Bayern Munich 5 – 1 Benfica
(Robben 13, 30, 'Lewandowski 36', 51 ', Ribery 76' – Gedson 46 ')

85 & # 39; – Scrappy stuff by the minute.

81 & # 39; – South Korean midfielder Woo-Yeong Jeong makes his debut as a replacement for Müller. He is the first South Korean to play for Bayern.

78 & # 39; – He has done so, Ribery scores a first goal in the Champions League since 2015. He played in Alaba and followed his race to bring back home reduction. The Frenchman is immediately replaced by Sandro Wagner. But the monkey is on his back.

76 – GOAL! Bayern Munich 5 (Ribery) – 1 Benfica

76 & # 39; – Benfica is now a submarine – Semedo for Fejsa. Kovac will he give a chance to one of his young now? He should surely.

72 & # 39; – There will be no hat trick for Robben tonight as Sanches faces his old club.

70 & # 39; – Goretzka tries his luck from a distance but Vlachodimos beats her. Robben is the first to bounce but he is offside.

69 & # 39; – Ribery has the courage to knock from left to right in the penalty area but fails to stand out.

67 & # 39; – An update of Group F, where Hoffenheim draws 2-2 with Shaktar Donetsk and Manchester City and Lyon are blocked 1-1. In the current state, the Germans come out and the last two teams are eliminated. A way to go at the moment.

63 – Alaba arrives at the sideline and beckons Müller to attack at the front post. The guard is brave and comes first. Müller's foot is too high anyway. Vlachodimos has prevented this from being more embarrbading until now.

59 & # 39; – They solved the problem now and Seferovic introduces himself to Jonah. The former Bundesliga man has been very keen in Switzerland lately.

57 & # 39; – The fourth official and various other men can not be aware of what is wrong with the electronic board of substitutions and Benfica wants to create a submarine.

55 & # 39; – Jonas made a good snap at the edge of the box, but Neuer tried a comfortable save.

52 & # 39; – A true copy of his first. Lewandowski jumps up again and still plants a Kimmich corner head. It'll calm the nerves.

51 – GOAL! Bayern Munich 4 (Lewandowski) -1 Benfica

50 & # 39; – Ribery dances through three or four players but hits too close to the goalkeeper. The wait continues for the Frenchman.

48 & # 39; – No matter, great things have happened. Gedson, 19, made progress on the pitch, played a brace and surpbaded Neuer just 30 seconds after entering the field. Bayern surely can not blow this one. Surely.

46 – GOAL! Bayern Munich 3 – 1 Benfica (Gedson)

46 & # 39; – We leave. Benfica introduced Gedson Fernandes, of whom much is expected, for Pizzi. Bayern are unchanged.

HALF-TIME: This is the first period done. Two Dutch Robben specials and a Lewandowski header coming from a corner and it is done. But trust is key for Bayern and a hammer could help.

45 & # 39; – Benfica has a shot! It's wide of Almeida but, still, a shot.

42 & # 39; – Bayern now looks a bit like Bayernish, bypbades it, looks dangerous and even shows a bit of confidence.

38 & # 39; – The Vlachodimos will be furious here. He managed brilliantly to save Müller's head before Lewandowski nodded in Kimmich's corner, almost without a doubt. The Polish striker took it well but he did not have much to do.

36 – GOAL! Bayern Munich 3 – 0 Benfica (Lewandowski)

36 & # 39; – Is Bayern playing well or is Benfica really bad? A bit of both for me. Visitors now need four. I will shake my head and say that they will not have them.

34 – Ribery joins Robben in the book after catching a Benfica man in the shoulder with one foot up. It was very high – probably not malicious but certainly dangerous.

32 & # 39; – Another real Robben of a goal. Müller lifted him behind his back, Lewandowski pulled the defenders out and Robben cut the inside and attacked him with the left. This time he placed it at the next post.

30 & # 39; – GOAL! Bayern Munich 2 – 0 Benfica (Robben)

28 & # 39; – Benfica takes a break for the first time. Jonas plays Pizzi, who has moved away from Alaba. But the Austrian returns to block the center and Conti heads to the corner. Recall that the Portuguese side now need three goals to keep their hopes in the Champions League.

26 & # 39; – The Dutchman is again involved in the game, capitalizing on a terrible mistake. But his shot is blocked.

25 & # 39; – Robben goes into the book for a late tackle.

23 & # 39; – Neuer comes out of the box to give Jonas a long ball forward, then, moments later, his opponent, Vlachodimos, superbly manages to tip a Lewandowski curling player over the bar. This looked in the way, brilliant save.

19 & # 39; – Ribery nearly achieved this long-awaited European goal by taking up Robben's book. The French winger penetrated the left side but hit his curler player from the right foot to the goalkeeper.

16 & # 39; – That's Robben's first goal in the Champions League since March 2017, his criminal partner had to wait even longer.

14 & # 39; – He tried that shot to his right (see 3), now Robben returns to the old familiar. The veteran cut the right, made some challenges, perhaps getting some luck on the way, and then buried the curler on the left foot.

13 – GOAL! Bayern Munich 1 – 0 Benfica

8 & # 39; – Rafinha nibbles a little Cervi in ​​the middle of the park but escapes without reservation.

5 – Kimmich swings a free kick from the left that is about to be wiped out by the hosts. Bayern in the early ascendant.

3 – Lewandowski enters the middle of the field and hits Robben. The old dog tries to learn new tricks and hits with his right foot. But there is a chance. Maybe stick to the cup inside Arjen?

1 & # 39; – And we're going!

20h55 – Kovac therefore continues to trust the old guard: Müller, Neuer, Robben and Ribery all start despite varying levels of mediocre form. One could argue that he had little choice considering injuries, but one could also argue that the club's youth deserve to get started, given the lack of recent performances. Ulreich could also feel aggrieved by Neuer's struggles.

It looks like he followed Joachim Löw using Joshua Kimmich in the middle of the field, Rafinha in the back. We will see how that happens.

20h50 – The final whistle came in the other Group E match, where Ajax beat AEK Athens 10-0, ten men, to secure their place in the round of 16 for the first time in more than ten years. This means that the clashes between Ajax and Bayern on day six will determine the winners of the group. Only a win of two goals or more tonight will keep Benfica's hopes alive and AEK will be in last place.

8:45 pm – Hello and welcome to the fifth day of the Champions League, where Bayern Munich can reserve its place for the round of 16.

At the last meeting between the two teams, Bayern dismissed Benfica for a sixth straight win for Niko Kovac, while Renato Sanches produced a memorable performance on his former pitch. September seems to be a long time ago, with some suggesting that Kovac could leave this week, having scored only nine points over the last 24 of the Bundesliga and Bayern fifth.

Injuries were added to the insult, with Kovac missing tonight at a number of older men, Mats Hummels and Serge Gnabry being the latest to have succumbed respectively to a stomach bug and to adduction. Sanches is one of only three outdoor field senior players named as substitutes tonight. Meritan Shabani, Woo-Yeong Jeong and Jonathan Meier are the young people of the country. Here's how the sides align.
