An intriguing duel at the "Eastlands" stadium between the local "Man City" and Turin's "Juventus" teams ended in a 1-1 draw - Vincenzo Iaquinta scored in the 11th minute with a precise shot, and Adam Johnson responded in the first half.
Similarly, Steven Gerrard's "Liverpool" team failed to secure a victory in the away match against "Utrecht," ending in a goalless draw.
Last year's tournament champions, Madrid's "Atletico" footballers, recorded a 1-1 draw against Leverkusen's "Bayer" club in front of their own fans.
