CSKA Moscow and Real Madrid played out a 1-1 draw in temperatures as low as minus ten degrees Celsius as Cristiano Ronaldo was on target again for the Spaniards. In the other round of 16 match, Chelsea's defence took most of the blame after a mistake-ridden show enabled Napoli to capitalise and score three goals after going down initially to a Juan Mata strike. Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi netter for the home team as the pressure on Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas seems to be reaching a breaking point.
