The Portuguese champions became only the fifth team in Champions League history to overturn a three-goal first-leg defeat and progress, blitzing Bodo\/Glimt 5-0 after extra-time. A place in the quarter-finals for the first time since 1983 is theirs.<\/p>\n Lens blew the chance to put the pressure on PSG at the weekend, losing at Lorient. With PSG not in action, it was a chance missed to overtake the leaders in what has been a valiant effort to keep pace with the Parisians. The momentum is back with PSG.<\/p>\n The week when Manchester City\u2019s chase for the big trophies ended? A damaging draw at West Ham saw the Citizens lose more ground on Arsenal in the title race, before their European elimination was confirmed after defeat to Real Madrid.
