LONDON - Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Benfica sealed their places in the knockout phase of the Champions League on Tuesday as Manchester United's qualification hopes were left hanging in the balance.
Franck Ribery scored twice and Bayern Munich beat Villarreal 3-1 to guarantee the top spot in Group A with one round remaining.
Inter, the 2010 champion, qualified for the last 16 before a ball was kicked in its match at Trabzonspor, courtesy of Lille's 2-0 win CSKA Moscow in Group B. The Italian team ecured first place, however, by drawing 1-1 in Turkey.
Benfica ensured a top-two finish in Group C by drawing 2-2 at Manchester United, which now needs at least a point at Basel in its final game to advance.
