iddle test of a three-game interleague series at Citizen

Liverpool, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Liverpools first Champions League campaign in five years came to end Tuesday as the club bowed out of the competition with a disappointing 1-1 draw against FC Basel at Anfield. The Swiss side dominated the majority of the opening period and grabbed a deserved opener in the 25th minute as a well-worked passing sequence allowed Fabian Frei to smash a left-footed strike into the bottom corner. Liverpool began the second half brightly, but the hosts were reduced to 10 men at the hour mark when Lazar Markovic, who only entered the game at halftime, was issued a straight red card for swatting Behrang Safari while in possession. The Reds eventually leveled the score through a moment of brilliance from Steven Gerrard, who curled an inch-perfect free kick over the wall and into the upper corner from just outside the box in the 81st minute. The equalizer rejuvenated Liverpool and forced a frantic close to the match, but Basel managed to hold off the Premier League side to improve to seven points and clinch second place in Group B. Real Madrid already had top spot in Group B secured, but the Merengues still cruised to an emphatic 4-0 victory over Ludogorets at the Bernabeu on Tuesday. Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 20th minute before Gareth Bale doubled the advantage with a header in the 38th. The second half was much of the same as goals from Alvaro Arbeloa and Alvaro Medran in the final 10 minutes completed the rout and ensured maximum points for Madrid through its six matches of the group stage. Arsenal rebounded from a disappointing league defeat to Stoke City by running out to a 4-1 victory at Galatasaray on Tuesday. Goals from Lukas Podolski and Aaron Ramsey in the opening 11 minutes put the Gunners in a comfortable position, while Ramsey extended the lead with a sensational first-time strike from distance in the 29th minute. Wesley Sneijder pulled one back for the Turkish side with a superb free kick in the 89th minute, but Podolski grabbed a second of the match in stoppage time to restore the three-goal lead. Arsenal was made to settle for second place in Group D, though, as Borussia Dortmund claimed a point from a 1-1 draw with Anderlecht to secure first place. AS Monaco collected a 2-0 victory over Zenit St. Petersburg thanks to second- half goals from Aymen Abdennour and Fabinho. The Ligue 1 side finishes the stage atop Group C despite only scoring four goals in its six games. Bayer Leverkusen finished second in the group after playing to a 0-0 draw with Benfica. Olympiakos claimed three points in emphatic fashion by rolling over Malmo in a 4-2 victory. The two sides were level at two goals apiece heading into the final nine minutes, but goals from Konstantinos Mitroglou and Ibrahim Afellay put the Greek side over the top. The win was ultimately for naught as Atletico Madrids 0-0 draw with Juventus in Italy saw the La Liga and Serie A clubs advance to the knockout round out of Group A.
