Liverpool Beat Galatasaray 4-0 to Reach UCL Quarters

Liverpool defeated Galatasaray 4-0 in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie at Anfield on Wednesday night, securing a 4-1 aggregate victory and advancing to the quarterfinals, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain. The match was overshadowed in its closing stages by a serious injury to Galatasaray winger Noa Lang, who was stretchered off after his hand became caught in an advertising board.

The game began with tension as Liverpool sought to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in Istanbul.

The second half saw the Reds dominate, with Hugo Ekitike scoring in the 51st minute, followed by Ryan Gravenberch two minutes later. Mohamed Salah sealed the win with a late strike, completing a commanding performance from Arne Slot's team.

Lang, a 26-year-old Dutch international on loan from Napoli to Galatasaray, entered as a halftime substitute. With about 10 minutes of normal time remaining, he collided heavily with the pitch-side advertising hoardings behind the goal....
