UEFA Champions League: Rockin' Robin Delivers Comeback Win For Red Devils; Dortmund Also Head For Quarterfinals Despite Game-Two Home Defeat

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

At Manchester, England:

Robin Van Persie delivered a hat trick (PK-25', 45'+1, 52') as Manchester United overturned their 2-0 game-one road defeat with a stunning 3-0 game-two home victory over Olympiacos and dispatched the Greek club 3-2 on aggregate and advanced to the quarterfinal round.

At Dortmund, Germany:

Despite dropping a 2-1 game-two home decision to Zenit Saint Petersburg, Borussia Dortmund still won their two-game series 5-4 on aggregate.  Sebastian Kell scored for last year's Champions League runners-up in the 38th minute.  Hulk (shown here celebrating) scored in the 16th minute for the now-eliminated Russian club.
