Porto are through to the Champions League quarterfinals in spectacular fashion after knocking two-time winners Juventus out of the competition.

The Portuguese side – who played with 10 men for almost an hour -  lost this morning’s last-16 second leg 3-2… but advanced on away goals with the aggregate level at 4-4.

Sergio Oliveira netted the crucial free kick for Porto deep into extra-time to send them through to the last-eight.

This is the second successive season that Juventus have been knocked out in the last-16 on away goals.

Joachim Low will step down as coach of the German national team after this year’s Euros.

The 61-year-old has been in charge since 2006 and is currently the longest serving national team coach in the game.

Low led Germany to the 2014 World Cup title…but the team has been struggling to perform in recent years.

Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp has been named as a potential replacement, although the Liverpool manager has made it clear he is not available, and is committed to seeing out his Reds contract.
