Champions League

Today, Premier league teams Manchester United and Arsenal each had their own respective games that would be important for continuation. Manchester United played Aalborg in which the game was not taken over by either side. It finished 2-2 with goals from Tevez and Rooney. Although ending in a tie, Manchester United still will finish in their group at the top. Arsenal played a very determined FC Porto side in Portugal where they were handed a 2-0 defeat. Porto clearly capitalized on their chances and stayed at the top of Group G. This now gives FC Porto plenty of cushion as it seems impossible for them to drop down.
Make sure to watch for the round of 16 drawings next Friday.

Other scores in the UCL today:
Celtic 2 - 0 Villarreal
Steaua Bucuresti 0 - 1 Fiorentna
Lyon 2 - 3 Bayern Munich
Dynamo Kiev 1 - 0 Fenerbache
Juventus 0 - 0 BATE Borisov
Real Madrid 3 - 0 Zenit St. Petersburg
