UCL Series Openers: Blues Top Juventus At Home; Panathinakos Get Road Draw; Reds Top Real Madrid On Road; Bayern Spank Lions In Lisbon

The four remaining series from the UEFA Champions League's Eighthfinals opened Wednesday.

At London:

Didier Drogba 12th-minute goal was the only score of match one as Chelsea defeated visiting Juventus 1-0. Here's the Ivory Coast star celebrating the game winner tally.

At Villarreal, Spain:

Giuseppe Rossi's successful penalty kick at 67 minutes (he's seen here celebrating) enabled Villarreal to gain and salvage a 1-1 home draw in their opening match with Panathinaikos. Giorgos Karagounis did provide the Greek club with a precious away goal at 59 minutes.

At Lisbon:

Doubles from Franck Ribery (42', PK-63', he's pictured here celebrating his second tally) and Luca Toni (84', 90'+1) helped Bayern Munich as they delivered a 5-0 road brassknuckling to Sporting in the opening of the clubs' two-game series.

At Madrid:

Yossi Benayoun provided the lone goal of game one (82', pictured here) as Liverpool took the match 1-0 on the road against Real Madrid.
