Wednesday's Round of 16 action featured a tragically 'classic' Spurs performance, as Tottenham crashed out after losing 2-1 to Juventus at Wembley. 

The other match of the night saw Manchester City suffer their first home loss in 15 months, a 2-1 defeat to Basel, although a healthy 5-2 aggregate sees them through. 

Twitter (and Arsenal supporters) had plenty to say, with some of the best below... 

Kieran Trippier goes down like he's shot. Replay shows no contact.

These Spurs lads love a dive.

Juve's veteran approach kept the back-four in line...

Chiellini and Barzagli in that Juve defence. Like when you're low on numbers for five-a-side, so a few lads bring their dads.

Moussa continued his form of midfield dominance...

I doubt Moussa Dembele has ever lost a set of keys let alone a football.

Waiting for the draw like...

Juventus and Manchester City have joined fellow giants Real Madrid and Liverpool in the quarter-finals, and await next week's matches to see their opponents. Bayern seem to be comfortably through, already leading 5-0, although Chelsea, Barcelona, and the rest have everything to play for. 

Until next week...
