Manchester City were able secure a huge advantage of qualifying for the Champions League quarter-finals as they came from behind to beat Real Madrid 2-1 away from home on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Lyon shocked Italian giant, Juventus as they produced a spirited display to take a surprise lead with a 1-0 win.
Real Madrid vs Man City
After a goalless first half, Madrid capitalised on a defensive mix-up between Rodri and Nicolas Otamendi to take the lead as the impressive Vinicius Junior raced towards goal before neatly squaring for Isco to slot home.
But Gabriel Jesus and Kevin de Bruyne scored late goals as Manchester City fought back from a goal down to beat Real Madrid.
Sergio Ramos shot over as Real Madrid looked to double their advantage but City equalised 12 minutes before time when Jesus nodded in from close range.
According to BBC, it was the least City deserved for what had been an impressive away performance by Pep Guardiola’s side and things got even better seven minutes from time when substitute Raheem Sterling was brought down inside the box and De Bruyne stepped home to confidently convert from the spot.
It got even worse for Real Madrid when they were reduced to 10 men with five minutes remaining. Sergio Ramos brought down Jesus as he ran through on goal and the defender was shown a red card.
It was the first time City had beaten Real Madrid in the Champions League and means they are in the driving seat before the second leg at the Etihad next month.
Lyon vs Juventus
Lucas Tousart scored the only goal in the first half as the hosts claimed their first victory over the Italian giants, BBC reports.
Juventus started confidently but failed to create any clear chances before Tousart converted Houssem Aouar’s cross from close range to hand the Ligue 1 side the lead.
The visitors continued to have more possession but they struggled to penetrate the resolute Lyon defence, failing to register a single shot on target.
With the clock ticking down, Juventus ramped up the pressure, but Paulo Dybala’s late strike was ruled out for offside.
The second leg will take place at Allianz Stadium on 17 March
