SPOILERS:













16 Vennegoor (Celtic) scores! The home side break through as Barcelona fail to clear with Scott McDonald harrying Carles Puyol into a loose clearance. Lee Naylor delivers the cross first time from the corner of the penalty area, and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink dives to head powerfully beyond the diving Víctor Valdés.

18 Messi (Barcelona) scores! Barcelona equalise within two minutes, Messi on target. The Argentinian breaks down the right, plays a lovely one-two with Deco and fires high into the net as Naylor fails to nick the ball off the striker as he slides in near the by-line.

38 Robson (Celtic) scores! Celtic are back in front as Robson marks his UEFA Champions League debut with a fine goal. Again it comes from the left wing, Aiden McGeady skipping away from two tackles and lifting in a cross for Robson to supply a looping header that drops over the despairing Valdes.

52 Henry (Barcelona) scores! Gary Caldwell is made to pay for some slack defending as Thierry Henry scores a lovely leveller for the visitors. The defender’s pass was intercepted by Ronaldinho who fed Henry down the left. The former Arsenal FC man did the rest, charging towards goal before curling the ball high into the Celtic net from a tight angle.

79 Messi (Barcelona) scores! Messi pounces again as Barcelona take the lead for the first time. The visitors broke quickly down the right but Caldwell’s attempted clearance hit a team-mate and the ball for Messi who prodded in his sixth goal in the competition this season despite Boruc getting a touch to his shot.
--------

17 Kežman (Fenerbahçe) scores! The Turkish team take the lead to the delight of the home support, Mateja Kežman ghosting in unmarked to head Uğur Boral's pinpoint left-wing cross past the exposed Andrés Palop.

23 Edu (Fenerbahçe) scores an own goal. Disaster for the home team as Sevilla strike back within six minutes of falling behind. It is a fortunate equaliser as Edu inadvertently turns a right-wing

57 Lugano (Fenerbahçe) scores! Fenerbahçe are back in front as Alex delivers an out-swinging corner from the left and Lugano rises unmarked to power an unstoppable header into the top corner of the net. Palop can only stand and watch.

66 Escudé (Sevilla) scores! Sevilla are level again as Christian Poulsen flicks on Diego Capel's left-wing corner at the near post and Julien Escudé steals in unnoticed at the back post to thump a first-time shot into the roof of the net from close range.

87 Semih Şentürk (Fenerbahçe) scores! Fenerbahçe are in front for the third time and surely this time it is a decisive lead. Substitute Semih Şentürk advances into the penalty area and fires in a low shot that takes a slight deflection off Ivica Dragutinović and spins into the corner of the net. The Turkish team look like they will have a 3-2 lead to defend in Spain.
--------

54 Benzema (Lyon) scores! The home side finally break through and it is the irrepressible Benzema who breaks the deadlock. The 20-year-old collects a short ball from Jérémy Toulalan and, with the United defence seemingly anticipating a return pass, turns smoothly to drive a low shot beyond Edwin van der Sar and in off the left-hand post.

87 Tévez (Man. United) scores!
