Champions League round-up:Two goals from German international striker Miroslav Klose helped Bayern Munich claim the honours in Group F, surviving a second half fightback to win 3-2 away to Lyon, who go through as runners-up.

Klose got his opener in the 11th minute, with French star Franck Ribery getting in on the act after 34 minutes. Klose got his second three minutes later as the German side took complete control of the tie.

Sidney Gouvou got one back for the home side after 53 minutes and Karim Benzema gave them hope of claiming top spot 15 minutes later when he found the back of the net. But they couldn't force the equaliser that would have seen them through in top spot.

Sebastian Giovinco missed a penalty but Juventus still secured top spot in Group H with a dull 0-0 home draw against BATE Borisov.
