Man U defeat Olympiakos to make Champions League quarter final
First up in football… they've done it!
Manchester United defeated Olympiakos 3-0 last night, the margin they required to overturn a 2-0 deficit in the first round.
A Robin van Persie hat-trick kept the red-devil's last hope of lifting a trophy this season alive, even if they are very much the outsiders.
The Dutch international began the Old Trafford comeback with a 25th-minute penalty, awarded after he had been shoved in the back by Jose Holebas.
He then leveled the tie on aggregate in first-half stoppage time, steering in Wayne Rooney's cross and Van Persie completed his hat-trick with a free kick six minutes after the break.
Unfortunately after all his exertions Van Persie had to be stretchered off towards the end of the match with what looked like a knee injury.
The victory gives the United Manager David Moyes some much needed breathing room following a 3-0 loss to Liverpool in the Premiere League at the weekend and he says it's entirely possible they could go all the way:
"We will go into it as underdogs in a lot of the games so from that point of view hopefully we can do it, I don't see any reason why not, I genuinely believe this football club is capable of it and I believe if we play to our capabilities which we have not shown that often then I think we can be a match for any team."
Manchester United will find out who they'll face in the next round of the Champion's League match ups are drawn tomorrow.
Borussia Dortmund through in Champions League despite loss to Zenit
Unable to overturn THEIR deficit from the first leg were Zenit St Petersburg.
Despite defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-1 last night it wasn't quite enough and it's now the German side who go through 5-4 on aggregate.
Zenit St Petersburg caretaker coach Sergei Semak was gracious in defeat:
"I want to congratulate Juergen Klopp for making it to the next round. The team also played super football. I saw today that my complete team stood together and showed their best and we must learn for the future. It was a good game and I think that we will have fewer problems in the future. I think we'll be in the Champions League more often in the future."
Zenit sacked coach Luciano Spalletti after a run of one win in 12 competitive matches and will be managed by Villas-Boas from Thursday.
