UCL: Ronaldo seals Man Utd win, Barca thrashed again at Benfica as Chelsea lose at Juve

Cristiano Ronaldo was the hero of the game at Old Trafford on Wednesday night as he scored a late winner for Manchester United against Villareal.

The Champions League matchday two encounter saw the Portugal forward net a superb 95th-minute goal to seal a 2-1 victory for the Red Devils.

In the other game of the group, leaders Atalanta defeated Young Boys 1-0 at home to stay on four points, while the defeat for Villarreal keeps the La Liga side bottom.

The Spanish giants had been beaten 3-0 in their opening game at home against Bayern Munich a fortnight ago, and has now made it two losses in a row.

Barca had the better ball possession on Wednesday night but it was Benfica who carried the day, leaving the Ronald Koeman side languishing at the bottom of Group E.

In the other game of the group, Bayern thrashed visiting Dynamo Kyiv 5-0 in a one-sided game at the Allianz Stadium in Germany.

The Bundesliga champions sit comfortably at the top of the group with sixe points, followed by Benfica, while Kyiv stay third with one point from their frist game.
