Manchester City came back from behind twice to beat AS Monaco 5-3 at home thanks to a brace from Sergio Aguero. Radamel Falcao too scored a brace for Monaco.

In another match, Atletico Madrid clinched a thrilling 4-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen. Antoine, Kevin Gameiro, Saul and Fernando Torres scored for the Madrid side.

Monaco still has a chance of qualifying to the next round if they score twice at home without conceding a single.

Considering how poorly the Cityzens' backline faired in the match, Pep Guardiola will have a lot of homework to do when they travel away.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in a very comfortable position as they scored 4 goals away from home. Thus, they already have a foot on the quarter-final.
