| Bayern carried on where they left off two weeks ago, inflicting
a record 12-1 aggregate defeat on Sporting Lisbon to book their
place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Leading 5-0 from the first leg, a double from Lukas Podolski and
Anderson Polga's own goal put them 3-0 up on the night within 40
minutes before Joao Moutinho pulled one back in stunning fashion.
It was the briefest respite for Sporting, though, Bastian Schweinsteiger
hitting an immediate reply, before Mark van Bommel, Miroslav Klose
(pen) and Thomas Muller netted in the second half.
The result was a record aggregate winning margin for a post-group
stage Champions League game, surpassing Lyon's 10-2 demolition of
Werder Bremen in 2005.
