UEFA Champions League Group A: Super Mario Guides Bayern To Home Win; Citizens Sinks Yellow Submarine

Group-stage play in the UEFA Champions League continued on Wednesday with eight games, two of them in Group A.

At Munich, Germany:





A first-half hat trick for Mario Gomez (17', 23', pictured here , 42') proved just enough as Bayern Munich held off visiting Napoli 3-2.

At Villarreal, Spain:





Yaya Toure scored twice (30', 71', that's him celebrating after his second tally) as Manchester City eliminated Villarreal from the tournament with a 3-0 road fist beating of the Yellow Submarine.
