It was not the plain fact that Real Madrid lost to Olympique Lyonnais which really made the headlines. Most especially, it was the fact that even after spending an unbelievable amount of money in the 2009 summer transfer window, Los Blancos still weren’t able to break their Round of 16 curse in the Champions League.
Subsequent to their draw away to Lyon in the first leg, Madrid had to get the needed result at the Bernabeu Stadium in the return leg. Cristiano Ronaldo gave Los Blancos the lead in the first half, but a disappointing Gonzalo Higuain failed to take his chances to place Real Madrid even further in front afterward.

A wicked deflection from Rooney himself and a very late decider from Olic however changed what many would have initially looked upon as the match’s “deserved result”.
Champions League: Bayern Finish Manchester United
The first leg might have not been too pretty in the eyes of Manchester United followers, but the beginning of the second leg went pretty much in their favor. An early 3-0 score line at the Old Trafford owing to Nani’s superb influence almost killed the visitors.
Bayern Munich nevertheless fought back with everything they had; and in the long run, they got the final laugh by means of 2 goals from Olic and Robben.
Champions League: United Humiliate Milan
The first leg of the AC Milan-Manchester United game was already not positive for the Italians, but the return leg proved to be even more terrible. Rooney again led the Red Devils to victory, helping his side to score 4 goals against their visitors at the Old Trafford.
Milan were clearly humiliated...
