Champions League Results: Final scores and news from Tuesday




We now know two of the quarterfinalists in this year's Champions League. On Tuesday, Real Madrid got past Roma to advance while Wolfsburg did the same against Gent. The Spanish and German teams are through into the final eight of Europe's top club competition. Here are the final results, what to know and tomorrow's schedule.


1. Real Madrid, as good as it gets when it comes to the Champions League

With the win, in which Cristiano Ronaldo found the net, Real Madrid was a bit fortunate. Roma had various chances and could have been up as much as 3-0 in the first half. But, the Spanish club did enough to hold on with Keylor Navas playing really well in goal, and it just continued the team's domination in the competition. Real Madrid has 10 Champions League titles and has now qualified for the quarterfinals six straight years.

2. Wolfsburg is gonna be a tough one for anybody

Wolfsburg was fortunate in getting Gent in the draw, but the Germans played very well and remained organized to advance. Now, depending on how things play out, most teams would prefer to get Wolfsburg in the next round, but it won't be a push over. After adding Julian Draxler this season, the club has taken a step up in play and looks more composed moving forward. It won Group B which including PSV and Manchester United, and the club was able to take care of the Belgians who were riding high through a fantastic defensive display for most of the 180 minutes. Wolfsburg will be the underdog in the next round unless they play PSV.

3. Mo chances, Mo problems

I really, really like Mohamed Salah. The former Chelsea and Fiorentina man, who is now with Roma, is someone I rate highly and I think can be one of the top talents in the world if his progression continues. He is confident and skilled, but he didn't look like it on Tuesday. He missed three fantastic chances which could have seen Roma back into the tie with Real Madrid. Even in second half with plenty of time, he messed up. Watch this.

Wednesday's schedule

Two more places will be booked in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. Zenit hosts Benfica trailing 1-0, while Chelsea is down 2-1 while hosting PSG. Note that the Zenit-Benfica game starts at noon ET due to the time difference by playing in Russia.
