Chelsea, Inter make knockouts, Arsenal held again

GROUP F
FC Barcelona 2 vs AC Milan 1
A brilliant late strike from Ronaldinho gave Barcelona a 2-1 win over AC Milan at the Nou Camp. The Brazilian forward brought the crowd to its feet when he jinked his way past two defenders and fired an unstoppable shot high into the net just two minutes from time to give the dominant Catalans a thoroughly deserved win. Milan had taken the lead against the run of play when Ukraine international Andriy Shevchenko finished off a razor-sharp break with a cool finish in the 17th minute. But the Catalans, who dominated throughout, responded by pouring forward and gained their reward when Samuel Eto’O lashed home after the outstanding Xavi had split open the Milan defence with a fine pass.

GROUP G
Werder Bremen 5 vs Anderlecht 1
Werder Bremen moved a step closer to the knockout stage with a 5-1 thrashing of Anderlecht on Tuesday, striker Ivan Klasnic scoring a hat-trick against the young Belgian side. Lively Croat striker Klasnic opened his account with a long-range left-foot strike after 77 seconds, then skilfully steered in a second following a corner. The Anderlecht side pulled one back through Oleg Iachtchouk but Miroslav Klose settled the game three minutes later and then Klasnic and Daniel Jensen rounded things off.

GROUP H
CSKA Moscow 0 vs Chelsea 1
Chelsea became the first club to qualify for the knockout stage when they won 1-0 at CSKA Moscow. The result gave the multi-national London side a maximum haul of 12 points from their four matches and they cannot finish out of the top two places in Group H with two matches to play. Arjen Robben and Damien Duff combined exquisitely for the goal, which Dutchman Robben rolled coolly into the bottom left corner of Igor Akinfeev’s net in the 24th minute. CSKA’s Brazilian striker Vagner Love skyed a 47th-minute penalty high over the bar.
