Champions League round-up:Inter Milan ambled through before even playing and Bayern Munich also progressed with relative ease as the Champions League qualifiers started to take shape.
Real Madrid had already booked their first knockout round berth and secured top spot in Group D in style with a 6-2 home thrashing of competition whipping boys Dinamo Zagreb despite playing several reserves.
Ajax Amsterdam all but sealed their passage in the other group game with a 0-0 draw against Lyon.
Inter, the 2010 winners, reached February’s first knockout round after Group B rivals Lille revived their chances of going through with a 2-0 win at CSKA Moscow in the early game.
A 1-1 draw at Trabzonspor meant Inter also sealed top spot with the Turks, Lille and CSKA all in the running for the second qualification spot.
Bayern, beaten in the final by Inter two seasons ago, powered through and made sure of finishing top of Group A with a routine 3-1 home win over Villarreal in which Franck Ribery scored twice.
