Barcelona 2-0 Plzen

Hmm, interesting. Like Plzen, we’ve occasionally employed ‘the swift blow to the head’ manoeuvre to quieten down problematic boys. It’s fine as long as you don’t hot them too hard. Image: David Ramos/Getty Images.

FC Porto 1-1 Apoel Nicosia

According to UEFA**, French ref Antony Gautier is the tallest guy ever to officiate a European Cup tie. Tru fax! Image: MIGUEL RIOPA/AFP/Getty Images.

Olympiakos 3-1 Borussia Dortmund

Jose Holebas (l) played in the Bundesliga for eight years before signing for Olympiakos. Germany-based Kickettes? We’re blaming you for this outrageous abs oversight. Natch. Image: REUTERS/Giannis Liakos/Icon.
