Barcelona, Inter Milan, Roma and Sevilla all guaranteed their places in the knock-out stages of the Champions League after the penultimate round of games in Europe's elite club competition on Tuesday.
The quartet join the already-qualified Arsenal and Manchester United from groups E and H.
The two other qualifying spots from that side of the competition will be decided in the final round of pool games on Dec. 12, with Fenerbahce and PSV Eindhoven battling for second place in Group G and Rangers hosting Lyon in a Group E showdown.
Barcelona were made to work hard for their 2-2 draw in Lyon, the home side twice coming from behind to draw level.
A goal for each team inside the first seven minutes set the tone for a high-tempo match which also featured two second-half penalties for either side.
Andres Iniesta gave the Catalans the lead, but Juninho equalized four minutes later with a 30m free-kick that went high and missed all of its targets, but bounced over the diving Victor Valdes into the goal.
Barca again took the lead with a Lionel Messi penalty in the 58th minute after the Argentinian was fouled by Sebastien Squillaci as he strode towards goal.
But with 10 minutes remaining Lyon were given a lifeline as the referee pointed to the penalty spot for an Eric Abidal foul on Abdul Kader Keita.
Juninho's effort wrong-footed Valdes and leveled the scores at 2-2 in the 79th minute.
Lyon will now travel to Ibrox to face Rangers, who went down 3-2 to Stuttgart but are ahead of the French team on goal difference and need only a draw to qualify.
Ciprian Marica gave Stuttgart their first victory and their first points of the tournament with his 85th minute winner, poking in Ludovic Magnin's cross to settle a pulsating match.
Substitute Charlie Adam had put Rangers ahead with his first touch of the ball in the 27th minute, but Cacau brought Stuttgart level with a cheeky backheel in first-half stoppage time.
Stuttgart's Mexican international Pavel Pardo scored with a second-half thunderbolt from 20m, but Barry Ferguson capitalized on lapses in the German defense to equalize before Marica's strike.
Inter Milan secured top spot in group G with a 3-0 victory over Fenerbahce at the San Siro.
An own-goal from Edu, a clever finish from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a late clincher from Luis Antonio Jimenez lit up an otherwise dull affair.
The three points mean that Inter have 12 points from five games and cannot be caught, while Fenerbahce, second on eight points, will be feeling uneasy following PSV Eindhoven's 1-0 win at CSKA Moscow, which moved them up to seven points. CSKA are out of contention with just one point.
Fenerbahce host the Russians in two weeks' time while PSV entertain Inter in matches that will decide who claims second spot in the group.
Inter's Serie A rivals Roma made sure of their qualification with a 4-1 routing of winless Dynamo Kiev in Group F.
Roma's Montenegran striker Mirko Vucinic, who is deputizing for injured club captain Francesco Totti, netted a double while veteran defender Christian Panucci and Ludovic Giuly added one apiece.
Guinean striker Ismael Bangoura scored a second-half consolation goal for the home side.
Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo hit a stoppage-time stunner that clinched a 2-1 win over Sporting Lisbon that ensured the English side will finish top of Roma's group.
United trailed after Tomasz Kuszczak misjudged Abel's long-range strike, but Carlos Tevez came off the bench to equalize and Ronaldo stole the points at Old Trafford with a superb free-kick.
In Spain, Sevilla gained revenge for their 3-0 defeat by Arsenal in the opening game of this season's Champions League when they turned the tables with a 3-1 win.
Taiwan’s top women’s badminton doubles duo, Hsieh Pei-shan (謝沛珊) and Hung En-tzu (洪恩慈), achieved a straight-sets victory over Japan’s Kaho Osawa and Mayui Tanabe at the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Super 300 Macau Open on Sunday. The Taiwanese pair won the final 21-18, 21-12, marking the duo’s second title this year after their win at the BWF Super 300 Taipei Open in May. The match on Sunday was their first encounter with the Japanese duo, ranked No. 63 in the world. Hsieh and Hung, ranked No. 12, began the opening game well. Hung, who plays left-handed, performed strongly at both the net and the
Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko upset top-seeded Coco Gauff 6-1, 6-4 on Saturday night to reach the National Bank Open quarter-finals. “Your support was incredible,” Mboko told the crowd in French after a chorus of “Ole, Ole, Ole” chants echoed around the venue. “I’m really happy to win today ... It’s incredible. I’m so happy to beat such a great champion.” Gauff dropped to 2-3 since winning the French Open. She followed the major victory with opening losses in Berlin and Wimbledon, then overcame double-fault problems to win two three-set matches in Montreal. Gauff had five double-faults on Saturday after having 23 in
Jobe Bellingham on Tuesday admitted to having “anxieties” on following in brother Jude’s footsteps after joining Borussia Dortmund in the summer. Jobe Bellingham, 19, is two years younger than Jude Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid in 2023 after three years at Dortmund. A centerpiece of the England national team, Jude Bellingham has emerged as one of the best players in the world in recent seasons. The younger Jobe Bellingham joined Dortmund in June from Sunderland after their promotion to the English Premier League. He admitted he understood what the perception would be ahead of the move to Germany. “It’s something you do think about.
Before Tuesday’s 7-2 win at the Atlanta Braves, Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy suggested “most people couldn’t tell you five players on our team.” A look at the standings would indicate more Brewers players soon will be recognized by more fans. After all, it is difficult to overlook a team that not only continues to extend their lead in the National League Central, but also boasts the best record in the majors. “What we’re doing in here right now is special,” right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta said after allowing only four hits and one run in five innings, while setting a career high with
