Barcelona and Bayern Munich both won on Tuesday, but both Champions League Quarterfinal matches are far from decided. Here are the final results, what to know and Wednesday's schedule.

Things to know
1. Slight advantage to Barcelona
Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 after trailing 1-0. It was a memorable match, where Fernando Torres scored then got a red card, Lionel Messi almost scored a crazy goal and Luis Suarez was the hero with his brace. It's a win for Barcelona, but it almost feels like a draw. Barca has a slim advantage on goals and allowed an away goal. Atletico may be better off with overrated Torres suspended for the next match, and a 1-0 win at home would be enough to advance. This one is far from decided. Barcelona is the favorite, but Atletico's amazing defense combined with a goal or two could see Barca's European dream end in a week's time.

2. Benfica still alive
Bayern Munich has the advantage going into the second leg with the 1-0 victory thanks to Arturo Vidal, but considering Bayern put four past Juventus in Germany, that's not a terrible result for the Portuguese. Bayern is the heavy favorite to advance, but Benfica couldn't ask for much more than life ahead of the second leg. Benfica has lost just once at home in 2016.
That was all too easy for Bayern Munich. #UCLonFOX https://t.co/eAQbvCb25a
