Manchester United was never tested on Wednesday, a 4-0 win giving them a 7-2 aggregate in over AC Milan. The day’s other home side, Real Madrid, gave up a late goal to Miralem Pjanic, giving Lyon a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu, eliminating the new Galacticos from Champions League, the sixth straight year the club has exited the competition in the Round of 16.

| Two titans of European football are through to the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Arsenal demolished FC Porto on Tuesday, getting a Nicklas Bendtner hat-trick in the club’s 5-0 win, putting the Gunners through on a 6-2 aggregate. Bayern Munich’s advancement was not as easy, need the away-goals tiebreaker and an Arjen Robben wonder strike to move past Fiorentina on a 4-4 aggregate, losing 3-2 in Florence on Tuesday. | CONCACAF Champions League is finally back, with a brave Columbus Crew getting a brace from Steven Lenhart in coming back from a two goal deficit, drawing Toluca 2-2 at home on Tuesday. Columbus was without Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Chad Marshall and Frankie Hejduk but will still take an even scoreline to México next week. |
