BAYERN Munich secured a place in the Champions League last 16 with an impressive 4-1 win at Juventus as former European champions Real Madrid and AC Milan also advanced to the knockout stage on Tuesday.
Juventus was eliminated after Bayern came from behind to end the home side's 16-match unbeaten home run in Europe's premier club competition.
Juventus, which only needed a draw to progress from Group A, looked set to go through after David Trezeguet volleyed the Italians into an early lead but a second-half collapse resulted in its most emphatic home defeat in Europe.
"No one expected us to win like this so it makes the victory even better," Bayern's Dutch coach Louis Van Gaal said.
Croatia striker Ivica Olic was instrumental in Bayern's success. He won a penalty converted by goalkeeper Hans Joerg-Butt and then gave the German side the lead before Mario Gomez and Anatoly Tymoshchuk completed the rout.
Bayern finished as runner-up in the group, won by French champion Girondins Bordeaux which completed its impressive group stage campaign with a 1-0 success at Maccabi Haifa.
A Cristiano Ronaldo brace and a third by Raul Albiol handed Real Madrid a 3-1 Group C win at Olympique Marseille, whose consolation is a place in the second-tier Europa League last 32 available to eight third-placed teams in the Champions League.
Opportunist Ronaldo
Ronaldo blasted home a 30-meter free-kick and scored an opportunist third after Raul Albiol had cancelled out Marseille's equalizer by Lucho Gonzales, who also missed a penalty with his side 2-1 down.
Milan, which drew 1-1 at Zurich, looked in danger after a Milan Gajic free-kick gave the home side a 29th-minute lead, but Ronaldinho's penalty combined with Real's win saw the 2007 winners through.
Michael Owen scored his first hat-trick in a Manchester United shirt, giving the injury-hit English champion a 3-1 win at German title holder Wolfsburg in Group B which stretched its unbeaten away run to 15 games in the Champions League.
Bosnian Edin Dzeko revived Wolfsburg's hopes with a close-range header before Owen restored United's lead and then sealed the win with a classy goal in injury time.
United won its group and was joined in the last 16 by Russia's CSKA Moscow, which went through thanks to a 2-1 win at Turkey's Besiktas.
Serbia winger Milos Krasic fired CSKA into the lead with an angled shot and midfielder Yevgeny Aldonin netted their injury time winner.
Chelsea, which had already clinched Group D, was held to a surprise 2-2 home draw by Cypriots Apoel Nicosia while second-placed Porto eased to a 3-0 win at Atletico Madrid.
Chelsea fell behind to an early goal from Marcin Zewlakow. Quick goals by Michael Essien and Didier Drogba turned the match its way.
