UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: BAYERN FIRE CITY AT HOME, MOYES’ UNITED HELD

Holders Bayern Munich handed out a Champions League masterclass with a 3-1 drubbing of Manchester City on Wednesday while Cristiano Ronaldo's hot form continued with a double in Real Madrid's 4-0 rout of FC Copenhagen.

Franck Ribery, Thomas Mueller and Arjen Robben scored as Bayern left City chasing shadows for the first 80 minutes of a one-sided Group D encounter to end the Premier League team's five-year unbeaten run at home in Europe.

Alvaro Negredo pulled one back for City as Bayern finished with 10 men after Jerome Boateng's straight red card.

Ronaldo followed up his hat-trick in Real's 6-1 rout of Galatasaray in their opening Group B fixture with two goals against Copenhagen to take his tally to 55 in the competition.

In the same group, a dramatic finale in Turin saw Galatasaray, with manager Roberto Mancini taking charge for the first time, snatch a 2-2 draw with Juventus thanks to Umut Bulut's late goal.

Greece forward Kostas Mitroglou outdid Ronaldo with a hat-trick in Olympiakos Piraeus's 3-0 romp at Anderlecht and, also in Group C, Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice as Paris St Germain crushed Benfica by the same scoreline at Parc des Princes.

Brazil forward Taison's 76th-minute strike earned Shakhtar Donetsk a 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United in Group A after the visitors had led through Danny Welbeck.

Bayer Leverkusen left it late to pick up their first win, substitute Jens Hegeler curling in a free kick in stoppage time to seal a 2-1 home victory over Real Sociedad.

Earlier, CSKA Moscow secured their first points in Group D with a 3-2 home triumph over Viktoria Plzen who have lost their first two games.

Pellegrini: City Played Badly

Manuel Pellegrini admitted Bayern Munich taught Manchester City a footballing lesson during their 3-1 win at the Etihad.

 European champions Bayern delivered a masterclass as they powered to a convincing victory in Champions League Group D. The formidable attacking trio of Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben all struck as City were completely outplayed on their home turf, although they also contributed to their own downfall.

Errors from goalkeeper Joe Hart and the defence proved costly but the hosts at least finished strongly as Alvaro Negredo replied and Bayern had former City defender Jerome Boateng sent off.

The result lifted Bayern clear at the top of the group and, even after just two games, probably left City in a battle for second place with their next opponents CSKA Moscow.

The overwhelming feeling was that a City side that thrashed Manchester United just 10 days previously were taught a footballing lesson. And Pellegrini admitted as much, telling Sky Sports: "We played very bad. Bayern Munich played a very good game as always. We learned an important lesson in their goals. "We didn't have enough time with the ball at our feet. "I think that we were playing in a different way. They had possession of the ball and I don't think we can make the change to fight that. "I always think a lot of things before and after the match. It was a possibility, but I thought this was the best way to play. "I will talk about that with the players in private. "All the games are very important. This was an important game to see what level we are playing at."

 Pellegrini added: "I will talk about the team, not individual players. "That was not the team we are seeing every Sunday here in the Premier League and that was the worst thing. "Bayern always had a lot of possession but that was not a good day for us. "The three goals - I think we can do better, not only the goalkeeper. "But you can concede goals to Bayern Munich because they are a strong team."

 Pellegrini also admitted concern over Hart's form but would not go into detail on the issue. He said: "Of course I am worried about the mistakes but I think that it was not an easy game, we played against a very strong team. "Our performance was not the way we have been playing. It is important to think about the future and what are  the solutions.

 "I think that the three substitutes, Negredo, Silva, (James) Milner, they played very well. "They changed the match in the last 20 minutes but the goal of Negredo was just a little thing at the end. "The difference between Bayern Munich and Manchester City was the difference you saw the whole game. "There are a lot of reasons why this happened so it is very important for me to have the solutions. I was surprised by the game we played." He concluded.
