Paris St Germain, Real Madrid, Benfica, and Wolfsburg made it through to the quarter-finals on a night that saw certain sections of the Bernabeu turn on Cristiano Ronaldo following comments he made about the abilities of some of the Madrid fringe players.
On the weekend Chelsea boss, Guus Hiddink was lauded after setting a new Premier League record by getting through his first 12 games without defeat. There’s only one problem. Roman Abramovich only cared about two games since the Dutchman took over from the Special One. He has now lost them both.

Leading by two goals to one from the first leg, PSG grabbed the second leg by the scruff straight from the kickoff.
