Sporting Lisbon 0-5 Bayern Munich

Franck Ribery
Bayern have now scored in their last 14 Champions League away matches

Bayern Munich are now firm favourites to reach the Champions League quarter-finals after a comfortable first-leg last-16 win at Sporting Lisbon.

Franck Ribery barged his way through two defenders to coolly put Bayern ahead, while Miroslav Klose bundled in Luca Toni's flick on for the second.

Philipp Lahm was brought down in the box and Ribery converted from the spot.

Ribery then turned provider, crossing for Toni to head home and then feeding the striker to slot in the fifth.
