Bayern Munich beat Sporting Lisbon 0-5 in their round of sixteen first leg clash, and are practically certain of a spot in the next round.
The opener came three minutes before the break Frenchman Franck Ribery received a pass from Derley and beat two defenders before sliding the ball through the legs of keeper Tiago.
Forward Miroslav Klose added a second on 57 minutes, converting a Massimo Oddo cross at the far post.
And not much later, the Germans had a chance to score their third as Lahm was fouled by Rochemback in the Portuguese penalty area. Ribery made no mistake from the spot, 0-3.
Italian striker Luca Toni added two more goals, in the 84th and 91st minutes, to hand Bayern a very convincing 0-5 victory
The return leg, to be played at Munich’s Allianz Arena, is now not much more than a formality.
