow card.
19:58: The Ballon d'Or winner for 2013 Cristiano Ronaldo is intent on marking a century of Champions League appearances with a goal and again he is denied by Weidenfeller as his swerving free-kick is tipped over.
19:56: Real seeking to put this tie out of sight in the early minutes at the Bernabeu. Bale has the ball in the net for a second time but is flagged offside before Ronaldo's first real involvement sees his effort beaten away by Weidenfeller.
19:52: Barely four minutes gone in both Paris and Madrid and both homes sides are already level. First Real hit the front as Benzema feeds the onrushing Carvajal whose cross finds Bale who toe-pokes the ball yeond the onrushing Weidenfeller. In the French capital, Chelsea make the worst possible start as John terry heads clear on as far as Lavezzi 15 yards out and the Argentine thunders a half-volley into the roof of Cech's net.
Goal: Paris Saint Germain 1-0 Chelsea (Ezequiel Lavezzi)

19:46: Under way in both Paris and Madrid.
19:43: Teams are out at the Parc de Princes and the Bernabeu. After last night's two tight ties, we can expect another thrilling evening of football in the Champions League, which has really got going in the last eight stage.
19:35: As Sky Sports are currently highlighting, aside from Ibrahimovic Chelsea need no reminding as to PSG's other attacking threats in both Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi. Both players scored in Napoli's first leg win over Chelsea in the Champions League in 2012 and Mouirnho has his work cut out to calm the trio's threat.
19:30: The Only One v the Special One tonight.
19:20: So Jose Mourinho opts to leave out both Fernando Torres and Demba Ba and starts with Eden Hazard and Andre Schurrle in rotation in attack. PSG have so such attacking dillemas with Edinson Cavani, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic leading the line.
Gareth Bale and Cristiaon Ronaldo, making his 100th Champions League appearance, are both included in the Real Madrid team tonight. Fabio Coentrao comes in at full back.

These two unique personalities have the capacity to light up this tie, the closest of all the last eight matches.
