Gunners and Bayern Reach Elite Eight

Two Round of 16 two-match series concluded Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League.

At London:

Nicklas Bendtner's hat trick (10', 25', PK-90') helped Arsenal more than cancel out their game one road defeat with a 5-0 home demolition of FC Porto in match two to take the two-game series 6-2 on aggregate. Here's Nick (left), celebrating with fellow goal scorer Samir Nasri (63').

At Florence, Italy:

Despite dropping a 3-2 road decision to Fiorentina in game two, Bayern Munich (with the score 4-4 on aggregate for the two games), thanks to the away goals rule, advanced to the quarterfinal round.   Mark van Bommel (60') and Arjen Robben (65', pictured here) provided the scoring for the visitors.
