Bayern Munich was able to advance to the knockout stages with their win on Tuesday and now they have a nice position in the Champions League standings in their group. The Bavarians have been plagued by injuries recently, but with players gradually returning to fitness they should become stronger.
Javi Martinez and Mario Goetze are back to full fitness while Arjen Robben should join them this week. Thiago Alcantara and Xherdan Shaqiri will also be returning later this month or early December while Holger Badstuber is also working on his comeback after a serious injury last season. United stay top of the group, a point ahead of Bayer Leverkusen who drew 0-0 at Shakhtar Donetsk.
Alvaro Negredo scored a hat-trick and Sergio Aguero added two goals to fire Manchester City into the Champions League knockout stage for the first time with a commanding 5-2 home win over CSKA Moscow on Tuesday.
"If you win four straight matches and have 12 points then there is not much negative to be said but obviously we need to improve," said Thomas Mueller."We did not cover ourselves in glory but we won and that is what is important. We made far too many mistakes," said Mueller.
For coach Pep Guardiola, in his first season in charge, it was a record-equaling win but the Spaniard said he wanted two more in the group. "I am delighted that we have this record of nine straight victories, said the coach of Bayern, who can also set a league record this week with their 37th consecutive game without defeat. "We want to win our group and that means winning in Moscow and in Manchester City," said Guardiola.
