BAYERN FLATTERED

Bayern Munich were somewhat flattered by their 1-0 win in Vienna. Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero got the only goal after an hour but Rapid blew their chance to equalise when Jozef Valachovic sent a penalty wide eight minutes from time.

Barcelona were also lucky to come away from Germany with three points after Werder Bremen missed a host of chances.

The Spanish champions went ahead with a scruffy Deco goal after 13 minutes and somehow won it with a second-half Ronaldinho penalty.

The group stage started with a bang on Tuesday as nine-time champions Real Madrid were thumped 3-0 by Olympique Lyon.

Holders Liverpool, having come through three qualifying rounds, won 2-1 at Real Betis and there were wins for last year's losing semi-finalists Chelsea and PSV Eindhoven as well as Rosenborg Trondheim and Rangers.

The action resumes in two weeks when the games include Ajax v Arsenal, Barcelona v Udinese, Liverpool v Chelsea and Manchester United v Benfica.
