Ronaldo, the Champions League's record goalscorer, scored twice in the second half to end an 11-hour wait for a goal and put the 11-times winners in charge. Arturo Vidal had headed Bayern ahead but then wasted a chance to double their lead when he blasted a penalty over the crossbar.

    So it's going to need another huge turnaround at the Camp Nou if Barcelona's Champions League hopes aren't to be extinguished in the last eight. But Juventus are looking good and they are on course to avenge their final defeat to Barca of a couple of years ago. That's it for tonight, thanks for joining us and see you next time!
