Juve, PSG in last 16; City made to wait
Paris, Nov. 7: Douglas Costa scored a dramatic injury-time winner to send Juventus into the Champions League knockout stages after a 21 win at Lokomotiv Moscow on Wednesday, while Paris SaintGermain and Bayern Munich joined the Italian champions in the last 16.
Mauro Icardi’s firsthalf goal was enough for PSG to edge past Club Brugge 1-0 at the Parc des Princes, as Bayern laboured to a 2-0 victory over Olympiakos.
Manchester City missed the chance to progress from Group C after a dramatic 1-1 draw at Atalanta which saw right-back Kyle Walker end the game in goal.
Juventus knew three points in Russia would be enough to secure their passage to the knockout rounds, and took a fourth-minute lead through Aaron Ramsey.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s free-kick bounced in front of Lokomotiv goalkeeper Guilherme, who inexplicably allowed the ball to squirm through his legs, with Ramsey prodding in from on the goalline.
Aleksei Miranchuk quickly levelled for the hosts. But Brazilian winger Costa came off the bench and netted a magnificent 93rd-minute winner.
PSG reached the last 16 for the eighth straight season, but a nervy display against Brugge will not have boosted hopes of the French champions making the semis for the first time since 1995.
Meanwhile, Premier League champions City were made to wait after Atalanta’s second-half fightback at the San Siro.
Raheem Sterling put Pep Guardiola’s men in front after only six minutes, but Gabriel Jesus dragged a dreadful penalty well wide shortly before half-time.
