Real Madrid vs AC Milan Highlights: UEFA Champions League Highlights

Alexandre Pato saved the blushes of fellow Brazilian Dida with a brace as AC Milan stunned Real Madrid at the Bernabeu to get their Champions League prospects back on track and inflict only a second competitive defeat of the season on their big-spending hosts.

For a while it looked as though Dida`s dreadful first-half error, which allowed Raul to give Madrid a half-time lead, would cost Milan dear but Pato popped up in the 88th minute to volley home the winner and help the Italians bounce back from defeat to FC Zurich in their previous Group C match. That was Pato`s second goal of the game, as he had also put the hosts ahead in the 66th minute after Andrea Pirlo’s equaliser just minutes before.

Royston Drenthe was the other goalscorer, making it 2-2 in the 76th minute, but his effort could not save Madrid in the battle between the two most successful sides in European Cup history. The results means seven-time European champions Milan join Madrid, who have won the competition a record nine times, on six points at the midway point of the group C.

Bordeaux vs Bayern Munich Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Michael Ciani scored for both sides and Bordeaux missed two penalties as the French champions leapfrogged Bayern Munich to move to head the Group A as the visitors finished the game with nine men.

Ciani first put Bayern ahead with an own goal in the sixth minute before making amends with a fine equalizer in the 29th minute. Bayern were reduced to 10 men when they lost Thomas Muller on the half-hour mark and Marc Planus then scored the winner for the hosts in the 41st minute.

Bordeaux could even afford to miss two penalties with Hans-Jorg Butt making fine saves against both Yoann Gourcuff and Jussie while the visitors ended the game with only nine men as Daniel van Buyten was sent off for committing the foul which led to the second penalty in the 88th minute.

VfL Wolfsburg vs Besiktas Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Edin Dzeko was the main culprit as Wolfsburg missed a bundle of fine chances to draw their Champions League Group B match with Besiktas. Dzeko, who has been in red-hot form in recent weeks, had at least three glorious opportunities to break the deadlock as the Turks somehow held on for a point. Grafite was shown a 74th-minute red card for violent conduct, a decision which dulled the German side’s threat even more and ensured stalemate..
