The cold weather was not a factor for FC Barcelona as they comfortably defeated Spartak Moscow 3-0 and get to advance in the round of 16. Barcelona opened the scoresheet with Dani Alves in minute 16 and by minute 39 the wonderful Messi was scoring his second goal of the night. By the way Messi's double puts him closer to break Muller's record of 85 goals in 1972, the most goals scored in one calendar year, the Argentine has 80 so far. It would be amazing if Messi could break that record in the next seven games left this year... Why not...
Another entertaining game was Valencia vs Bayern Munich as they draw 1-1 but the goalkeepers were busy stopping really good attempts from both side. However, the results ensure that both teams also qualified for the knock out stages, that's where things get even more entertaining. Sofiane Feghouli scored for Valencia and Thomas Muller equalized for Bayern. However, the participation of players such as Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Frank Ribery and Mario Gomes from the Bayern side and Ricardo Costa, Andres Guardado, Roberto Soldado from Valencia made the game very interesting to watch.
The blues were left feeling blue by Adrea Pirlo and company. That's right, Juventus defeated Chelsea 3-1. That results puts the blues in a tough position to qualify for the knock out stages. Chelsea was not able to connect the dots and capitalize on the few chances they had. But Juventus took advantage of the home game and inspired by loud chants of their fans opened the scoresheet at minute 38. It was a nice shot by Pirlo from outside the box that was deflected by Fabio Quagliarella and send it to the net. Next, Arturo Vidal put his name on the scoreboard with his goal at minute 61. Then it was Sebastian Giovinco that scored the third goal of the night via a nice through ball in midfield which the attacker managed to put in the net.
