OK, that's all from our coverage but I'll be back tomorrow for the return of the Europa League. Everton, Tottenham, Liverpool and Celtic all in action.

See you then.

Less than half an hour remains of the brilliant Wednesday Night Club, in the company of Mark Chapman, Bolton boss Neil Lennon, Burnley defender Steven Reid and Sunday Times football correspondent Jonathan Northcroft.

They're currently discussing the future of QPR's temporary manager Chris Ramsey. You can join in by texting 85058 (UK only) or on social media., external

Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard, speaking on Sky Sports: "With the Champions League you have to be aware of the strength of teams like Barcelona. We will be aware of that but we want to use our strengths. We have to use the home advantage, and we know we have an abundance of attacking talent in the team. We will look to attack.

"They will certainly respect us. When you get to this level there is respect, but not fear. It is the Champions League, it is focus and bits of luck. It is all to come."

It has been a pretty good first two days of Champions League knockout action, and next week is looking pretty tasty too. Manchester City and Arsenal are in action - against Barcelona and Monaco respectively.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti reveals he celebrated Marcelo's second goal on the pitch because he is not used to seeing the Brazilian score with his right foot.

One the performance he says: "It was good. I think we started well with a good attitude Then after the first goal the game was easier. We didn't need to push. We controlled the game well. In the end the victory is good for us."

On Gareth Bale's display: "I think the performance of Gareth was good because he helped the team. He came back a lot of times. He is in good condition now and tried to do something in attack but the pitch was not too good. The performance in whole was very good."

Is there less pressure as you won 'La Decima' last season?: "The pressure is the same. last year 'Decima', this year 'Undecima', so the pressure is the same."

Conor Matchett: Clattenburg was appallingly inconsistent tonight. Basel were poor with the ball and Porto? Totally uninventive.

Robin Smit: Many fans out there think they know everything about the game, but when it comes to being a referee they know nothing.

Mark Clattenburg was not afraid to get involved today, giving out more yellow cards than any other referee in this season's Champions League.

Bradford can do little wrong at the moment and continued their impressive run with a 2-0 win at Leyton Orient which lifted them to within a point of the League One play-off places.

James Hanson got both goals in the first half to leave the O's in relegation trouble.

Patrick Bamford scored a second-half equaliser as Middlesbrough survived the dismissal of goalkeeper Dimi Konstantopoulos to earn a 1-1 draw and go to the top of the Championship.

Konstantopoulos was sent off for bringing down Birmingham striker Clayton Donaldson in the 43rd minute. Paul Caddis drove home the spot-kick to give the Blues a deserved lead.

Boro hit back after half-time and equalised after 74 minutes when Bamford stroked home his 12th of the season.

Sanj: Schalke. Basically the German Arsenal. Happy to finish second in their group and qualify for the knockout rounds just to make the numbers.

FantasySportsWizard: Basel have outplayed United, Liverpool and so on in recent years. There's no way they would they be battling relegation. They're a very underestimated side.

So how good was Cristiano Ronaldo?

He had 57 touches, only Karim Benzema had fewer of the 10 outfield players who started the game, but he scored one goal and assisted the other.

Can't argue with that.

Nikhil: Except for that goal, Ronaldo was nowhere to be seen. His passing was awful.

Az Clay: Schalke have themselves to blame. Real Madrid got two away goals, and this tie looks over at half time.

"Pepe return made big difference for Madrid. He's been excellent ever since Mourinho left and he concentrated on playing instead of fighting."

And it is all over at Basel, where it ends all square.

Kevin-Prince Boateng sends a ball into the box but it is too heavy and goes out of play, signalling the final action of the game. Job done for Real Madrid, and Cristiano Ronaldo is back on the goal trail.

Four added minutes at Basel, will there be any late drama?

Three minutes of added time and a few Schalke fans are heading for the exit. There are plenty still chanting and cheering, pretty appreciative with the overall efforts of their players.

Ross in Glasgow: Schalke are toothless in big games. But they're a quality side when they play their own game, and they get an average attendance of 65,000. Re 74mins, I doubt they would struggle in the Premier League...

Adam Khan: Re 74mins, I doubt they would be battling relegation considering Basel finished above Liverpool in the group!

Basel are pushing forward in search of a second with Porto seemingly happy to soak up the pressure. They've got the potentially crucial away goal so probably job done as far as they are concerned.
