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.
US track and field athletes have about four dozen pieces to choose from when assembling their uniforms at the Olympics. The one grabbing the most attention is a high-cut leotard that barely covers the bikini line and has triggered debate between those who think it is sexist and others who say they do not need the Internet to make sure they have good uniforms. Among those critical or laughing at the uniforms included Paralympian Femita Ayanbeku, sprinter Britton Wilson and even athletes from other countries such as Britain’s Abigail Irozuru, who wrote on social media: “Was ANY female athlete consulted in
Four-time NBA all-star DeMarcus Cousins arrived in Taiwan with his family early yesterday to finish his renewed contract with the Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. Cousins initially played a four-game contract with the Leopards in January. On March 18, the Taoyuan-based team announced that Cousins had renewed his contract. “Hi what’s up Leopard fans, I’m back. I’m excited to be back and can’t wait to join the team,” Cousins said in a video posted on the Leopard’s Facebook page. “Most of all, can’t wait to see you guys, the fans, next weekend. So make sure you come out and support the Beer
Former US Masters champion Zach Johnson was left embarrassed after a foul-mouthed response to ironic cheers from spectators after a triple bogey at Augusta National on Friday. Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, missed the cut after his three-over-par round of 75 left him on seven-over 151 for 36 holes, his six on the par-three 12th playing a big role in his downfall. Television footage showed Johnson reacting to sarcastic cheers and applause when he tapped in for the triple bogey by yelling: “Oh fuck off.” Such a response would be considered bad form in any golf tournament, but is particularly out of keeping
The sacred flame for the Paris Olympics was lit yesterday in Olympia, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Games, in a ceremony inspired by antiquity and marked by messages of hope amid multiple global crises. “In ancient times, the Olympic Games brought together the Greek city states, even — and in particular — during times of war and conflict,” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said. “Today, the Olympic Games are the only event that brings the entire world together in peaceful competition. Then as now, the Olympic athletes are sending this powerful message — yes, it is possible to compete fiercely
