Luis Suarez scored twice but Sergio Aguero and Joe Hart kept Manchester City's Champions League hopes alive as Barcelona won 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

The former Liverpool striker fired in two first-half goals as the visitors completely dominated proceedings in the opening 45 minutes, before Aguero pulled one back in a much-improved display from City after the break, while Lionel Messi had a penalty saved in the dying moments.

The hosts’ comeback was halted when Gael Clichy was sent off for a second yellow card, and Barcelona saw out the victory to take a lead back to Camp Nou.

The result is a slight improvement on the sides’ last meeting in Manchester 12 months ago, when Barcelona ran out 2-0 winners on their way to a 4-1 aggregate victory, but Pellegrini’s men know they face an uphill struggle in the second leg of this last-16 tie on March 18.

Juventus will take a slender lead to Borussia Dortmund for their Champions League last-16 second leg after a 2-1 win in Turin. Carlos Tevez put the Italian side ahead early on before a defensive mix-up gifted Dortmund an away goal through Marco Reus in the 18th minute.

Alvaro Morata scored against the run of play two minutes before half-time to regain Juve's lead, but despite having the better of the chances in the second period, the hosts could only take a one-goal lead to Germany.
