Glen Pine's Basle are the new leaders of Serie A, after earning a point away at Gerard O'Brien's Bayern Munich in a particularly bad tempered affair. The home side seemed to be well in control after two Sergio Aguero goals in the first twenty minutes of the game, and when Lukaku was sent off ten minutes later for Basle, Bayern fans would have expected their side to go on and dominate the game. However, goalscorer Aguero himself saw red just before half time - and the game changed completely in the second half. Pedrito pulled one back six minutes into the second half, and Benteke grabbed a late late equaliser in the final minute. Defeat for Richard Coupland's Lazio means that despite not winning, Basle are now top. Lazio lost 1-0 at Bazz Wetton's Antwerp, Henrique with the only goal of the game. Lazio are one of three clubs now a point behind the leaders, Benfica are third after a 3-1 win at PSV whilst Real Madrid are in fourth after a stunning 5-2 win at Mini Mars. Zaza scored four times for Real, whilst Dave Burton's Mini Mars seem to suddenly be in free fall, having fallen from title condenders to the relegation places in the space of a week or so. Two goals from Insigne and a 2-0 win over Atletico saw AC Milan move out of the bottom three and above Mini Mars on goal difference, whilst PSG also climbed away from the bottom somewhat, beating Juventus 3-0 to leave the Turin side second bottom, a point behind Mini Mars and two clear of bottom club Atletico.
Jamie Maycroft's Dnipro remain unbeaten in Serie B, they won 1-0 at Leverkusen this week to stay two points clear of New York Red Bull, 4-0 winners at La Coruna. The third and fourth placed sides faced each other - Sturridge with a late equaliser for Palermo at home to Roma, the 1-1 draw there leaves Roma two points outside the automatic promotion spots and Palermo five.
