verge of reaching the Champions League quarterfinals for the seventh straight year.

BERLIN -- Bayern Munich stretched its Bundesliga lead to 16 points with a comfortable 4-0 win over Freiburg on Saturday, while Hamburger SV fired its coach after losing 4-2 at bottom side Eintracht Braunschweig. Dante headed Bayern into a 19th-minute lead and Xherdan Shaqiri scored with deflected shots in the 34th and 42nd. Claudio Pizarro completed the rout in the 88th as Bayern stretched its league record unbeaten run to 46 games. "Its always hard when the whole world says you have to win," said Bayern coach Pep Guardiola after his sides 13th consecutive Bundesliga victory. Guardiola rested several players with an eye on Wednesdays Champions League round-of-16 first leg at Arsenal. But Shaqiri will miss the game after tearing a muscle at the back of his right thigh in the second half. French winger Franck Ribery was already out after undergoing surgery on a burst blood vessel in his buttock. Second-place Bayer Leverkusen lost 2-1 at home to Schalke, which was on a four-game winning streak. Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka won the ball from Lars Bender, lifted it over an incoming defenders challenge and chipped the goalkeeper in the 28th. Leverkusen equalized in the 66th after Schalke defender Felipe Santana cleared off the line but conceded an own goal from the resulting corner. The home side was left to rue several missed chances when Klaas Jan Huntelaar headed a free kick inside the far post in the 74th. Leverkusen was knocked out of the German Cup by second-division Kaiserslautern on Wednesday and next faces Paris Saint-Germain at home in the Champions League on Tuesday. "We played the better football, I feel for the team," Leverkusen coach Sami Hyypia said. "If we play like this on Tuesday Ill be happy. We showed a lot of character." Hamburg slipped into full crisis mode after slumping to its seventh consecutive league defeat and fired Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk and his assistant Roel Coumans late Saturday. "My job is not important right now," Van Marwijk had said after Domi Kumbela scored a hat trick for Braunschweig to move within a point of Hamburg, which is facing the prospect of its first relegation from the Bundesliga. Also, third-place Borussia Dortmund defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 4-0, Werder Bremen drew 1-1 with Borussia Moenchengladbach, and Hoffenheim beat 10-man Stuttgart 4-1 for the visiting sides sixth consecutive defeat. Hamburg goalkeeper Rene Adlers two mistakes proved costly for his side in Braunschweig. Pierre-Michel Lasogga marked his return for the visitors by scoring Hamburgs first goal of the year in the 23rd, with a hopeful header back that looped over the goalie. Adler spilled a shot from Karim Bellarabi and Kumbela swept the rebound home in the 51st, 10 minutes before he scored again. Ivo Ilicevic equalized in the 76th, but Adler could only parry a free kick in the 85th, allowing Kumbela to scoop the ball over two defenders. Bellarabi eluded two Hamburg defenders and crossed for Jan Hochscheidt to seal the result in injury time. "It was so unnecessary. But if you give away goals like that it makes it very difficult," Van Marwijk said. Dortmund was playing Frankfurt for the second time in a week after its 1-0 German Cup quarterfinal win on Tuesday. Henrikh Mkhitaryan dispossessed Frankfurt defender Sebastian Jung and waited before playing the perfect pass between four Frankfurt defenders for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to open the scoring in the 10th. Aubameyang got his second goal 11 minutes later after a corner, and Robert Lewandowski converted a penalty to make it 3-0 two minutes after the break. It was the Polish strikers first goal against Frankfurt and his 14th of the season. Milos Jojic scored just seconds after going on for his Bundesliga debut to complete the scoring in the 68th. Another winter signing, Ludovic Obraniak, salvaged Bremens hard-earned draw by scoring in the 88th minute against Moenchengladbach. The visitors had been leading since the sixth, when Assani Lukimyas poor pass out of defence invited Raffael to score. "Its a little point in the table but hopefully a big one for morale," Bremen coach Robin Dutt said.

Advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals should be a formality after Lionel Messi scored a penalty and Dani Alves added a late second to secure a commanding 2-0 advantage over City in the round of 16 on Tuesday. Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas felt confident enough to deliver a message to his teams critics: "They will have to shut up for a few days." It seems incongruous that Fabregas would have to be so defensive of Barcelona, given his team tops the Spanish standings, has reached the Copa del Rey final and is on the verge of reaching the Champions League quarterfinals for the seventh straight year. "Theres nothing else you can ask for," Fabregas said. So much for the Catalan giants being a fading force. This win, against a team that seeks to emulate Barcelona on and off the pitch, exposed the gulf between them. And City, which has spent heavily to reach the knockout phase for the first time, couldnt keep up with the elegant visitors. "Maybe we had to prove a point in a way and I think we did it," Fabregas said. "And I think we did it in a style." Waves of attacks by the Spanish champions had been repelled until the start of the second half when Martin Demichelis couldnt keep up with the speedy Messi, dragging down his fellow Argentine and conceding the penalty. Even after Messi made it 11 goals in 11 games since returning from injury, City managed to test Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes more than had it with a full complement of players. But City couldnt equalize against the run of play and Dani Alves successfully completed a one-two with substitute Neymar in the 90th minute to score the teams 113th goal of the season. It was an unsettling introduction to the knockout phase of the competition for City, with Barcelonas poise and panache enabling the four-time European champions to remain in near-complete control against Englands emerging force. Rather than acknowleedging the strength of the opposition, City manager Manuel Pellegrini questioned the integrity of Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson.dddddddddddd "From the beginning I could see the ref was not impartial to both teams," Pellegrini said. And Pellegrini felt that the referee was not up to managing a game of this magnitude despite being selected by FIFA for the World Cup. A Swede lit up the nights other game. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice, between goals from Blaise Matuidi and Yohan Cabaye, as Paris Saint-Germain won 4-0 at Bayer Leverkusen. The second legs of both games are on March 12, and wiping out a 2-0 deficit would seem to be beyond City at this stage. Especially if it struggles to break up Barcelonas flowing passing moves like at the Etihad. Somehow, though, the hosts emerged unscathed from their hesitant start and even produced the first meaningful shot of the match after 25 minutes when Alvaro Negredo curled the ball at Valdes. For all Barcelonas dominance, Hart had one meaningful save to make in the first half, pushing away Xavi Hernandezs long-range strike. "I thought we maybe gave a little too much respect to them in the beginning," City captain Vincent Kompany said. "They were there for the taking." But City couldnt and, after a quiet first half by his standards, Messis key contribution came after the break, scoring his 66th Champions League goal in the 54th minute, putting him just five from levelling Raul Gonzalezs record. Aside from Xavi firing over and Dani Alves skewing an effort wide, City looked more likely to find the net at times in the second half despite chasing shadows so often. Then a lightening move down the right flank was completed by Dani Alves putting the ball through Harts legs from a tight angle, giving Barca a comfortable lead as it chases a first European title since 2011. "They are incredibly efficient," Kompany said. "When you play against them you do realize the individual quality of this team is phenomenal and it makes it so difficult to close them down."
