"We've not sealed automatic qualification for the round of 16 yet but it's looking good,"
"We want to avoid the play-offs, now we're a step closer and need one more win. That will also give us two fewer midweek fixtures."
"That meant a lot of circulating the ball, passing back and forth, staying patient and eventually finding the gaps."
In the 80th minute Floribert Ngalula sprinted to the corner flag and signalled to Vincent Kompany that Alphonso Davies was ready. Alphonso Davies returned after 261 days out with a torn cruciate ligament and celebrated a personal comeback in a 3-1 Champions League victory over Sporting Lisbon. Bayern now have 15 points and sit close to securing a place in the round of 16 with two matchdays remaining. One more win would avoid play-offs and reduce two midweek fixtures. Sporting defended very deep with two compact lines, forcing Bayern to circulate the ball patiently to find gaps. Seventeen-year-old Lennart Karl made his fourth Champions League appearance and started for the third consecutive time, a milestone no German player had previously achieved.
