Celtic 0-0 Milan
Celtic and Milan played out a goalless draw at Parkhead. The Rossoneri's lack of firepower let them down with Alberto Gilardino going closest to scoring.
Lille 0-1 Man United
Ryan Giggs's quickly-taken free kick sank Lille in a controversial clash in Lens. Manchester United were fortunate that Peter Odemwingie's header was ruled out for a push on Nemanja Vidic and the Lille players appeared to threaten to walk off after Giggs's 83rd minute winner.
PSV Eindhoven 1-0 Arsenal
Edison Mendez struck a low drive to clinch an important win for PSV Eindhoven against last season's finalists Arsenal.
Real Madrid 3-2 Bayern Munich
Real Madrid shaded a five-goal thriller with Raul scoring twice and Ruud van Nistelrooy also on target. David Beckham was a key figure for the hosts but Lucio's header and a late Mark van Bommel strike give Bayern Munich real hope.
Bayern Munich grabbed two vital away goals despite losing 3-2 at Real Madrid. A Raul brace sandwiched Lucio's header and Real seemed to be cruising when Ruud van Nistelrooy made it 3-1, but a late Mark van Bommel classic put Bayern back in contention for a quarter final place.
A hotly-disputed Ryan Giggs free-kick gave Manchester United a 1-0 win away to Lille as the match ended in chaos. Giggs's 83rd-minute effort was taken before the referee's whistle, prompting a farcical attempt from Lille to leave the field in protest.
