The Catalan club advanced 4-1 on aggregate score after last week’s 1-0 victory — with a goal by Raphinha. Barcelona will play either Borussia Dortmund or Lille in the quarterfinals.

Raphinha’s double makes him the leading scorer in the Champions League this season with 11 goals.

The Brazil forward put Barcelona ahead in the 10th, then assisted in Yamal’s 27th-minute goal before adding his second in the 42nd.

In other matches Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain travels to Liverpool trailing 1-0 from the first leg. Inter Milan hosts Feyenoord on the back of a 2-0 away win in the first leg, and Bayern Munich travels to Bayer Leverkusen after comprehensively beating its Bundesliga rival 3-0.
