Barcelona achieved a 1-0 lead over Manchester United, boosting their chances before heading into next week’s second leg of their Champions League quarter-final after a 12th-minute Luke Shaw own goal gave them victory at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

The only goal of the match came after Luiz Suarez's header deflected off the shoulder of a scrambling Shaw and beat David De Gea to give the Barca the lead and although the linesman initially flagged for offside, the goal was given after a VAR video review.

On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo produced yet another great performance for the old ladies as he scored a goal to help Juventus to a 1-1 draw at Ajax Amsterdam in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on Wednesday.

Juventus took the lead on the stroke of halftime as Portuguese forward Ronaldo began an attacking move inside his own half before sprinting down field and ping to head in a clever chip from Joao Cancelo.

Ajax equalised 30 seconds into the second half after Cancelo lost control of the ball to allow David Neres to sprint down the left wing, cut inside and curl the ball past Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
