  1. What it meanspublished at 20:22

    Wolfsburg 2-1 Man Utd

    Plain and simply... Manchester United are heading out unless they pull their finger out.

    PSV and CSKA are still drawing, meaning the Dutch side will progress instead because of their better head-to-head record against LvG's boys.

  2. Pass (x11), goalpublished at 20:20

    Wolfsburg 2-1 Man Utd

    That second Wolfsburg goal was a thing of beauty. The move started with keeper Diego Benaglio, who made that wonderful save from Marouane Fellaini seconds earlier remember, and 11 passes later the ball was nestled in the back of the United net.

    Va va voom.

    Real Madrid 2-0 Malmo

    That's two now for Karim Benzema and Real Madrid at home to Malmo - and the French striker's fourth goal in two games.

    The Spanish giants have already booked their place in the knockout rounds with top spot, while Malmo look certain to finish bottom. 

    Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have taken the lead away to Benfica in a match that will decide who tops Group C - both of those are already qualified too.

    I don't think Boris Becker can see into the future and this tweet is from earlier... but it's good to know the big man has been watching.

    Man City 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach

    Manchester City manage to string a few passes together and Raheem Sterling has a pop from 25 yards, a few feet over. 

    Remember, City must win and hope Juventus lose if they are to top Group D.

    "Jullian Draxler had been quiet until now, but this is world class. Everyone thought he was going to shoot but he has such great vision to square the ball across for a tap-in."

    That is a sensational goal. Simply sensational.

    Wolfsburg switch play from right to left with what initially looks like a Hollywood ball. Andre Schurrle is the recipient and he takes advantage of Guillermo Varela's slip to pass to Julian Draxler.

    Then it gets good... the young German glides past three defenders, plays a one-two and then unselfishly lays the ball into the path of Vieirinha to sweep into an empty net.

    Beautiful. The type of goal which, if you scored on a computer, you'd film and send to your mates.

    Man City 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach

    In the opening 28 minutes, Borussia Monchengladbach have played 223 passes to 118 by Manchester City.

    Despite being expected to start behind a lone striker, Yaya Toure is City's deepest midfielder and has played more passes than anyone else in his side.

    Have no doubt though, the better football is being played by the away side and their passing has looked likely to deliver end product.

    "Excellent delivery from Daley Blind and for me that is more a fantastic save than a bad miss. Diego Benaglio does brilliantly to claw the ball out." 

  10. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:14

    Wolfsburg 1-1 Man Utd

    How can anyone fail to mark Marouane Fellaini? Wolfsburg don't and almost pay the price, but a powerful header from six yards is instinctively saved low down by Diego Benaglio.

    Man City 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach

    Manchester City's visitors (I can't spell that wrong!) are having a good go here, and they should do better with a free-kick from 35 yards out. City manage to clear it and break but Kevin De Bruyne's cutback is easily dealt with.

  12. Target the young full-back more?published at 20:11

    Wolfsburg 1-1 Man Utd

    If I was an opposition manager and saw young right-back Guillermo Varela's name on the Manchester United team-sheet, I'd be telling my lads to get at him. Not Wolfsburg boss Dieter Hecking. Or if he has then his players aren't listening, preferring to attack down the middle or the right flank instead.

    Wolfsburg 1-1 Man Utd

    Wolfsburg are the ones on the front foot here: the Brendon McCullum of Champions League football, if you will. They might score six tonight, or give it all away with their lack of defence.

    Vieirinha is the latest to have a pop, but his deflected shot doesn't have enough pace on it and is easily dealt with.

  14. Clinical finishingpublished at 20:09

    Wolfsburg 1-1 Man Utd

    There have been two shots on target in this game. And, as you know, two goals. As our graphic shows, Anthony Martial's finish from a tight angle was the first, followed by Naldo's near-post finish.

    That lively start has fired up the crowd inside the Volkswagen Arena. The home side are passing the ball about well - plenty of Hollywood balls though, it must be said.

    Real Madrid 1-0 Malmo

    Karim Benzema has fired Real Madrid in front at home to Malmo

    Rafael Benitez's side have already qualified as group winners, but bottom-club Malmo of Sweden could still sneak into the Europa League.... 

    Over in Group C it's still goalless between Benfica and Atletico Madrid. Both of those are already through, too, but Atletico can finish top with a win in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon.

  18. What does it all mean?published at 20:06

    Four goals in the first 20 minutes... it's all been a bit hectic, hasn't it?

    But it also all remains the same. As it stands, Manchester United are going through because CSKA are holding PSV while Juventus remain in top spot in Manchester City's group.
