- City striker Alvaro Negredo had a late effort saved by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer - which prevented the Premier League side from finishing top and then possibly playing the likes of Olympiakos or Bayer Leverkusen. But it did not take any of the gloss off of a brilliant win against a Bayern Munich side which had not previously lost this season.

Hello and welcome to Wednesday's Sportsday! Before we wrap our minds around another action-packed day of sport, let's start with Manchester City's superb 3-2 win over European champions Bayern Munich.
The Blues battled back from a 2-0 deficit to shock the Germans on their own patch. However, City boss Pellegrini seemed not to realise his team were only one goal away from claiming top spot in Champions League Group D - therefore potentially avoiding the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain in the last 16.
Galatasaray's vital Group B game against Juventus will resume at 13:00 GMT today after being abandoned because of snow.
The sides were taken off after 32 minutes of play - with the game goalless - because the lines on the pitch were not visible following heavy snowfall in Istanbul.
Italian champions Juventus need a point to claim to qualify as group runners-up, while their Turkish opponents require a victory to progress.
