Defending champions Bayern Munich almost certainly wrapped up top spot in Champions League Group D with a 3-1 victory over CSKA Moscow at Khimki Arena.

An efficient performance in front of goal ensured Bayern did not slip up in the snowy conditions as Arjen Robben, Mario Gotze and a Thomas Muller penalty did the damage. Victory was Bayern’s 10th in a row in the competition to beat Barcelona’s previous record from 2002.

It was their third broken record of the year after going more games unbeaten than anyone in Bundesliga history and winning the title last season earlier than any German team had in the past.

Gotze’s goal was the pick of the bunch as he waltzed through the Russian defence, beating five players in total before firing low and hard into the bottom corner.

CSKA created enough chances to take something from the game, but only had a contentious Keisuke Honda penalty to show for their efforts as their bid to tie down a Europa League place was delayed.
