All four giants failed to win a single match. Except for Chelsea, who had a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Galatasaray, the other three teams, Manchester United, Man City and Arsenal, all suffered 0-2 defeats.
Meanwhile, La Liga won big when all three of their representatives, Barcelona, Atletico and Real, won all their matches. Of these three teams, Real secured their ticket to the next round after a 6-1 thrashing at Schalke 04, with Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale each scoring a double.
Bayern and Dortmund still deserve to prove that they are the elite representatives of Bundesliga with away wins to put one foot in the quarter-finals. Leverkusen and Schalke are considered eliminated.
PSG are the only French representative who have already secured a ticket to the next round. Meanwhile, Olympiakos also have a big advantage after defeating the Red Devils 2-0 at home.
