Follow all the action with us.
Arsenal through to quarters with dramatic late win
Scorers: Hurtig 89′
Arsenal made it through to the quarter-finals with a dramatic late winner to secure a 1-0 victory over Juventus.
It was a bitterly cold evening in North London as Juventus set up to ensure there was no repeat of the 4-0 hammering that was dished out in Turin last week.
Arsenal dominated for long spells of the game but just could not find a way through the Italian side’s resolute defence.
As the clock ticked towards 90, Lina Hurtig headed over the bar from close range when she really should’ve scored.
But the Swedish star made up for that missed chance when she scored a dramatic equaliser from close range after Stina Blackstenius put a dangerous ball in across the six-yard box.
The result means that Juventus will not be able to make it through to the knockout stage.
Putellas hits major milestone as Barcelona demolish St Pölten
Scorers: Nazareth 20′, 29′, LĂłpez 31′, Putellas 57′; Mädl 59′
Barcelona took the lead when Kika Nazareth won back the ball brilliantly inside her box and wasted no time in lifting her finish over goalkeeper Karina Schlüter.
Just nine minutes later, Nazareth and Barcelona had a second as the Portuguese youngster displayed her instinctual play once again with a neat turn and first-time finish inside the box.
With just over half an hour gone, Vicky López scored her first Champions League goal as she pounced on a loose ball when arriving into the box, looping her finish over Schlüter and into the net.
And while the first three goals were scored by young players, the fourth was scored by a player with plenty of pedigree in the competition.
The 30-year-old took the ball away from the defender with her right foot and shifted to her left to bend the shot beyond the goalkeeper for her 200th goal for the club.
Perhaps the excitement over that milestone had not quite died down, and two minutes later, St. Pölten had a consolation as they hit a free-kick low into the box which Valentina Mädl blasted home from close range at the far-post.
VĂĄlerenga hold Bayern to impressive draw
Scorers: Damnjanović 75′; Thorsnes 88′
VĂĄlerenga came back to earn a well-deserved 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich.
The home side stood firm for 75 minutes before Bayern finally made the breakthrough, as Jovana Damnjanović delivered a perfect striker’s finish from a Giulia Gwinn pull-back.
But the Norwegian side were not ready to lie down and with two minutes of normal time remaining, they found their equaliser.
Emma Stølen Godø headed into the danger area from a corner and Elise Thorsnes was on-hand to head home from close range.
Tonight marks the first time since Bayern have dropped points in the competition.

Shaw the star as Man City sneak past Hammarby
Scorers: Shaw 31′ 52′, Wangerheim 48′
Manchester City battled to a 2-1 win away at Hammarby thanks to a Bunny Shaw masterclass.
After Hammarby started brightly, it was up to Shaw to provide the opening goal for Manchester City with a superb solo effort.
Running into the box, she jinked past three onrushing defenders and hit a looping shot into the top right-hand corner.
Into the second half and a slip from Gracie Prior allowed Hammarby to flash a cross across goal, which was finished well by Ellen Wangerheim to the delight of the Stockholm crowd.
That lead was extremely short lived though as Shaw received the ball on the edge of the box and let fly with a superb shot that sailed into the back of the net.
That result sees the Blues through to the quarter-finals of the competition with two games to spare.
The next UWCL matchday is the penultimate one of the group stage and takes place on 11th & 12th December.
