UCL matches continued on Wednesday at multiple locations in Europe. At the Etihad, Kevin de Bruyne's 91st-minute winner gave Manchester City a dramatic Champions League victory over Group D rivals Sevilla.
The Spanish side had taken a deserved lead when Vitolo's cross was turned in by the impressive Yevhen Konoplyanka. City quickly equalised when Wilfried Bony's close-range shot was deflected home off Adil Rami after good work by Yaya Toure and for the second successive European game, Manuel Pellegrini's men snatched three vital points in the dying seconds, when De Bruyne scored his fifth goal in his last seven games for City at the death and sent City into second place in the group.
In Moscow, Anthony Martial rescued a point for Manchester United as they drew with CSKA Moscow in a laboured performance. Seydou Doumbia gave CSKA the lead, reacting first after David de Gea saved Roman Eremenko's penalty, awarded for a handball by Martial. United improved after the break with Martial making up for his mistake by heading in Antonio Valencia's cross. Captain Wayne Rooney was anonymous through out the encounter, and it generally was not a thrilling display for United; bothersome with Sunday's Manchester derby looming large.
Real Madrid failed to score in a Champions League group-stage game for the first time since 2008 as they played out a goalless draw at Paris St-Germain. The two sides had picked up maximum points from their first two fixtures but largely cancelled each other out. Cristiano Ronaldo had the best chance in the second half, shooting just wide of the far post. The sides are level on seven points in Group A.
