Liverpool have beaten Galatasaray 4-0 in their huge Champions League round of 16 second leg at Anfield thanks to goals from Dominik Szoboszlai, Hugo Ekitike, Ryan Gravenberch and Mohamed Salah.
Szoboszlai's superbly taken 25th-minute strike opening the scoring before Florian Wirtz and Alexis Mac Allister both went desperately close to putting the Reds in front on aggregate.
But the biggest chance to do that in the first half came just before the break when Salah saw a poor penalty easily saved after the superb Szoboszlai was brought down in the box.
But Liverpool did not have to wait long to get the second goal their dominance deserved, with Ekitike with finishing off a fine Salah cross in the 51st minute.
And two minutes later Gravenberch rifled home to make it 3-0 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate before Salah scored his 50th goal in the Champions League with a simply stunning strike.
The Reds' reward is a quarter-final showdown with Paris Saint-Germain.
Thanks very much for joining us on tonight's live blog.
Well, that was much more like it, wasn't it?
Now the challenge is for Liverpool to play as close as they can to that in Saturday's Premier League match at Brighton & Hov Albion.
Do that and we can all have a nice international break.
Take care of yourselves.
For a club whose European exploits are woven into its fabric, it's been far too long since Anfield enjoyed a Champions League night like this. It's been nearly four years, in fact, since Liverpool last won a Champions League knockout game at home and those 'famous nights' the regulars here boast about have been quietly in danger of becoming consigned to history as a result.
And while this comfortable 4-0 victory over an obstinate but ordinary Galatasaray won't stand the test of time like some of the genuinely extraordinary nights over the years, there was enough stardust sprinkled around to remind those who might have needed it of what can be produced at this ground on these sorts of occasions.
At the third time of asking this season, the Reds beat the Turkish Super Lig champions who wilted under the Merseyside lights, specifically in the second half when the English Premier League champions' dominance was finally reflected on the scoreboard.
This place can still be decisive and the fact that Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ibrahima Konate were all seen asking supporters to turn up the volume levels further at various times throughout suggested the players know that too.

Mohamed Salah stood arms outstretched in front of the jubilant Kop, lapping up the adulation of the Anfield crowd before vigorously grabbing the badge on his Liverpool shirt in defiant delight.
For those who have had to endure this at times tortuous campaign for both the Egyptian and his team, it was almost as though the last seven months hadn’t happened.
Instead, this was an evening when Arne Slot’s side sent a reminder to Europe and, perhaps most importantly, themselves regards what they are still capable of in the Champions League.
Read Ian Doyle's on-the-whistle analysis in full HERE.
Watched from a distance before the break until saving weak Sallai header and had even less to do in the second half.
Regularly offered himself as an attacking outlet early on and stuck to defensive task up against Yilmaz. Subbed.
Not always the right choice when clearing into midfield first half but helped by Osimhen being hampered by an arm injury and impressive as game progressed.
Spent most of the opening period playing in midfield and header created chance for Mac Allister. Dominated the weak Galatasaray attack.
Roused the crowd early on with some strong challenges and set the tone with an impressive, all-action showing. Very good and still running in last minute.

Liverpool will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals next month after they completed a comeback against Galatasaray.
The Reds beat the Turkish side 4-0 at Anfield on Wednesday evening to go through 4-1 on aggregate having lost the first game 1-0 in Istanbul last week.
The clash with PSG is a rerun of the round of 16 tie last season, which the French side won on penalties after a 1-1 draw on aggregate on their way to lifting the trophy for the first time.
While the dates for the game are to be confirmed, it is likely the first leg will be on Wednesday, April 8 and Tuesday, April 14.
The Reds into the quarter-finals, where they will meet Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain.
Dominik Szoboszlai fires wide. This could have been any score.
Not much longer for Galatasaray to endure.
Alexis Mac Allister has the ball in the net but remarkably the goal is ruled out for what is deemed a foul by Virgil van Dijk.
Chiesa, Ngumoha and Nyoni all on.
Ekitike, Gravenberch and Wirtz make way.
Hugo Ekitike slices a shot wide after ice inter-play around the edge of the Galatasaray box.
The ball hits the Liverpool sub and goes straight into the Galatasaray goalkeeper's hands. To be fair to the Dutchman, wasn't much he could do.
Applause from the Liverpool fans as Noa Lang is stretchered off. It doesn't look clever.
Mauro Icardi comes on for half-time sub Noa Lang, who has hurt himself after crashing into the boards behind the goal. Hopefully he's okay.
Mohamed Salah makes way for Cody Gakpo. He did signal to come off. Hopefully just a precaution.
Mohamed Salah hits the bar before Alexis Mac Allister sees a shot saved with Hugo Ekitike heading over the rebound.
Could so easily be 5-0.
Frimpong makes way for Curtis Jones.
That's sublime, dare it be said, vintage Mohamed Salah.
He's exchanged passes with Florian Wirtz before finally beating Cakir with a world-class curling effort.
Liverpool 4-0 Galatasaray.
A rematch with PSG it is then.
One from the muscle memory there.
That is indeed offside. Still 3-0.
Lovely ball inside from Wirtz, Frimpong's low cross is turned in by Singo.
Frimpong might be offside.
Wirtz plays a nice ball in for Frimpong and Singo puts into his own net.
But Frimpong was offside.
Cakir saves from Salah once more but Gravenberch follows it up and makes it 3-0. Almost bobbled in.
Lovely ball across the face from Salah and Ekitike has his 17th of the season. Liverpool 2-0 Galatasaray.
Goalkeeper Cakir has fast become Salah's nemesis tonight. He's just been out quickly to deny the forward for what feels like a fourth or fifth time tonight. Liverpool still on top in the early exchanges of this second half.
Osimhen and Boey off.
Lang and Sane are on.
Second half now underway.
Liverpool kicking to the Kop End.

Saw a lot of the ball before the break and looked to break through the Galatasaray defensive lines.
Alexis Mac Allister 7
Clever corner delivery for opener and hit the bar from close range with header. Far more lively than of late.
More like the Salah of old before break, constantly on the move and thwarted by two decent Cakir saves. Penalty miss could be costly, though.
Much more effective back in midfield, snapping into tackles, driving forward, scoring the first well and winning the penalty.
Denied by deflection with one close-range effort and, while ostensibly on left, worked hard to find spaces in which to perform.
Very mixed bag first half with some clever touches allied with a strange reluctance to run in behind at times.
