Johan Micoud completed a remarkable comeback with an injury-time goal as Werder Bremen claimed a 3-2 win over Juventus in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The hosts had taken a half-time lead through Christian Schulz before Juventus levelled through Pavel Nedved and David Trezeguet looked to have won the game.

Tim Borowski levelled before Micoud's intervention gave the Germans the advantage for the return leg.

Inter Milan came from two goals down to claim a 2-2 draw with Ajax.

The Amsterdam team took a 16th-minute lead through Klaas-Jan Huntelaar's header from Mauro Rosales' right-wing cross.

Ajax doubled their lead four minutes later when Rosales converted from close range.

Dejan Stankovic halved Ajax's lead four minutes after the restart when he hit a 12-yard shot into the top left of the goal before Julio Cruz coolly slot home to level matters with four minutes to go.
