Bayern Munich sent out a stark warning to their potential Champions League quarter-final rivals by completing the record margin of victory and aggregate scoreline in a post-group stage knockout tie in sweeping aside Sporting Clube de Portugal.

Two Lukas Podolski strikes and a Bastian Schweinsteiger effort were supplemented by an Anderson Polga own goal as Joao Moutinho gave Sporting scant half-time consolation with a superb strike.
