Champions League: Man Utd and Inter through

Manchester United withstood a late fightback from Marseille to triumph 2-1 (2-1 agg) thanks to two goals from Javier Hernandez. Wes Brown's late own goal gabe Marseille hope, but United held firm to again reach the quarter final stage.

However, Bayern Munich crashed out after holding a 2-1 (3-1 agg) half time lead at home to Inter Milan. Despite a 1-0 away win, Bayern went out on away goals after Inter stunned the home crowd through second half goals from Wesley Sneijder and Goran Pandev. In a rematch between last years finalists, Bayern look set for revenge until Pandev's 88th minute goal reversed the outcome. Inter had got off to a great start with a 3rd minute goal from Eto'o, but Bayern seemed well in control after two first half goals.

Tomorrow sees the conclusion of the round of 16 matches with Chelsea at home to FC Copenhagen (Chelsea won 2-0 away) and Real Madrid hosting Lyon (1-1).
