LIVERPOOL, England, March 18 (Reuters) - Liverpool put their indifferent form behind them and marched into the Champions League quarter-finals as they dismantled Galatasaray 4-0 at Anfield on Wednesday, for a 4-1 aggregate win.
Galatasaray had beaten the Premier League champions twice at home this season, including last week's 1-0 first-leg win, but were no match for a Liverpool side which played with a determination and energy rarely seen this season.
"I think we did a great job tonight. We could win 10-0, we missed a few chances, but we did still a good job," Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike told TNT Sports.
"We can be proud of ourselves tonight and we can look forward to the quarter-final."
Dominik Szoboszlai put Liverpool in front in the 25th minute and they could have been ahead on aggregate before the break but Mohamed Salah had a penalty saved. The hosts ran riot after the break, with goals from Ekitike, Ryan Gravenberch and Salah.
Liverpool will play holders Paris St Germain, who easily saw off Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate, in the quarter-finals.
Liverpool looked comfortable from the off and went in front from a well-worked set-piece.
