Here's what to know and see from the day's action:

Scoreboard

  • Arsenal 1, PSG 2: PSG entered the match as slight favorites due to their ability to train and get games in ahead of this quarterfinal. The match was even early, but quickly fell in favor of the French side as Marie-Antoinette Katoto scored first. Arsenal was able to equalize thanks to Beth Mead, but Katoto would assist on the game winner as a freshly subbed Singe Brunn scored in the 77th minute. 
  • Lyon 2, Bayern 1: Recently crowned domestic league champions, Lyon entered the match as favorites due to their recent form and massively stacked roster, scoring two goals thanks to Nikita Parris and Amelies Majiri. Bayern would keep the French side honest, able to contest and compete on the day, but their efforts would prove too short as Lyon's substitute's kept up the energy to close out the game.

Notable performances

Let's rate some of the notable performances on the day, with one being the worst and 10 being perfection:

Marie-Antoinette Katoto, PSG: The PSG striker continues to show why she should be ranked among the top scorers in the world, by opening up the scoring for her team in the quarterfinal and assisting on the game winner. Caused problems for the backline all day. RATING: 10

Kim Little, Arsenal: The Scottish international's return to Champions League play after rehabbing back from a foot injury. Saturday was always a tall task for the Gunners, but Little's play on the ball kept Arsenal competitive, including her assist on the equalizer in the 39th minute. RATING: 7.5

Dzsenifer Marozsan, Lyon: The German midfielder was strong on the pitch Saturday for her club. Often outworking opposition, and both disrupting the opposition and generating opportunities for her teammates. RATING: 8.5
