UEFA Champions League, Group H: Late PK Gains Road Draw For Rossoneri; Barca Avenge Last Year's Road Loss To Bhoys

Action from Group H of the UEFA Champions League resumed on Tuesday with two games.

At Amsterdam, Netherlands:



Mario Balotelli's stoppage-time penalty kick (90'+4, that's him here) enabled AC Milan to gain a 1-1 road draw with Ajax Amsterdam. Stefano Denswil had scored in the 90th minute for the hosts.

At Glasgow, Scotland:



Cesc Fabregas (that's him celebrating) scored the only goal of the match in the 75th minute as Barcelona (minus the injured Lionel Messi) avenged their road defeat against Celtic from last year with a 1-0 road win over the 10-man Bhoys.
