Super Sergio Saves City’s Champions League Hopes

Manchester City are still alive in this season's Champions League.

A win away to Roma in a fortnight's time will see them progress to the last-16, that's after a Sergio Aguero hat-trick helped them to a 3-2 defeat of Bayern Munich.

The Bavarian side played the majority of that game with ten men, and had led 2-1 with five minutes to go.

Chelsea's second round berth is secure, and with a game to spare.

John Terry and Didier Drogba both scored in a 5-0 win away to Bundesliga side, Schalke.

Elsewhere last night, Lionel Messi surpassed Raul as the Champions League's all-time leading scorer with a hat-trick in Barcelona's 4-0 defeat of APOEL Nicosia.

Messi's latest display leaves him with a tally of 72 goals in Europe's top club competition.

The other goal in Cyprus was a first in a Barcelona shirt for Luis Suarez.
