Six teams went through in the UEFA Champions League this week, but the headlines were shared with PFC CSKA Moskva, Son Heung-Min, RSC Anderlecht and, once again, Luiz Adriano after another two nights of goals, records and general drama. UEFA.com reviews the highlights including goal commentaries from the feature games on our matchnight radio show.

State of play
Through:
Borussia Dortmund, FC Barcelona, FC Bayern München*, FC Paris Saint-Germain, FC Porto, Real Madrid CF (holders)
*Group winners

Cannot reach last 16: AFC Ajax, APOEL FC, Athletic Club

Team: PFC CSKA Moskva
Going into their back-to-back meetings with Manchester City FC, CSKA were on a run of six UEFA Champions League losses that started last year with home-and-away defeats by Manuel Pellegrini's side. The Russian club halted the slide a fortnight ago when they came back from 2-0 down to draw, and then on Wednesday they won 2-1 at nine-man City to move two points ahead of the English champions and level with AS Roma in second place in Group E.

A pair of first-half Seydou Doumbia goals proved the key, though the injury-hit Ivorian said after: "I was a bit surprised to be in the squad today."
