Barcelona vs FC Copenhagen Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Lionel Messi struck two goals in each half as Barcelona climbed to the top of Group D after squeezing past erstwhile leaders FC Copenhagen at the Nou Camp. Messi broke the deadlock with a thunderous effort in the 19th minute to cap a fine opening from Barca, but the hosts struggled to finish off their in-form opponents and survived a number of second-half scares before the Argentinian ace tapped home from close range in stoppage time to secure the vital points. The victory lifts Barca onto seven points, one above Copenhagen and five clear of third-placed Rubin Kazan.

Rangers vs Valencia Highlights: Champions League

Maurice Edu had the dubious honour of being the lone scorer for both clubs as Rangers were held to a draw by Valencia in the Champions League. The Ibrox side would probably have settled for a point ahead of this meeting with the Spanish League high-fliers before the United States international handed them a first half lead. But a dream night turned into a nightmare for Edu when he inadvertently headed into his own net just a minute into the second half to allow the visitors to return to Spain with a share of the points, before both teams meet again early next month.
