Real Madrid will join Barcelona in the last sixteen of the competition after beating Olympique Lyon 0-2, their fourth win out of four. Ronaldo got both goals, the first from a first half free kick and the second from a penalty after the break. Villarreal are out of the competition though after losing 0-3 to Manchester City, and after four defeats they have to win their next two games to have any chance of reaching the Europa League spot. Touré Yaya scored twice for the Premier League side, with Balotelli converting a penalty in between. (02.11.11)
A complete night for La Liga teams at last, with both winning on Tuesday. Messi scored his second hat-trick in four days, and Fàbregas added another as Barcelona beat ten man Viktoria Plsen 0-4 to ensure a place in the knock-out round. And Valencia won 3-1 against Bayer Leverkusen with a first goal from Jonas within ten seconds and two more after the break from Soldado and Rami to keep alive their chances of qualifying. (01.11.11)
