Real Madrid looks sharp, Roma fails to capitalize

After getting destroyed 3-0 by Eibar last weekend, Real Madrid was reeling entering this Champions League clash. It looked like the team was turning the corner under Santiago Solari, only to then struggle in league play last time out, raising more concerns. But Real looked sharp on Tuesday, going to Roma to earn a 2-0 win with two goals in the second half from Gareth Bale and Lucas Vazquez. 

But luck was on their side. 

Cengiz Under of Roma had a chance late in the first half to give the Italian club the lead, and somehow the young Turkish player did this:

City responds well, advances to knockout stage

Gutsy result for City at Lyon, a team that has been playing well. City trailed twice in the game and on both occasions managed to respond less than 10 minutes later. Aymeric Laporte equalized seven minutes after Maxwel Cornet's opener, and then Sergio Aguero headed home seven minutes from time after Cornet had scored to make it 2-1 only moments prior. 

City dominated the ball but was slow to get going in attack, with Lyon having more chances through the first hour. But City valiantly fought back for a point that keeps them in first place. 

This might be the turning point for Bayern Munich

It's no secret that Bayern Munich has been really poor this season, evident by the club sitting in fifth place in the Bundesliga. Its stellar scoring ability, the one that sees it crush teams, has been missing for quite a while. In fact, its last emphatic victory came against Stuttgart on Sept. 1. 

The club responded well on Tuesday by crushing Benfica 5-1 to clinch a spot in the round of 16. Bayern had 10 shots on goal as Arjen Robben and Robert Lewandowski scored two a piece, with Franck Ribery also scoring. 

Now, could this be the turning point they need to get things going after failing to win their last two?

Manchester United, Juventus through

Juve's 1-0 win over Valencia and Manchester United's 1-0 win over Young Boys saw both teams officially clinch a spot in the round of 16. United was headed for a poor draw against the Swiss club until Marouane Fellaini was the main of the hour with this injury-time winner. 

Check out Jose Mourinho's reaction to Fellaini's winner:

Safe to say he's pretty excited about moving on to the next round.
