AC Milan vs Manchester United Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Two second-half strikes from in-form Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney installed last season’s runners up as favorites to book a place in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Not even the consolation of a third-minute opener for AC Milan, created by David Beckham for Ronaldinho, could derail Sir Alex Ferguson’s troops, although they were forced to endure some nervy moments at the end after Clarence Seedorf hauled Milan back into the tie five minutes from time with an audacious flicked finish.

It took a fortunate Paul Scholes effort to bring United level before the break. But after surviving another spell of Milan pressure after half-time, Rooney stamped his authority on the contest, scoring his first two European goals of the season to take his overall tally to 25.

Inter Milan vs Rubin Kazan Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Samuel Eto’o fired Inter Milan to a 2-0 win over Rubin Kazan that puts them in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Eto’o ended his goalscoring drought in the competition this season when he scored in the 31st minute to give the Italians the lead.

Mario Balotelli’s powerful free-kick made it 2-0 shortly after the hour mark. Rubin never gave up and were unfortunate not to come back into the game in a dominant display in second half, but just could not find their way to goal and have to settle for a place in the Europa League as consolation.

Inter finished second in Group F, two points behind leaders Barcelona, who won 2-1 at Dynamo Kiev.

Standard Liege vs AZ Alkmaar Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Standard Liege goalkeeper Sinan Bolat headed an equaliser five minutes into injury-time as they snatched a place in the Europa League from opponents AZ Alkmaar in the dying seconds of their Group H Champions League clash.

With the referee moments from blowing his whistle, Hector Moreno fouled Marcos Camozzato to hand the Belgian side a free-kick, which Bolat headed home in a dramatic finish to this contest..

When Bolat went up for the set-piece, Standard were trailing and would have finished bottom of the standings, with the Eredivisie side lining up in Europe’s second competition instead. But the goal changed the whole equation.

Lyon vs Debrecen Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Michel Bastos, Bafetimbi Gomis, substitute Miralem Pjanic and Aly Cissokho were on target at the Stade Gerland as Claude Puel’s side ensured the Hungarian team finished the campaign without a point to their credit.
