| Bayern Munich took a big step towards a place in the quarter-finals
of the Champions League as Franck Ribery inspired them to a 5-0
thrashing of Sporting in the first leg of their last 16 tie in Portugal
on Wednesday.
Bayern came into the match following a home defeat against Cologne
in the Bundesliga, but were a team transformed here, scoring goals
from almost all of their chances.
"The result is positive for us as it opens the road to the
quarter-finals," Bayern manager Jurgen Klinnsmann said.
"It is positive, especially since the last games did not go
that well for us, but we cannot become overly enthusiastic and must
prepare calmly for the match on Sunday against Werder Bremen,"
he added.
