It looked set to be an early exit for the Red Devils as the Greek side won the first leg 2-0 thanks to goals from Alejandro Dominguez and Arsenal loanee Joel Campbell. Thankfully, back at Old Trafford, Robin van Persie hit a hat-trick and extended their spell in the competition, and David Moyes’ time at the club as manager. But not for long. They were then beaten 4-2 on aggregate by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.
After a 1-1 draw in Istanbul in the first leg, goals from Samuel Eto’o and Gary Cahill at Stamford Bridge sealed the Blues’ progression to the next stage of the competition under Jose Mourinho.
