UEFA Champions League Group H: Rossoneri Bounce Back To Gain Road Draw With Barca; Viktoria Plzen and FC BATE Draw Too

Group H play in the UEFA Champions League commenced on Tuesday with two games.


At Barcelona:





Thiago Emiliano da Silva scored his equalizer at the death (90'+2) as AC Milan came from behind to gain a 2-2 draw on the road with defending champions Barcelona.  Alexandre Pato (pictured here celebrating) scored in the opening minute for the Rossoneri.  Pedro Rodriguez Ledesma (36') and David Villa (50') each tallied once for Barca.


At Prague, Czech Republic:





Renan Bressan's equalizer in the 69th minute carried FC BATE Borisov to a 1-1 road deadlock with FC Viktoria Plzen. Marek Bakos (that's him mobbed by teammates) scored for the Czech club in first-half stoppage time (45'+1).  The contest was played in Prague since Viktoria's home stadium did not meet UEFA standards.
