Dynamo Kiev vs Barcelona Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Lionel Messi’s brilliant late free-kick helped Barcelona recover from a nightmare start to defeat Dynamo Kiev and seal the top spot in Group F, while the Ukrainian side bid goodbye to European competition for the season.

With Inter Milan on their way to a 2-0 win over Rubin Kazan in the other group match, a draw would have been enough for Barca to finish top courtesy of their better head-to-head record against the Italians, but the defending European champions took all three points thanks to Messi’s 86th-minute goal.

It was a heartbreaking strike for Dynamo, as a draw would have seen them pip Rubin to third spot and a place in the Europa League.

Highlights:

Dynamo Kiev 1-2 Barcelona

Dynamo Kiev 1-1 Barcelona

Dynamo Kiev 1-0 Barcelona

Marseille vs Real Madrid Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his fifth and sixth Champions League goals for Real Madrid as he inspired the Spanish side to a victory that sent them into the last 16 as Group C winners.
Resuts elsewhere meant Madrid were never likely to miss out on the last 16 of the competition but a Ronaldo brace ensured they would enter the knockout phase in style.

He scored either side of Raul Albiol’s 60th-minute effort for the visitors, with Lucho Gonzalez scoring for Marseille, but later missing a penalty that would have made it 2-2 for the home side.

Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Chelsea put themselves on the brink of qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League with a comfortable victory over Spanish side Atletico Madrid. A goal in each half from Ivory Coast international Salomon Kalou, a fine drive from Frank Lampard and an own goal from Luis Perea helped Chelsea maintain their undefeated run in Europe.

They now have nine points from three games and they are yet to concede a goal in Europe this season. The defensive frailties which have caused their last two away defeats in the Barclays Premier League were not evident against Atletico.

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.
