Leo The Lion Leads Barca Into Quarterfinals; Bordeaux Also In Elite Eight

The UEFA Champions League's Round of 16 concluded with two games on Wednesday.

At Barcelona:

Lionel Messi's double (13', 60', that's him celebrating) helped carry Barcelona to a 4-0 game-two home fistbeating of VfB Stuttgart, enabling the defending champions to take the two-match set 5-1 on aggregate.

At Bordeaux, France:

Yoann Gourcuff (5', that's him celebrating with teammates) and Marouane Chamakh (88') each tallied once as Bordeaux defeated visiting Olympiacos 2-1 in game two and took the two-game series 3-1 on aggregate.

The drawing for the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds will take place this coming Friday at Nyon, Switzerland.
