Manchester City, playing without Yaya Toure, Vincent Kompany and English Premier League (EPL) leading scorer Sergio Aguero, managed to defy the odds, defeating Series A club AS Roma to advance to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Luis Suarez helped Barcelona beat PSG with an assist to Lionel Messi -- scoring his 75th career Champions League, three ahead of Cristiano Ronald on the all-time scorers list -- and scoring his first goal with the Catalan club since his transfer from Liverpool.
Cristiano Ronaldo passed Raul on the UEFA Champions League all-time scorers league as he tries to catch Lionel Messi who currently holds the record. Meanwhile, Liverpool failed to qualify into the Round of 16 of the tournament, eliminated by FC Basel after 1-1 at Anfield.
Manchester City, which recently won their second English Premier League (EPL) title in three years, has accepted UEFA's sanctions - including a €60 million ($82,056,000 USD).
