The Poland star dominated in his 100th Champions League appearance to lead Bayern Munich into the last-16 after a 5-2 rout of Benfica.They’re the first teams to progress this year with two games to spare from the group stage of Europe’s premier soccer competition.
Barcelona had goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to thank for securing a nervy 1-0 win at Dynamo Kiev. Ansu Fati’s 70th-minute goal means the struggling Spanish giant can secure its progress with a win at home over Benfica in its next game.Here’s a look at Tuesday’s group games.The 33-year-old Lewandowski took his goal tally to 81 goals in 100 Champions League games for Bayern and previous club Borussia Dortmund.
It was just the latest high-scoring win from Bayern, which previously beat Benfica 4-0, Dynamo Kyiv 5-0 and Barcelona 3-0. The visitors were fortunate that Mircea Lucescu’s Dynamo team was unable to make more of its chances. Dynamo is yet to score in the competition this seasonManchester United still harbors strong hopes of reaching the last 16 owing to Cristiano Ronaldo. The 36-year-old scored United’s equalizer in injury time against Atalanta to leave Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team top of the group, level on seven points with Villarreal.Ronaldo’s late goals have been saving United.
