From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

Follow live updates as Roma take a slender 2-1 lead to the Estadio Dragao, where they face Porto in the Champions League last-16 second leg.

The first leg at the Stadio Olimpico was a tense affair, until the game burst into life in the last 20 minutes when Italian teenager Nicolo Zaniolo scored a brace before Adrian Lopez pulled one back for Porto.

Both sides suffered weekend defeats domestically and could do with the boost of booking their place in the Champions League quarter-finals. Follow it live:

Lukaku: "It was good. We were confident before the game. As a pair me and Marcus knew we could do the business. We both score so we are happy. We agreed when he steps up I have to follow him. It starts at the training ground, the competitive starts there, when we come back in games it's natural for us."

Rashford on his penalty: "Just keep a cool head. The wait before was part of their game and that's what you live for. Everything seems to be against us but we are used to surviving and today proved that. We keep pushing and bettering ourselves."

What a way to start

By the way, that's four years running that PSG have gone out of the Champions League in the round of 16.

Porto 2-1 Roma (3-3)

We have some VAR drama in the other game. It appears Florenzi pulls back Fernando's shirt as a low cross comes his way....and it's given!

Telles scores!!!!

Telles steps up with confidence and slams the ball in! The Estadio do Dragao reacts with bedlam as Porto take a huge step into the Champions League quarter-final. Roma have two minutes to respond.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the result: "The belief in the boys is what we hoped for It was a great start we set a can to get the first goal and we didn't expect to get it after two minutes."

On doubts over the penalty being scored: "Of course, there's always doubts. With Molde we got a penalty in the last minutes, we missed and went out. Normally Paul takes the penalties. Rashofrd is 21 and has the presure but there's no nerves."

On United's inspiration: "Champions League that's what it does. Real Madrid vs Ajax, that was our team talk. We always know it's possible. With this club, that's what we do."

On doubt before the game: "There is always some mental doubt, they've (PSG) had those experiences and we've had some the other way."

On the VAR decision: "I tried to calm everyone down and sit them down. My staff said he made himself big."

On talking to Sir Alex after the game: "It's too noisy and it's great to see the boss."

On getting the job now: "No, no, no. Until the summer. Let's see what happens."

Porto 3-1 Roma AET (4-3)

Porto are through to the Champions League quarter-final

The Champions League, eh?

What a night of incredible drama as PSG and Roma join Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid in being dumped out of the Champions League.

Manchester United have done the unthinkable to overturn a 2-0 first leg deficit and beat the French Champions 3-1 at the Parc des Princes.

Can anyone stop them?
